Fairview Rehab and Care Center is a 176-bed for-profit home in Philadelphia, and the staffing numbers are the first thing you'd notice. At 2.86 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 26% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 55.7% against a national figure of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are often new. The inspection record backs that up: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 84 deficiencies on file, including five tied to abuse and one at the harm level. A single fine of $37,431 is on record, and the most recent inspection was January 9, 2026. Its quality measure score is strong, but that measures resident outcomes on paper, not the hands available to deliver care.

Aristacare At East Falls runs 5.50 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, but the weekend gap and a 58.6% turnover rate suggest those hours aren't reliably staffed by the same people. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 79 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $57,568. A 1/5 inspection rating and a 1/5 staffing rating, despite the raw hours, point to real gaps between what's scheduled and what families actually experience.

Special Focus Facility

Care Pavilion is a 396-bed for-profit home in Philadelphia, and the numbers that stand out most aren't about its size. State inspectors have cited 96 deficiencies on the current record, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse, a volume that suggests problems aren't isolated incidents. Federal fines total $185,704 across three actions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.20 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays. One relative bright spot: staff turnover is 32.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The last inspection was December 22, 2025, so that record is recent.
