Staff turnover

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.

St Martha Center runs on thin staffing relative to most homes nationally, about 13% below the average, and weekends get leaner still, dropping roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 48.1%, a couple points above the national figure. What keeps the record clean is inspection performance: ten deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a survey completed in January 2026. The quality measure and health inspection ratings both hit 5/5, while staffing lands at 2/5, which is the tension worth weighing. For-profit, LLC-owned, 120 beds. If you're considering this one, ask how the weekend floor actually gets covered.

Quality Life Services, Mercer runs 48 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, five deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, and a survey completed in June 2025. The quality measures back that up. Where the picture changes is staffing: 3.63 nurse hours per resident day sits about 6% under the national average, weekends run roughly 10% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover is 71.2% against a national 45.8%. That churn rate means aides and nurses are cycling through the building faster than most. Fewer familiar faces on weekends, more retraining. The care may well be fine, the survey history says it has been, but ask how they hold staffing steady when someone calls out.

Brinton Manor runs about 3.01 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 9% below its own weekday level. That thin staffing shows up in the government's staffing rating, while the inspection record, a 4 out of 5, with 16 deficiencies but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and a strong quality measure rating pull the other direction. Staff turnover sits at 50%, above the 45.8% national figure, at a for-profit LLC with 92 beds. The most recent inspection was in April 2025, and the record includes one abuse-related deficiency.

Concordia At Villa St Joseph runs 120 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 3.79 nurse hours per resident day, close to the national average of 3.86, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. Retention stands out too, 26.2% turnover against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stay. The trouble sits elsewhere. Inspectors have logged 42 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm level and 6 tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $31,788. Health inspection and quality ratings both sit at 2 out of 5, and the most recent survey was March 2026. Weekends also run about 9% thinner than weekdays. Ask about those abuse-related findings directly.

Jameson Nursing and Rehab Center sits at 78 certified beds in New Castle, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The inspection record is strong, four deficiencies on file, none rising to harm or jeopardy, and a recent survey from February 2026. Staffing tells a different story: 3.82 nurse hours per resident day lands just under the national average, weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 60.8% against a national 45.8%. That churn matters more than the one-percent staffing gap, since replacing six in ten caregivers a year makes consistent care hard to hold onto. One abuse-related deficiency is also on record. Ask how they keep weekend coverage and new-hire training steady.

Scranton Health Care Center runs 44 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage gets thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 37.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers are walking out the door than elsewhere. What pulls the record down is the inspection history. There are 26 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $12,570 fine. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is current.

Quakertown Center runs 138 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is 40.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the current record shows 20 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was March 18, 2026. Nothing here reads as dangerous, but the staffing gap and weekend slide are the numbers worth asking about directly.

Heritage Ridge runs a for-profit LLC operation with 90 certified beds in Philipsburg, and its staffing sits at 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average of 3.86. That edge is real but thin, and it narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 5% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover hits 50%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means the people at the bedside keep changing. On the inspection side, the record shows 30 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The most recent state visit was July 2025. Staffing and health inspection each earned 2 out of 5 stars from CMS; quality measures came in at 3.

Quality Life Services - Sarver runs 66 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the thing to look at first. At 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 9% thinner than its own weekdays. The bigger concern is turnover: 70.6% of staff leaving annually, against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people showing up for your family member are often still learning the building. Inspections in November 2025 turned up 37 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Ownership is for-profit and staffing earns two stars.

Transitions Healthcare North Huntingdon runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover is 51.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with three-out-of-five stars each for health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. Its last inspection was April 30, 2026. What you're looking at is a home that stays out of serious trouble but runs leaner on direct care than the typical facility, and cycles through staff faster.

Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing at Lakeside runs 31 certified beds in Dallas, Luzerne County, under for-profit partnership ownership. Staffing sits at 3.88 hours per resident day, essentially matching the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 6% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the bigger concern: 55% annually against a national rate of 45.8%, meaning more than half the staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. A 2/5 health inspection rating and a 2/5 quality measure rating, with the most recent inspection in September 2025, round out a picture that's worth asking hard questions about before deciding.

Transitions Healthcare Gettysburg runs 135 beds as a for-profit LLC, and the numbers tell a middling story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is 49.6%, nearly four points above the national figure, and the current record carries 25 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $16,334 in fines. The last inspection was November 2025. Three stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing put this home squarely in the middle.

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.

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.

The Manor at Penn Village runs 159 certified beds in Selinsgrove under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing hours come in around 9% under the national average, with weekends dropping another 9% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a 61.9% annual turnover rate against a national average of 45.8%, and CMS staffing and health inspection ratings both at 2 out of 5. What keeps this from being worse is the safety record, 66 deficiencies on file but none at harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, and a single fine of $3,145. The most recent inspection was in December 2025, so the picture is current.

Laureldale Skilled Nursing runs 198 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits around 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 31.8% is well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The current inspection record, though, carries 23 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus $16,036 in fines. The last inspection was July 2025, so the record is recent. Ask about weekend coverage and how those abuse-related findings were corrected.

Julia Ribaudo runs about 3.19 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 17 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7 percent below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover of 36.4 percent actually beats the national 45.8 percent, which suggests the staff who are there tend to stay. The 32 deficiencies on record include two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was recent, in August 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing is where this Lake Ariel home lags.

Lecom At Village Square runs about 110 beds as a nonprofit, and its most recent inspection wrapped up in December 2025, so the record is current. The staffing picture is where things get uneven: 3.72 nurse hours per resident day sits a bit under the national average, weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below its own weekdays, and staff turnover of 58.7% is well above the national 45.8%, that's a lot of new faces cycling through. On paper, the inspection history is decent, rated 4 out of 5 stars. But the current record carries 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $14,971. Quality and staffing measures both land mid-range. Ask about weekend coverage and how they keep experienced aides.

Embassy of Woodland Park runs 3.47 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about another 5% below its own weekday pace, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 29.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier aide and nurse workforce than most places. But the current record carries 51 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with the last inspection in December 2025. A single fine of $8,155 has been assessed. The staffing and inspection ratings both land at 2 out of 5; quality measures sit at 3. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically what changed since that inspection.
