All 10 Medicare-certified nursing homes in York,
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.
Misericordia runs on a nonprofit model with 50 beds in York, and the numbers mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 4.59 hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 10 percent below its own weekday levels, which is a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover is 31.1 percent against a national average near 46 percent, so caregivers are staying longer than is typical.
The inspection record is clean where it matters: five deficiencies total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the most recent survey was September 2025. Quality and staffing measures both rate at the top of CMS's scale.
Normandie Ridge runs about 4.17 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 8% above the national average, though weekends dip close to 10% below its own weekday staffing. Staff turnover sits at 32.8%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters over time, fewer unfamiliar faces at the bedside. The 16 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection came in September 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation is worth noting, since it tends to mean the budget isn't stretched to satisfy shareholders.
Margaret E. Moul Home runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home: 6.32 nurse hours per resident per day, about 64% more than the national average, and weekend coverage stays within roughly 13% of weekday levels. Turnover sits at 42.1%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The inspection record is clean where it counts, seven deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. Six fines totaling $15,382 is modest for a home this size. The tradeoff is quality measures landing mid-range at 3 out of 5 stars, so ask how the home is working on those outcomes.
Concordia At Spiritrust Sprenkle Drive runs about 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends drop another 7% below its own weekday coverage. That thinner weekend floor matters because the home's current record carries 19 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $24,670. Staff turnover sits at 47.9%, a bit above the 45.8% national average. The quality measure score is strong, but staffing and inspection results are middling, and the last full inspection came in November 2025.
York North Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 161 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average, and weekends dip another 9% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover of 50.3% tops the national rate of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The inspection record carries 54 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was in March 2026. Quality measures score well; the hands-on staffing and the inspection history are where the concerns live.
York South Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 142 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits around 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families often visit. Turnover is 37.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the weak spot here. The inspection record is: 55 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and a $15,593 fine, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections don't.
Rest Haven-York runs 159 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters because that's when families often visit and when problems tend to surface. The current inspection record carries 22 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related. CMS gave it 3 stars for health inspections and 3 for quality measures, while staffing earned just 1 star. The last inspection was February 5, 2026, so the picture is recent. A C grade reflects a home that isn't failing outright but has thin staffing where it counts.
Kingston Court runs 151 certified beds in York under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. Nurses provide 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 5 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 52.4 percent against a 45.8 percent national figure, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 56 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $91,960.
Yorkview runs 270 beds under limited-liability for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 2.90 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 48.3%, a few points above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is heavy: 65 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was May 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspections don't, and that gap is worth asking about directly.
Pleasant Acres is a 375-bed for-profit home in York, and the numbers that matter most here aren't good. State inspectors cited 41 deficiencies on the current record, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus three tied to abuse, and the fines total nearly $200,000. Staffing looks decent on paper at 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, but that's about 15% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Turnover sits at 47.2%, slightly worse than the national figure, so the people caring for residents are often new. The quality measure score is middling, but a one-star inspection record is what should weigh on your decision.
