Nursing homes across Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Harmony Hills runs a 55-bed for-profit home in Wexford with nurse staffing at 4.05 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, which is the strongest number on its record. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 6% below its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 56.1% against a national 45.8%, more than half the workforce turning over in a year. Inspections in July 2025 turned up 29 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, but the health inspection and quality measure ratings both landed at 2 out of 5. The staffing holds up; the clinical and compliance side is where the gaps show.
Perry Health & Rehab Center is a 182-bed for-profit home in Wexford, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 6% below the national average, and weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.7% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is heavier still: 116 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse. Last inspected in December 2025, with $18,223 in fines.
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.
Vincentian Home runs on a solid staffing base: 4.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday levels, and turnover sits at 40.2%, better than average, but still a lot of caregivers cycling through. The bigger issue is the record itself: 33 deficiencies, including 6 tied to abuse, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. None were flagged at harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the findings are current. Nonprofit ownership and steady nurse hours help; the inspection history is what pulls this one down.
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.
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.
The Reformed Presbyterian Home runs on about 3.97 nurse hours per resident per day, a bit above the national average, and its staff turnover of 36.7% is noticeably better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Those are real strengths, and they're why staffing earns top marks. The trouble sits on the other side of the ledger: 40 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Weekend coverage also dips about 8% below its own weekday staffing. This is a nonprofit home where the care hours and retention look solid, but the inspection history is heavy enough that you'd want to read the actual reports and ask questions before deciding.
John J. Kane Regional Center-Ro runs 240 beds under Allegheny County's ownership, and its inspection record is the hardest thing to get past: 66 deficiencies on file, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $90,344 sit alongside that history. Staffing hours come in around 3.59 per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and turnover runs at 61.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning well over half the nursing staff leaves each year. Weekend coverage actually runs slightly above its own weekday level, which is unusual. The county's most recent inspection closed in April 2025.
John J. Kane Regional Center-Sc runs 311 certified beds as a county-owned home in Pittsburgh, and the staffing numbers sit roughly 9% under the national average at 3.52 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday coverage, while turnover at 44.3% actually edges slightly under the national rate. What stands out is the inspection record: 12 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in September 2024. The quality measure stars look strong, but that inspection history is the piece worth asking about directly.
The Kane Regional Center's Glen Hazel campus runs on thin nurse coverage: 2.82 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday level. That gap shows up in the staffing rating, which sits down with the inspection and quality ratings. Inspectors cited 18 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Staff turnover of 56.3% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, so residents see a lot of new faces. Allegheny County owns and operates it, and the last state survey was in June 2025.
Willows of Presbyterian Senior has 193 certified beds and solid nurse staffing on paper, 3.88 hours per resident day, essentially matching the national average, with a 4-star staffing rating. But that coverage thins on weekends, dropping roughly 11% below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 45.5%. The real problem is the inspection record: 56 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $132,149. A 1-star health inspection rating against a 3-star quality measure score tells you the care concerns here aren't about numbers on a page, they're about what surveyors actually found.
Riverside Health & Rehab Center runs 119 certified beds in Mckeesport, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd want you to see. Nurses provide 3.42 hours per resident per day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 7 percent below the home's own weekday levels. That means the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 56.5 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with $35,138 in fines and a January 2026 inspection. Ask about weekend nurse coverage and how they screen staff before you decide.
South Hills Post Acute runs on thin staffing. At 3.18 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 18 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 10 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover tells a related story: 63.4 percent of nursing staff leaving annually against a 45.8 percent national figure, which means the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The inspection record is genuinely decent, 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a recent survey, but good surveys don't staff a night shift. For-profit LLC ownership, 160 beds, and a staffing picture that's the clear weak point here.
Highland Hills Post Acute runs 200 certified beds in Pittsburgh under for-profit LLC ownership, and its current record carries 99 deficiencies, two at the harm or jeopardy level and 15 tied to abuse. That volume of citations, with those categories in the mix, is the kind of pattern families ask about directly, and it's worth asking the administrator to walk you through each one. Staffing sits at 3.19 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 11% thinner than weekdays, and turnover at 48.5%. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the picture is current. Two fines total $27,709.
Monroeville Post Acute runs 131 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average, with weekends about 7 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 53.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, which means the people showing up are often new to the building. The current inspection record carries 80 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with $49,558 in fines across two penalties and a survey as recent as November 2025.
Little Sisters Of The Poor runs a tight ship on the staffing side, 5.26 nurse hours per resident day beats the national average by more than a third, weekend coverage holds up reasonably well, and turnover at 32.8% is well below the typical 45.8%. That's genuinely hard to find. The trouble is everything else. Forty-six deficiencies sit on the current record, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and the inspection history has drawn four fines totaling $59,057. The most recent state visit was January 22, 2026, so the record is current, not stale. Strong hours per resident don't mean much when the survey record shows this many repeated problems.
Southwestern Veterans Center has real strengths on paper. Its 4.27 nurse staffing hours per resident day beats the national average by about 11%, and that shows up in a five-star staffing rating. But weekends run roughly 13% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. The trouble sits elsewhere: 36 deficiencies on the current record, including three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $245,564 fine. Staff turnover matches the national rate at 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year. Quality measures look strong at four stars, but a two-star inspection record is what's dragging this home's overall standing down.
Platinum Ridge runs 3.31 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Its inspection record is the bigger concern: 79 deficiencies, five of them at the harm or jeopardy level, 11 abuse-related, and $97,450 in fines across four penalties, all under for-profit LLC ownership. Turnover sits at 46.3%, roughly in line with the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year. A June 2025 inspection is recent, but the pattern in the numbers predates it.
Meadowcrest is a 50-bed for-profit in Bethel Park, and the inspection record is where the trouble sits: 42 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. A one-star health inspection rating backs that up. The last inspection was in March 2026, so the file is recent rather than stale. Staffing isn't the headline problem, 3.76 nurse hours per resident day is only about 3% under the national average, though weekends run roughly 7% thinner than weekdays, and turnover at 46.5% sits just above the national figure. The quality measure rating, 3 out of 5, suggests some clinical care is being tracked well despite the citations.
Rose Meadows runs about 200 certified beds in Pittsburgh under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.60 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 56.1% while the national figure is 45.8%, so the people around your family member change often. The inspection record is heavier still, 31 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with a single fine of $274,651. The quality measure score is strong, but that reflects charted care, not the conditions a state surveyor last documented in December 2025.
