All 26 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Pittsburgh,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Upmc Magee-Womens Hospital Tcu runs just 20 certified beds, which tends to mean staff actually know the residents. The numbers back that up: 6.41 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 66% above the national average, and a 25.8% turnover rate that's well below the 45.8% national figure. Weekend staffing dips about 7% from weekday levels, a modest drop rather than a cliff. Ten deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in late 2025. As a nonprofit, it answers to a mission rather than shareholders.
Concordia Of The South Hills runs on a nonprofit model with 46 certified beds in Pittsburgh, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 4.55 nurse hours per resident per day, well above the 3.86 national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10% from its own weekday level, which is common but worth knowing if you're visiting or calling on a Saturday. Staff turnover sits at 37.5%, below the 45.8% national rate, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Its inspection record shows four deficiencies total, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026.
Providence Point is a small nonprofit home in Pittsburgh, 42 beds, and its staffing is the headline: 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star. Turnover is the other standout at 17.1%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekends dip only about 3% below weekday coverage, which is a narrow gap. What pulls the record down is inspection history: 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $13,575 fine. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so that record is current. Strong staffing, mixed oversight.
Asbury Health Center runs a bit above the national average for nurse staffing, 3.92 hours per resident day against 3.86, and its 42.8% turnover is slightly better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekends are thinner, though, with roughly 10% less coverage than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays.
The 23 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was in June 2025. This is a nonprofit with a solid staffing score and a middle-of-the-road inspection history, steady, not spotless.
Friendship Village of South Hills runs 89 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 50% against a national figure of 45.8%, so the same faces aren't always there. The current record shows 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was December 2, 2025, so the picture is recent. Quality and staffing measures both rate 4 out of 5, while inspections come in at 3.
Wecare at Mt Lebanon runs 121 certified beds in Pittsburgh under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families often visit. The health inspection record carries 64 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. Its quality measure stars look strong at 5 out of 5, but that score reflects resident assessment data, not the inspection findings or the floor coverage. The staffing star sits at 2 out of 5. Ask about weekend nurse coverage and how the abuse-related deficiencies were resolved before deciding.
East End Health & Rehab runs 144 certified beds in Pittsburgh, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd look at. Nurses provide 3.47 hours per resident per day, about 10 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 8 percent below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 58.4 percent against a national average of 45.8, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, though the health inspection rating is 2 out of 5. The quality measure rating is 5 out of 5.
The numbers split sharply at Whitehall Borough Post Acute. The quality measures that Medicare tracks, things like pressure sores and functional decline, score at the top of the range, but the record that matters most for day-to-day safety doesn't match: a 1-star health inspection rating, 33 deficiencies on file, including one that caused actual harm and four tied to abuse. Nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, with weekends running thinner still and turnover at 50.3%, above the norm. At 166 beds under limited-liability ownership, that combination of thin coverage and a flagged inspection history is what a C really reflects here.
Vincentian Home runs on a solid staffing base: 4.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday levels, and turnover sits at 40.2%, better than average, but still a lot of caregivers cycling through. The bigger issue is the record itself: 33 deficiencies, including 6 tied to abuse, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. None were flagged at harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the findings are current. Nonprofit ownership and steady nurse hours help; the inspection history is what pulls this one down.
Canterbury Place runs a solid nursing floor on paper: 3.96 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national figure, and turnover at 41.6% is better than average. What drags it down is the inspection record. Forty-two deficiencies is a lot, including five tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5. Quality measures come in at 1 out of 5, the weakest bucket. Staffing also dips about 11% on weekends, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't what a Saturday looks like. The last state visit was January 2026. Ask to see the plan of correction before you tour.
Ivy Park Post Acute is a 150-bed for-profit in Pittsburgh, and the numbers split in ways families should look at closely. Nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, with weekends running about 7% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover at 60.3% against a national 45.8%. The health inspection record shows 95 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $14,069 and a most recent inspection dated June 27, 2025. Its quality measure score is perfect while its inspection and staffing scores sit at the bottom. The gap between that quality number and the staffing reality is the thing to ask about on a tour.
The Reformed Presbyterian Home runs on about 3.97 nurse hours per resident per day, a bit above the national average, and its staff turnover of 36.7% is noticeably better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Those are real strengths, and they're why staffing earns top marks. The trouble sits on the other side of the ledger: 40 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Weekend coverage also dips about 8% below its own weekday staffing. This is a nonprofit home where the care hours and retention look solid, but the inspection history is heavy enough that you'd want to read the actual reports and ask questions before deciding.
John J. Kane Regional Center-Ro runs 240 beds under Allegheny County's ownership, and its inspection record is the hardest thing to get past: 66 deficiencies on file, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $90,344 sit alongside that history. Staffing hours come in around 3.59 per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and turnover runs at 61.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning well over half the nursing staff leaves each year. Weekend coverage actually runs slightly above its own weekday level, which is unusual. The county's most recent inspection closed in April 2025.
John J. Kane Regional Center-Sc runs 311 certified beds as a county-owned home in Pittsburgh, and the staffing numbers sit roughly 9% under the national average at 3.52 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday coverage, while turnover at 44.3% actually edges slightly under the national rate. What stands out is the inspection record: 12 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in September 2024. The quality measure stars look strong, but that inspection history is the piece worth asking about directly.
The Kane Regional Center's Glen Hazel campus runs on thin nurse coverage: 2.82 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday level. That gap shows up in the staffing rating, which sits down with the inspection and quality ratings. Inspectors cited 18 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Staff turnover of 56.3% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, so residents see a lot of new faces. Allegheny County owns and operates it, and the last state survey was in June 2025.
Highland Hills Post Acute runs 200 certified beds in Pittsburgh under for-profit LLC ownership, and its current record carries 99 deficiencies, two at the harm or jeopardy level and 15 tied to abuse. That volume of citations, with those categories in the mix, is the kind of pattern families ask about directly, and it's worth asking the administrator to walk you through each one. Staffing sits at 3.19 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 11% thinner than weekdays, and turnover at 48.5%. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the picture is current. Two fines total $27,709.
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.
Southwestern Veterans Center has real strengths on paper. Its 4.27 nurse staffing hours per resident day beats the national average by about 11%, and that shows up in a five-star staffing rating. But weekends run roughly 13% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. The trouble sits elsewhere: 36 deficiencies on the current record, including three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $245,564 fine. Staff turnover matches the national rate at 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year. Quality measures look strong at four stars, but a two-star inspection record is what's dragging this home's overall standing down.
Rose Meadows runs about 200 certified beds in Pittsburgh under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.60 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 56.1% while the national figure is 45.8%, so the people around your family member change often. The inspection record is heavier still, 31 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with a single fine of $274,651. The quality measure score is strong, but that reflects charted care, not the conditions a state surveyor last documented in December 2025.
Carnegie Park Post Acute runs 180 beds in Pittsburgh under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 10 percent thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover hits 65.6 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related, and the last inspection was in March 2026. A single $10,419 fine and a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating round out the picture.
