Roosevelt Rehabilitation runs 240 beds in Philadelphia under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so the hours thin out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 40.5%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, though a recent inspection on April 9, 2026, still left 59 deficiencies on the record, none at harm level, but one abuse-related. Quality measures score well; the inspection and staffing ratings don't.
Renaissance Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 123 beds in Philadelphia under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the numbers give a mixed picture. Nurse staffing sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, roughly 8% below the home's own weekday levels, while annual turnover hits 50%, above the national 45.8%. The inspection record carries 35 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $8,018; the most recent inspection was September 11, 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results are where the concerns sit. Worth asking about weekend coverage and turnover directly.
Centennial runs 180 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, with weekends dipping about 7% below its own weekday levels. Turnover runs 52.4% against a national 45.8%, which matters because residents see a rotating cast of caregivers. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but two tied to abuse. Inspections are recent, from August 2025, and the health inspection rating is a middling 3 out of 5, while quality measures come in at 1 out of 5. If you're weighing this one, ask about weekend coverage and how they keep consistent assignments.
University City runs 3.37 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 57%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means unfamiliar faces are the norm rather than the exception. Its record carries 54 deficiencies, including three tied to abuse; none reached the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was January 2026. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company.
Liberty Center runs on 2.86 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 14% below its own weekday pace. That thin coverage shows up in its staffing rating, which sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and in a record of 41 deficiencies, one serious enough to cause harm, three tied to abuse. Staff turnover, at 45.2%, is basically the national norm, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hours actually reach the floor. The quality measure score looks strong, but that's built from reported clinical data, not the inspection findings from June 2025.
Caring Heart runs 269 certified beds in Philadelphia under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 44.3%, close to the national 45.8%, so that's not the standout problem here.
The inspection record is. Fifty-six deficiencies are on file, one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $24,675. The last inspection was June 12, 2025. Residents' quality measures score well, but staffing and health inspections both come in at 2 out of 5 stars, the gap between how the place measures and how it's actually run is worth asking about directly.
Accela Rehab and Care Center at Somerton runs 225 beds in Philadelphia under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the place to start. At 3.05 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 21% under the national average, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover hits 50%, above the 45.8% national figure. Inspections in March 2025 produced 53 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with $12,740 in fines. The low staffing star reflects all of this.
Cathedral Village runs about 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday coverage. That's a real gap if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 54.1% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for your relative are likelier than average to be new or on their way out. The record also shows 17 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $208,039. Inspections were recent and the care measures look decent, but the enforcement history is the part worth asking about directly.
Logan Square Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs on 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends drop about another 10% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 43.2%, a hair better than the 45.8% national figure, which is the one staffing-related number here that isn't working against it. Twenty-eight deficiencies appear on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with a single $43,154 fine and a January 2026 inspection. The quality measure score looks strong, but that reflects charted care, not the hands available to deliver it.
York Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 240 beds in Philadelphia, and the numbers behind its record are worth sitting with. On a 1-to-5 federal scale, inspectors rate its health inspections and its staffing both at 1, while the quality measures, largely self-reported, come in at 4. The home carries 57 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 54.9%, nearly ten points above the national average. Three fines total $63,872, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025. This is a large, for-profit operation where the inspection and staffing record is the part you should weigh most heavily.
Maplewood runs 180 beds in Philadelphia under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.11 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 54.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing care keep changing while the hours per resident stay thin. The record shows 45 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus $76,483 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was August 28, 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. Quality measures score well, but that's a narrow slice of what families actually live with day to day.
The numbers for Immaculatemarycenter in Philadelphia tell a split story. Quality measures look good at 4 out of 5 stars, but staffing sits at 1 star, 3.40 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 58% a year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the harder part: 45 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with a 1-star health inspection rating and the most recent survey dated March 2026. For a 296-bed for-profit home, that combination, thin coverage, high turnover, and serious citations, is what a family should weigh before touring.
West Park runs 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, which is genuinely above the national average. But that average hides a lot: weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, and nearly 70% of staff turned over in the past year against a national rate under 46%. High turnover plus thin weekends is how a place with decent raw hours ends up with a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating. The inspection record is heavier still, 34 deficiencies, three serious enough to risk harm, one tied to abuse, and the most recent survey was in December 2025, so this isn't old history. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company.
Pennypack Rehab and Care Center is a 54-bed for-profit home in Philadelphia, and its inspection record is genuinely good, a 4/5 health inspection rating, last surveyed in May 2026, with 27 deficiencies on file but none at the harm or jeopardy level. The staffing picture is where it gets thin. At 3.15 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 18% below the national average, and weekends drop roughly 7% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 68.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which is a lot of churn for a building this size. Three abuse-related deficiencies also appear on the current record.
Chapel Manor runs 238 certified beds in Philadelphia under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8 percent below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is where the real concern lives: 69 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus three tied to abuse. Staff turnover at 43.4 percent is slightly better than the national figure, and one $17,192 fine is on file, with the most recent inspection done in December 2025.
Graduate Post Acute runs 150 beds in Philadelphia under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits around 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent below the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 9 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the real story: 84 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with $17,940 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover of 41.8 percent is slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the most recent inspection was December 2025. CMS rates the quality measures 5 out of 5 but health inspections just 1 out of 5, a split worth asking about directly.
Monumentalpostacutecare at Woodside Park is a 180-bed for-profit partnership in Philadelphia, and its inspection record is the first thing a family should see. Fifty deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, is a lot of documented trouble for one building. Staffing sits at the lowest federal tier while quality measures land mid-range, and two fines totaling $30,752 are on file. The last inspection was December 11, 2025, so the record is recent, not stale. If you're considering this home, ask directly about the abuse-related findings and how the current administrator has addressed them.
Willow Terrace runs 174 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 10 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 47.6 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning nearly half the nursing workforce turns over in a year. The inspection record carries 61 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with one fine of $9,113. A January 2025 inspection is recent, but the 1-star health inspection rating against a 4-star quality measure score suggests the care problems are real and documented, not just paperwork.
Fox Subacute At South Philadelphia runs on a nonprofit corporate structure and 53 certified beds, and its nurse staffing comes in at 5.71 hours per resident day, roughly 48% above the national average of 3.86. But the inspection record is where the story turns: 18 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus two abuse-related citations and a $12,735 fine. Weekend staffing drops about 10% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't necessarily what shows up on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 42.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the most recent inspection was February 2026.
Delaware Valley Veteran's Home is state-run and holds 171 certified beds, and its staffing numbers are its strongest asset: 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, with turnover at 29.6% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, so families should ask how that gap gets managed. The inspection record is where the picture dims. Twenty-two deficiencies are on file, three at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with a $10,036 fine and a survey completed in July 2025. Strong quality and staffing ratings sit alongside real regulatory findings, worth weighing carefully before deciding.
