Our read on Lutheran Home At Hollidaysburg

Lutheran Home At Hollidaysburg runs a church-affiliated nonprofit with 89 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, though weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing earns 4 stars from CMS, but the inspection record tells a different story: 39 deficiencies on file, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $101,905. Staff turnover runs 48.2%, a bit above the national 45.8%. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the record is current. Quality measures score 4 stars; health inspections score 2. Ask about those harm-level and abuse deficiencies specifically.
