Our read on Robert Packer Hospital Skilled Care And Rehabilit

Robert Packer Hospital Skilled Care and Rehab runs 68 certified beds in Towanda under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing record is the strongest part of the story: turnover sits at 23% against a national average near 46%, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. That stability comes with a caveat, weekend coverage drops roughly 30% below weekday levels, and total nurse time lands just under the national figure. The inspection record is thinner than you'd want: 18 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse and one at the harm level, plus a $33,027 fine, with the most recent survey in January 2026.
