Staff turnover

Serious cites

The state-run veterans home in Spring City runs 238 certified beds and staffs nurses at 5.46 hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 16% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 28.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Where it slips is inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 14 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $15,733 fine. The most recent inspection was May 9, 2025. Strong staffing and quality scores, weaker inspection history, that's the tradeoff to weigh if you're considering this home.

Tel Hai in Honey Brook runs a nonprofit shop with 119 certified beds, and the numbers back up the reputation. Nurse staffing sits at 5.41 hours per resident day, roughly 40 percent above the national average, and only about a quarter of the staff turns over each year, compared with nearly 46 percent nationally. The trade-off is a slight weekend dip: staffing drops about 9 percent from weekday levels. The current inspection record is clean, with zero deficiencies of any kind and no abuse findings, and the most recent state visit came in November 2025. Quality measures land mid-pack.

Pocopson Home is county-run, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, with a five-star CMS staffing rating and turnover at 31.1% against a national 45.8%. Weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. The trade-off sits in the inspection record, 4 out of 5 stars, but five deficiencies on file, two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $16,036. Quality measures came in at 2 out of 5. Staffing is this home's strength; the safety history is what you'd want to press on directly.

Barclay Friends runs 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing does dip about 5% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits mostly on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record is thin in a good way: one deficiency total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was June 2025, so the picture is current. CMS rated the health inspection side 4 out of 5, with quality measures and staffing each at 3. As a nonprofit corporation with 64 certified beds, it's small enough that you'll likely get to know the staff. The staffing number is the real strength here; the mid-range quality and staffing stars are what keep it from scoring higher.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Hickory House runs 110 certified beds in Honey Brook under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the weak spot. At 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 48.7%, a few points above the national rate. The inspection side is stronger: a 4-star health inspection rating, a clean record on harm-level deficiencies, and a recent survey in May 2026. But 16 total deficiencies with three tied to abuse is not nothing, and quality measures scoring 5/5 don't offset thinner daily staffing. Ask about weekend coverage and who's actually on the floor.

Oxford Health Center runs on a nonprofit model with 90 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, nine deficiencies total, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The tradeoff shows up in staffing: 3.70 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, weekends dip another 6% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover hits 50% against a national 45.8%. Inspections and quality measures both rate well; staffing rates middle. A recent inspection in March 2026 means the picture is current. Ask about weekend coverage and what those abuse deficiencies involved.

Wayne Center runs 112 certified beds in Chester County under corporate ownership, and its nursing hours come in at 3.49 per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday staffing, which matters because that's when families often visit and notice. Turnover sits at 43%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections are recent (May 2025) and the health inspection and quality ratings both land at 4 of 5, though the record shows 11 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $8,824. Solid survey results, thinner staffing.

Twin Pines runs on thinner staffing than most places. At 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday coverage, that's when call bells tend to ring longer. Annual turnover of 50% tops the national 45.8%, so faces change often. What keeps it above water is the inspection record: a 4/5 health inspection rating with 14 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus a recent survey from April 2026. Quality measures score 5/5. For-profit corporate ownership, 119 beds. The care itself looks decent; the question is whether there's consistently enough staff to deliver it.

Green Meadows runs 184 beds in Malvern under for-profit partnership ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is 46%, almost exactly the national 45.8%. The record shows 13 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was December 11, 2025. Inspection and quality measure ratings both land at 4 of 5 stars. What the numbers describe is a decently inspected home where the main soft spot is daily staffing depth, especially on weekends.

St Martha Center runs on thin staffing relative to most homes nationally, about 13% below the average, and weekends get leaner still, dropping roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 48.1%, a couple points above the national figure. What keeps the record clean is inspection performance: ten deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a survey completed in January 2026. The quality measure and health inspection ratings both hit 5/5, while staffing lands at 2/5, which is the tension worth weighing. For-profit, LLC-owned, 120 beds. If you're considering this one, ask how the weekend floor actually gets covered.

West Chester Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 180 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits around 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 6 percent thinner than weekdays. That shortfall shows up in its CMS staffing rating of 2 out of 5, even though its quality measure score is a stronger 4. Staff turnover lands at 43.8 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 41 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $40,019 in fines across two penalties, with the most recent inspection in October 2024.

Aventura At Pembrooke runs 180 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $85,255; the last inspection was August 2025. Staffing and quality measures both score 2 of 5 stars, inspections 1 of 5. No abuse citations appear on the current record. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically how weekend coverage is handled and what changed after those harm-level findings.

Manatawny Center runs 133 certified beds in Pottstown under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go first. Nurses provide 3.38 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 61.5% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are cycling through quickly. The health inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $25,140 fine. Quality measures score better than staffing does, which suggests the care model works when people are there to deliver it.

Nurse staffing at this Phoenixville home runs about 3.16 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends dip even lower than weekdays. Annual turnover is 69.5%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative will be gone within a year, against a national rate near 46%. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, including two at the level that put residents in actual harm or jeopardy and three tied to abuse. A single fine of $94,695 is on file from an inspection completed in August 2025. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and while its quality measure star sits at 5, that score describes charted care, not whether enough hands are present to deliver it.
