How non-profit homes in Philadelphia, PA compare
This group set against every nursing home in Philadelphia, PA, from the current CMS release.
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.
Nazareth Hospital's transitional care unit runs 28 beds and staffs them at 5.96 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure of 3.86. That staffing edge is the main story here: turnover sits at 19 percent against a national average near 46, meaning the people caring for your family member tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 11 percent below weekdays, which is normal but worth asking about. The home carries 10 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection in March 2025. A nonprofit corporation operates it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
