How non-profit Medicaid-certified homes in Pennsylvania compare
This group set against every nursing home in Pennsylvania, from the current CMS release.
Meadows Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 130 certified beds in Luzerne County under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. At 3.80 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage. Where it stands out is retention: 30.2% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure by a wide margin, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection record is the harder part to swallow, 24 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus a $52,135 fine, with the most recent inspection in July 2025.
Penn Highlands Jefferson Manor runs 160 beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing picture is genuinely solid on paper, 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, a hair above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating and turnover at 39.4% versus 45.8% nationally. But weekends run about 7% leaner than weekdays, and the inspection record is where things get harder to explain: 23 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, across two fines totaling $15,160. That combination, good staffing numbers sitting alongside serious inspection findings, is why the health inspection rating lands at 2 out of 5. The most recent survey was December 2025, so the picture is current.
Southmont of Presbyterian Seniorcare runs 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just barely above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 34.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The trouble is inspections: 14 deficiencies on record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with one fine of $8,824. That inspection history is what drags the overall picture down, despite solid staffing numbers and a recent survey date of May 2026.
Willows of Presbyterian Senior has 193 certified beds and solid nurse staffing on paper, 3.88 hours per resident day, essentially matching the national average, with a 4-star staffing rating. But that coverage thins on weekends, dropping roughly 11% below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 45.5%. The real problem is the inspection record: 56 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $132,149. A 1-star health inspection rating against a 3-star quality measure score tells you the care concerns here aren't about numbers on a page, they're about what surveyors actually found.
Emmanuel Center For Nursing runs about 4.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday level. That staffing cushion hasn't translated into a clean inspection record: 42 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, which is the kind of finding families should ask about directly. The last inspection was recent, December 2024, so the picture is current rather than stale. Quality measures score well, inspections don't, and this church-affiliated nonprofit sits somewhere in between, decent hands-on care, a paper trail worth reading closely before you decide.
Lebanon Valley Home runs a tight ship on the numbers that matter most. Nurses deliver 4.68 hours of care per resident each day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips below weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 17.7 percent, well under half the national rate, which means the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The inspection record backs it up: two deficiencies total, none causing harm and none tied to abuse, with the most recent state visit in September 2025. As a nonprofit, it isn't answerable to shareholders. The care hours are there, the staff are stable, and the record is clean.
Valley View runs on a nonprofit model with 163 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, with a 5-star staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 26.7% against a national average of 45.8%, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces month to month. The tradeoffs are elsewhere, 34 deficiencies on record including 5 abuse-related, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and weekend staffing dips roughly 10% below weekday levels. One fine totaling $11,788 and an April 2026 inspection round out a record that's solid but not spotless.
Westminster Woods At Huntingdo runs 64 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.69 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 6% lighter than its own weekdays. Turnover is 38.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are likelier to stay. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: 25 deficiencies on record, 4 of them abuse-related, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was recent. The two CMS ratings that matter most to families, health inspections and quality measures, both land at 2 out of 5.
Redstone Highlands has the staff most families are looking for, 4.59 nurse hours per resident day, well above average, and turnover at 42.4% actually beats the national figure. But staffing is only one part of the picture, and the rest is troubling. The current inspection record shows 45 deficiencies, including 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, plus six fines totaling $67,296. That inspection history is why the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5. Weekend coverage runs about 13% thinner than weekdays, so the strong weekday numbers don't hold steady across the week.
Little Sisters Of The Poor runs a tight ship on the staffing side, 5.26 nurse hours per resident day beats the national average by more than a third, weekend coverage holds up reasonably well, and turnover at 32.8% is well below the typical 45.8%. That's genuinely hard to find. The trouble is everything else. Forty-six deficiencies sit on the current record, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and the inspection history has drawn four fines totaling $59,057. The most recent state visit was January 22, 2026, so the record is current, not stale. Strong hours per resident don't mean much when the survey record shows this many repeated problems.
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.
Dubois Nursing Home runs 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, about 12 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14 percent below its own weekday staffing. Annual turnover sits at 57.9 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people providing care keep changing. The inspection record is where things get serious: 49 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $17,225 and a survey date of April 30, 2026. CMS gives this home one star each for health inspections and quality measures, three for staffing. The nonprofit ownership doesn't offset what the numbers show.
McMurray Hills runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, about 3.29 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends drop another 15% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 67.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. Inspectors cited 17 deficiencies on the current record, three tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy; the most recent visit was December 6, 2024. The nonprofit ownership doesn't offset what the numbers show on staffing and quality measures, both rated 2 out of 5.
Lecom At Presque Isle runs 135 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, a bit under the 3.86 national average, but the bigger issue is consistency. Weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 53.5% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, so the faces around residents change more often than they should. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. A January 2026 inspection keeps the record recent, and its quality measure score is the weakest of its federal ratings.
The numbers that stand out at Linwood aren't the inspection score, it's the staffing. A one-out-of-five staffing rating at a 102-bed nonprofit in Scranton means the people providing daily care are spread thin by federal standards, and that's the thing families feel first. The inspection record backs it up: 59 deficiencies, including five tied to abuse and three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus a recent inspection in March 2026 with a $113,348 fine on the books. Quality measures land at a middling three, but good clinical numbers can't carry a building when there aren't enough hands on the floor. Ask about direct-care hours per resident per day, and ask what changed after that last survey.
Wayne Woodlands Manor runs 117 beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing lands at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average, not above it in any meaningful way. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 59.5% against a national 45.8%, so nearly six in ten staff left over the year. The inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, three serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy and ten tied to abuse; one fine of $57,330 is on file, with the most recent inspection dated May 2026. Quality measures score 1 out of 5, the weakest area here.
Cranberry Place runs 150 certified beds in Butler County under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, about 3.90 hours per resident day. The problem is who's left on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 15% below its own weekday level, and how fast the staff turns over: 66.3% annually against a national 45.8%. That churn shows up in the inspection record, where 87 deficiencies include 9 abuse-related citations and 6 at the harm or jeopardy level, drawing two fines totaling $42,774. The most recent inspection was January 31, 2026, so the record is current. Families weighing this home should ask specifically how weekend coverage and staff retention are being addressed.
Elan Skilled Nursing and Rehab runs 145 certified beds in Scranton under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing is genuinely a strength, 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average. The catch is that weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Turnover sits at 46.8%, essentially the national rate. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 31 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $19,105 fine. That's a lot of findings against a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, even with a recent November 2025 inspection. Ask about weekend staffing and how the abuse-related citations were resolved.
Independence Rehab and Nursing is a 255-bed nonprofit home in Philadelphia, and the numbers on its record are hard to get past. State inspectors cited 61 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and six tied to abuse, with five fines totaling $353,465. Staffing sits around 3.35 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends run even leaner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 54.3%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The most recent inspection was in December 2025. If you're considering this home, ask directly how they plan to fix the abuse-related findings and what keeps staff from walking out the door.
