Nurse staff turnover runs 46.7%, 2.2 points higher than the 44.5% across all homes there. Willowbrooke Court Skilled Care Center At Brittany in Lansdale grades highest at A (99 out of 100).
How chain-owned homes in Pennsylvania compare
This group set against every nursing home in Pennsylvania, from the current CMS release.
Kittanning Health & Rehab Center runs 97 deficiencies on its current record, 13 of them abuse-related and three serious enough to put residents in harm's way. Staffing sits at 3.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 12% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Turnover is the figure that stands out: 62.6% of nursing staff leaving annually against a national average of 45.8%, so nearly two-thirds of the people providing daily care are new each year. The one bright spot is the 5/5 quality measure rating, but that reflects charted clinical outcomes, not the inspection record or the hands available at the bedside.
Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing At Pottstown is a 41-bed for-profit home, and the numbers that stand out most are the 34 deficiencies on its current record, four of those at the harm or jeopardy level, plus one abuse-related. That inspection history, not the quality measure score, is what drags its standing down. Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, about 12 percent under the national average, and weekends run roughly 4 percent leaner than weekdays. Three fines totaling $128,618 round out the picture. A recent inspection date doesn't erase a record like that. If you're considering this home, ask directly how they've addressed the harm-level findings and what weekend coverage actually looks like on the floor.
Eldercrest runs 48 beds in Munhall under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.6% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, which usually means less continuity for residents. The inspection record shows 36 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and seven tied to abuse, plus one fine of $18,962. Last inspection was November 2025. The quality measure stars look strong, but staffing and health inspection stars both sit at 2 out of 5, and that gap is worth asking about directly.
Aristacare At Meadow Springs has 153 beds and enough nurses on paper, 4.64 hours per resident day, about a fifth above the national average. The trouble is what inspections keep finding: 40 deficiencies on the current record, three of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in immediate jeopardy, and three tied to abuse. The health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, and staffing drops roughly 7% on weekends, when supervision is already thinner. Staff turnover of 42.5% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, which helps, but it doesn't offset that inspection history. One fine of $17,664 rounds out the record. If you're considering this home, ask directly how those abuse and harm findings were resolved.
Mountain View runs 271 certified beds in Coal Township under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.82 nurse hours per resident day. That small gap matters less than the pattern around it: weekends drop about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 49%, well above the 45.8% national figure.
The inspection record is the real concern here. Seventy-nine deficiencies are on file, including four at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and seven tied to abuse. Two fines total $24,854. The last inspection was May 2026, so the record is current, not stale. With a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, the compliance history is what separates this home from others with similar staffing.
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.
Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing At Greenville runs 154 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing. At 3.17 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 18% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover lands at 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people around your relative change often.
The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $21,645 fine. A June 2025 inspection is recent, which is the one favorable detail. The 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating tell you where the trouble concentrates, even though the quality measure score of 3 suggests some care processes track adequately on paper.
If you're considering this home, ask directly about weekday versus weekend coverage and how they're addressing turnover.
Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing At New Wilmington runs 115 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with nine deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level. One abuse-related citation is there, though, and worth asking about directly. Staffing is where it slips: 3.42 nurse hours per resident day sits about 11% under the national average, weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, and turnover hits 52.3% against 45.8% nationally. With quality measures at 2 out of 5, the pattern is a home that inspects cleanly but may struggle to keep consistent hands on deck.
Walnut Creek Nursing and Rehab runs 115 certified beds in Erie under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers land in the middle across the board, 3 out of 5 stars each for health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. Nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident per day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when oversight tends to be lightest. Turnover at 43% is slightly better than the national 45.8%. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2026.
The Gardens at West Shore is a 309-bed for-profit home in Camp Hill, and the numbers tell a split story. Its inspection record is the real problem: 58 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, which is a lot for one building to carry. Staffing sits at 3.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover at 36.6% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was recent, in August 2025. Read the inspection history closely before deciding.
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.
Greenfield runs on 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 9 percent below what the home staffs Monday through Friday. Annual turnover sits at 50 percent, higher than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people providing that already-thin care are cycling out regularly. The inspection record is the harder problem: 56 deficiencies, three tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in harm's way. Federal inspectors last visited in January 2026 and rated health inspections and quality measures at one star each. A for-profit limited liability company owns the place, and the pattern across staffing, turnover, and enforcement history is consistent rather than isolated.
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.
Chestnut Hill Lodge runs 181 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers show a building stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends drop about 6% below what the home manages on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit and when backup is hardest to find. Staff turnover is 53.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing workforce turns over in a year. The inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with a CMS health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 and quality measures at 1 out of 5.
Edenbrook Of Yeadon runs 190 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is thinner than it looks at first glance. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover at 41% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 55 deficiencies on file, four at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $34,298, with the most recent inspection in May 2025.
Newport Meadows runs a for-profit operation with 139 beds, and the numbers show a building leaning on a thin nursing floor. At 3.19 nurse hours per resident day, staffing sits about 17% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 5% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover of 40.2% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the problem here, hours are. Inspections from September 2025 turned up 26 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, drawing five fines totaling $42,912. No abuse citations appear on the current record, which matters. Still, a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating paired with that deficiency history is what pushes this one toward the bottom.
Laurel Center runs 130 beds in Hamburg under corporate ownership, and the staffing picture is the first thing to notice: 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, with weekends dipping roughly 7% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 34.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the issue isn't churn so much as how many hands are on deck at any given time. The inspection record shows 9 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 1 tied to abuse, from a September 2024 survey. Quality measures score high; staffing and health inspection results don't.
Glen Brook runs 240 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 52% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents are both fewer than average and changing often. The inspection record is the harder read: 51 deficiencies currently on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, plus a $260,715 fine. The last inspection was February 2026. Quality measures score well, but that number doesn't offset a thin, churning floor staff.
Heritage Ridge is a for-profit LLC home with 63 certified beds in Johnstown, and its state inspection record is the part that should worry you most. CMS has tagged the current record with 68 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, a pattern serious enough to pull the health inspection rating down to 1 out of 5 stars. Its last inspection, on January 14, 2026, found the home again without clearing that history. Staffing is the better news: 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, with weekends roughly 2% thinner than weekdays, though turnover at 41.4% does beat the 45.8% national figure. The clinical quality measures sit at 3 stars. Given the inspection record, ask to see the last two years of state survey reports and the abuse-related plans of correction before you decide anything.
Camp Hill Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 123 beds as a for-profit corporate home, and its nurse staffing sits around 3.46 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, with weekends about 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover lands at 41.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the heavier issue: 39 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated February 2026. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results pull the overall picture down. Worth asking about weekend coverage and how those harm-level findings were resolved before deciding.
