Our read on Quality Life Services - Markleysburg

Quality Life Services - Markleysburg runs 60 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.52 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 3% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover is 54.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are cycling out faster than usual. The 26 deficiencies on the current record, including 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, is a lot for a home this size, and the 2/5 inspection and staffing stars reflect it; the 4/5 quality measure score is the one bright spot. A recent July 2025 inspection means the record is current.
