Here are 12 Nursing Homes in Northampton County, PA
Nursing homes across Northampton County, Pennsylvania, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Kirkland Village runs 4.71 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 22% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 31.9% against a national 45.8%, both numbers point to a home that keeps its people and staffs them well. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekday levels, and the current inspection record shows nine deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus a single $21,645 fine. The last inspection was August 2025. Nonprofit ownership and a recent survey are worth noting, but that one harm-level finding is the piece of the record that deserves your attention before you decide.
Moravian Hall Square runs 4.73 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 22% above the national figure of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in the federal stars: five out of five. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 40.7%, better than the 45.8% national average but still meaning four in ten caregivers left within a year. Inspections turned up 7 deficiencies, one serious enough to cite harm or jeopardy, with no abuse findings. The last state visit was March 2026, so the record is current.
Moravian Village of Bethlehem runs on 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent above the national average, and its weekend staffing holds within about 4 percent of weekday levels, a small dip that rarely means much. Staff turnover sits at 46.8 percent, a touch above the national figure of 45.8 percent, so retention is average rather than a strength. The record is otherwise clean: six deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection came in June 2025. As a nonprofit with 93 beds, it shows steady staffing and a recent, unremarkable survey history.
Country Meadows Nursing Center Of Bethlehem runs about 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 35.2 percent sits well under the 45.8 percent national figure, a meaningful edge in a field where constant retraining hurts care. Weekend staffing dips about 17 percent below weekday levels, so ask how weekends are covered. The inspection record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in July 2025. For-profit corporate ownership and 70 beds round out the picture; the numbers here lean favorable.
Gardens At Easton runs 181 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest thing going for it: a 4/5 health inspection rating, a survey as recent as May 2025, and ten deficiencies on file with none rising to harm or jeopardy. The staffing picture is more mixed, 3.45 nurse hours per resident day sits about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday coverage. What offsets that is retention: 29.3% turnover against a national average of 45.8% means the aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters more for daily care than a raw hours number. One abuse-related deficiency is worth asking about directly.
Northampton Post Acute runs lean on bedside staffing, 3.30 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage is the main thing pulling its numbers down. What offsets it: turnover sits at 31.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The home also scores 5/5 on CMS quality measures and 4/5 on health inspections, with 15 deficiencies on record and none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse. For-profit, LLC-owned, 180 beds, inspected in May 2026. The pattern is a well-run building stretched a bit thin on staff hours.
Holy Family Manor runs lean on direct care: 3.28 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly a quarter below its own weekday staffing. The tradeoff shows up in consistency, 39.5% annual turnover, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: six deficiencies on file, none involving harm or abuse, and a survey completed in July 2025, so the findings are recent rather than stale. As a church-affiliated nonprofit with 208 beds, it isn't chasing margin, and that shows up in a clean regulatory record even where daily coverage runs thin.
New Eastwood's inspection record is the strongest part of its story: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with just eight deficiencies on file, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and a September 2024 inspection date that's still reasonably fresh. Staffing tells a different story. At 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, the home runs about 10% under the national average, weekends dip another 7% below its own weekday numbers, and its 2-out-of-5 staffing rating reflects that. Turnover is the bright spot, 37.3% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses stick around longer than most places. Whether that stability offsets thinner daily coverage is the real question for your family.
Gardens For Memory Care At Easton runs 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday levels. That thinner weekend coverage matters more here than the raw number suggests, since this is a memory care population. Turnover sits at 41.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The 11 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was April 2026. Its quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 is the weakest piece of the picture, while staffing grades comparatively well. A for-profit LLC operates the 115-bed home.
Easton Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 227 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the weak spot: 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% below the national average, with weekends running about 11% thinner than weekdays. That puts the payroll at a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating, and turnover sits at 45.9%, essentially identical to the national average, so this isn't a retention crisis, just a lean floor. The stronger numbers are elsewhere: a 4-out-of-5 inspection rating with 20 deficiencies on record and none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and a 5-out-of-5 quality measure score. Last inspected December 9, 2025.
Slate Belt runs lean on nursing hours, 2.98 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 12% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover lands at 43.3%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, so the problem isn't retention so much as how many aides and nurses are on the floor at once. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, though the most recent inspection was January 2026 and the health inspection rating sits at 4 out of 5. Under a for-profit limited liability company, the pattern reads as a building that inspects well on paper while daily staffing stays well under what residents typically need.
Gracedale is a county-run home with 688 beds, and the numbers behind its record are worth understanding before you visit. Staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home provides on weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday looks different from a Tuesday. The inspection history is the bigger concern: 22 deficiencies on the current record, six at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and $122,572 in fines. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a pattern of serious problems. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating reflects that pattern, not a single bad day.
