Willowcrest runs on 6.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 60% above the national average of 3.86, a staffing level most homes never approach. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday figure, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 36.2%, better than the 45.8% national rate, which suggests aides tend to stay. The inspection record shows nine deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the last survey was in January 2026. With 44 beds under nonprofit ownership, this is a small, well-staffed home whose numbers hold up on their own.

The Philadelphia Protestant Home runs 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing holds steady at roughly the same level as weekdays, a gap that trips up plenty of homes. Staff turnover sits at 20.2% against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Its last inspection was in May 2026, and the eight deficiencies on record include none tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse. For a 116-bed nonprofit in Philadelphia, that combination of stable coverage and a clean recent inspection record is doing most of the work here.

Lafayette-Redeemer runs about 4.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, though weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 40.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning four in ten caregivers left within the year. The inspection record is clean where it matters most: four deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in February 2025. That combination of steady staffing, a low-risk deficiency profile, and recent federal review is what puts this nonprofit home among the stronger performers in Philadelphia.

Holy Family Home runs on 6.00 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 55% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing margin shows up in the CMS star ratings, where it earns 5/5. Weekend coverage dips only about 3% below weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out much when families tend to visit. The health inspection record is solid at 4/5, with four deficiencies total, none abuse-related. One of those four did rise to the harm or jeopardy level, which is worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection closed April 2, 2026. With 18 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, this is a small home with a strong staffing and quality profile and just that one inspection concern to weigh.

Simpson House, a nonprofit home in Philadelphia, runs 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips about 5% below what it manages on weekdays. Its five deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and its last inspection was in April 2026, so the picture is current. The staffing star comes in at 3 of 5 even with the above-average hours, which suggests the mix or consistency of coverage holds it back more than the raw number does.

Paul's Run runs a tight ship on staffing, with 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average of 3.86. That margin is thin, and weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care can feel lighter on Saturdays and Sundays. The standout number is turnover: 29% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses tend to stick around, which matters for residents who value familiar faces. Inspections are current (August 2025), the health inspection rating sits at 4 out of 5, and none of the 15 deficiencies on record rose to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Nonprofit ownership, 119 beds.

Germantown Home runs a leaner nursing floor than most: 3.63 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and needs don't pause. Where it stands out is retention, 26.4% annual turnover against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses largely stay, which tends to show up in familiarity and consistency of care. Fourteen deficiencies sit on the record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in August 2025. As a nonprofit, there's no ownership chain pulling profit out.

Ivy Hill runs 145 beds in Philadelphia under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national mark, 3.84 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, with weekends dipping about 7% below its own weekday levels. Turnover matches the national average at 45.8%, so retention isn't the problem here. The inspection record is: 47 deficiencies on file, four tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent look came in March 2026. Quality measures score well and staffing holds up, but that inspection history is the piece worth asking about directly.

Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley runs 120 certified beds as a nonprofit, with total nurse staffing at 3.84 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends about 9% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 42.2%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $8,824; the most recent inspection was May 2026. CMS rates the home 3 out of 5 on health inspections but 4 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing. The inspection history and those abuse-related findings are what pull against the otherwise solid marks.

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.

St Monica Center runs 180 certified beds in Philadelphia under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 44.6%, a touch under the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the heavier story: 43 deficiencies on file, one abuse-related, though none reached harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the record is current. Quality measures score well, staffing sits mid-range, and inspections pull the other way.

Kearsley runs about 4.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, and its 42.2% turnover is a touch better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. The catch is weekends: staffing drops about 15% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. On inspections, the record shows 42 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way and two tied to abuse, with one fine of $12,185 and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. The May 2025 survey is recent, which helps, and the 5-out-of-5 quality measure rating reflects good clinical numbers. The staffing and quality sides look reasonable; the enforcement history is what pulls the overall picture down.

Laurel Square runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.64 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 7% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families tend to visit and when residents may need help most. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 35 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $7,727 fine. Staff turnover sits at 51.4%, meaning about half the nursing team leaves each year, well above the 45.8% national rate. A for-profit partnership operates the 87-bed building. The most recent state inspection was June 2025.

St. John Neumann runs 226 beds in Philadelphia under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 37 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $26,043 fine. The most recent inspection was November 2025.

Deer Meadows runs about 206 beds in Philadelphia under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop another 9 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, which is a lot to carry for a home inspected as recently as October 2025. Turnover at 42.1 percent is slightly better than the national 45.8 percent, and quality measures rate 3 out of 5, modest strengths against a staffing and inspection picture that needs watching.

River's Edge runs about 3.66 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends dip another 12% below its own weekday staffing. That shortfall shows up in the staffing star rating of 2/5, and annual turnover of 47.9% sits slightly above the national 45.8%. Its inspection record carries 37 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. A 5/5 quality measure rating and a 3/5 inspection rating offset some of that, but the numbers point to a home where the hands-on care margin is thin.

Cliveden runs 180 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing numbers sit closer to the bottom than the middle: 3.41 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 4% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 51.4% means roughly half the nursing staff leaves each year, which matters more when there's already less coverage per resident. The record shows 61 deficiencies, including three tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level. Inspectors were last in on June 13, 2025, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5. Resident outcome measures score well, but those reflect a narrower slice of care than daily staffing and survey history do.

Inglis House runs 5.29 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, roughly 37% above the national average of 3.86, that's a real number in a city where most homes don't hit it. But the inspection record tells a rougher story: 42 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in on March 20, 2025, so the findings are recent. Weekend staffing drops about 13% from weekday levels. The nonprofit's CMS staffing star lands at 2 out of 5, which suggests the hours aren't distributed the way the rating system wants to see.

Oakwood Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 148 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, when staffing drops about 9% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover runs 50% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care change often. The current inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level but two tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $5,269. Its last inspection was May 2026, so the picture is recent rather than stale, and the health inspection rating came in at 4 of 5 stars.

Tucker House runs on 3.39 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 12% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 55.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The inspection record carries 56 deficiencies, including three tied to abuse, though none rise to actual harm or jeopardy; the last inspection was December 2025 and the health inspection star rating is 2 out of 5. This is a for-profit LLC with 180 certified beds.
