Staff turnover

Mon Valley Care Center runs 60 certified beds in Monongahela under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing numbers are the part worth slowing down on. At 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly another 9% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Quality measures score well, but the lower staffing rating reflects a real gap, not a paperwork issue. Fewer hands per resident is the thing to ask about directly.

Oak Glen is a 226-bed for-profit home in Lewisburg, and its numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays, worth knowing if your family tends to visit on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover at 44% is basically in line with the national rate, so that's not a red flag here. What stands out more is the inspection record: 31 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The state last visited in August 2025, so the record is current. Quality measures score well; the inspection side is where the concerns live.

Wesley Enhanced Living Pennypack Park runs 120 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.72 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday coverage, which matters most when families visit and needs pile up. Staff turnover of 41.2% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the weak spot here. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 36 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $14,015. The last inspection was September 2025. Federal quality measures score 2 out of 5, so clinical outcomes lag behind the staffing picture.

Mountain Laurel runs 240 beds in Clearfield under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, with weekends about 10% thinner than weekdays. That shortfall shows up in its two-out-of-five staffing rating, and the inspection record is worse: 65 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, against a one-out-of-five health inspection rating. The quality measure score is perfect at five, which is a real bright spot, but a number built largely from self-reported resident data can look better than the day-to-day reality a staffing shortfall and that deficiency history suggest. The last inspection was August 2025, so the record is current.

Cross Keys Village runs a lean nursing staff for a nonprofit of its size, 3.75 hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Turnover at 57.1% is well above the national 45.8%, so consistent caregivers are harder to count on here than at the typical home. The good news is inspection history: a perfect health inspection record, a March 2026 survey, and only four deficiencies on file with none rising to harm or abuse. That combination, clean inspections, thinner and less stable staffing, is what pulls the grade to a solid but not top mark.

Concordia At Spiritrust Luther Ridge runs 4.56 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing level is the strongest part of its record. Weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters when a resident declines on a Saturday. The problem sits elsewhere: 62.1% annual turnover means most of the people providing that care are new, three abuse-related deficiencies appear on the current record, and one deficiency rose to the harm level. The last inspection was May 2025. Twenty-five deficiencies and a 2-out-of-5 quality measure rating pull against the staffing number.

Myerstown Nursing and Rehab runs 152 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average of 3.86. That gap is small, and weekends dip only about 1% below weekdays, so coverage here looks fairly steady rather than stretched thin. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in August 2025. Quality measures score well above the staffing rating, which tells you residents' clinical outcomes are holding up even though the nurse hours aren't generous. For a family weighing a move, the care numbers look better than the labor numbers.

Lifequest Nursing Center runs 140 certified beds in Quakertown under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 4% below weekday levels, worth knowing if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. The health inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: a 4-out-of-5 rating, 13 deficiencies on file but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated May 2026. Quality measures are the weak spot at 2 out of 5, so ask what specifically drives that score before you decide.

Nightingale Nursing and Rehab Center runs 139 beds in Erie under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, a 4/5 health inspection rating, with the most recent survey in February 2026 and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. The staffing picture is where it gets uneven. Total nurse hours come in around 3.61 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 60.1% compared to 45.8% nationally. Two abuse-related deficiencies also appear on the current record. So you have a home that passes inspections cleanly but runs lean on the floor and cycles through staff quickly, worth asking about directly.

Wyomissing Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 103 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is recent, the last visit was August 2025, with 16 deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level. Two of those are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The staffing picture is thinner than it looks: 3.57 nurse hours per resident day sits about 8% under the national average, weekends drop roughly another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 56.4% against a national 45.8%. High turnover plus weekend dips is the pattern that shows up as inconsistent care, even when inspections look fine.

Jewel Healthcare runs lean on nursing hours, 3.24 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is where it stands out: 30.1% of staff leaving annually sounds high until you compare it to the 45.8% national figure, meaning this building keeps its people longer than most. Six deficiencies on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and a recent August 2025 inspection back that up. The tension is real: steady, stable staff paired with thin daily coverage and a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating, offset by 4s on inspections and quality measures. Ask how they fill weekend shifts before you decide.

Brookline Nursing and Rehab runs 85 certified beds in Mifflintown under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits about 6 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping roughly another 6 percent below its own weekday levels. That shortfall matches its two-out-of-five staffing rating. Turnover is 37.3 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the home isn't losing nurses faster than most. The record shows 30 deficiencies, none causing harm but three tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was February 27, 2026. Quality measures score five out of five while inspection results land at three, a home that looks strong on paper measures but thinner on daily coverage.

Abington Manor runs on thinner staffing than most homes, 3.23 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often can't visit. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related citation, though the last survey was recent (September 2025). Staff turnover sits at 49.2%, a bit above the national rate, which means caregivers are frequently new to the building. Its quality measure score is strong, but that reflects charted clinical outcomes, not the daily experience of having enough hands on the floor.

Watsontown Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 125 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell two different stories. Nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 12 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover at 40 percent actually beats the national rate of 45.8 percent, which matters for continuity of care. Where the record gets harder to ignore is inspections: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 61 deficiencies on the current record, including three at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus $21,765 in fines across two events. The last inspection was September 12, 2025. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5, but that's the piece families should weigh against the enforcement history, not instead of it.

Elizabethtown Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 45 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits about 6% under the national average at 3.63 nurse hours per resident per day, with weekends dipping another 3% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover is 50%, above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record shows 45 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level; the last inspection was June 2025. CMS rates staffing and health inspections 2 out of 5, while quality measures score 4. The quality numbers look better than the day-to-day staffing and inspection picture.

Mahoning Operating LLC runs 142 certified beds in Lehighton as a for-profit corporation, and its three CMS star ratings all land at 3 out of 5, inspection, quality measures, and staffing alike. Nurse staffing comes to 3.59 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse. The last inspection was December 12, 2025, so the picture is recent. Nothing here reads as dangerous; it reads as a home that meets the middle and could use more hands on weekends.

Shippensburg Rehabilitation and Health Care Center runs 125 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its recent inspection history is the strongest part of the picture, a four-out-of-five health inspection rating with 13 deficiencies on record, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level. Staffing is where it gets thinner. At 3.56 total nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6% below the home's own weekday coverage. That gap is what pulls the staffing rating down to two stars and keeps the overall grade from climbing higher despite the solid inspection showing.

Barnes-Kasson County Hospital runs a 58-bed nonprofit unit in Susquehanna, and its nurse staffing comes in around 4.27 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, with weekend coverage about 12% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 37%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: 22 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, a 3/5 inspection rating, and a 1/5 on quality measures despite the 4/5 staffing score. The last inspection was January 16, 2025, so the record is recent.

Westmoreland Manor runs 408 certified beds as a county-owned home, and its staffing sits about 5% under the national average at 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, with weekends dropping roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 46.5%, essentially matching the national 45.8%, meaning roughly half the nursing staff cycles through in a year. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 32 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. County ownership can mean stable public funding, but it hasn't translated into a clean survey history here.

Brookmont runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 3.26 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 14% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. That gap matters because aides and nurses are the people who catch a fall or a change in condition. Turnover sits at 55%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the crew caring for your relative is likely to keep changing. The good news: 29 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a December 2025 inspection behind them. State surveyors rated health inspections 3 out of 5 and quality measures 5 out of 5, even as staffing drew a 2.
