Nursing homes across Cambria County, Pennsylvania, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Conemaugh Memorial's TCU runs a genuinely unusual staffing level for a nursing home, about 5.99 nurse hours per resident day, well clear of the national average, and its inspection and quality scores both sit at the top of CMS's five-star scale. The record is clean where it counts: five deficiencies, none causing harm, nothing abuse-related, and a recent inspection. The catch is the workforce itself. Every position turns over roughly once a year, more than double the national rate, and weekend coverage drops off noticeably from weekday levels. Those two facts don't cancel out the strong numbers, but they tell you the care you see on a Tuesday may not be the care you see on a Saturday.
Maple Winds runs 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and its quality measure rating sits at the top of the scale. The catch is who's delivering that care and how consistently. Annual staff turnover is 62.9% against a national average of 45.8%, and weekend staffing drops about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday may not be what shows up on a Sunday. The health inspection side is weaker than the quality scores suggest: 62 deficiencies on the current record, three tied to abuse, with the last inspection dated May 2026 at a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. For-profit, limited liability ownership. Ask about weekend coverage and how they hold onto aides.
Concordia At Arbutus Park runs 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 8% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 46.4%, roughly matching the national figure, so this isn't a retention crisis, it's a coverage question. The current inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with $16,800 in fines across three events. A 3/5 health inspection rating against 4/5 marks for quality measures and staffing tells you the care model looks better on paper than the surveyor's clipboard. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the record is current.
Quality Life Services - Westmont runs 41 beds in Johnstown under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, with weekends about 13% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover of 38.2% actually beats the national 45.8%, so the people who stay tend to stay, even if there aren't quite enough of them. The record shows 31 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though four are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Inspectors were last on site in March 2026. All three CMS star ratings land at 3 out of 5.
Richland Nursing and Rehab runs about 3.58 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters most for a 97-bed home, since that's when families often visit and when fewer eyes are on residents. Turnover sits at 43.2%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staffing picture isn't a retention crisis, it's a coverage one. The current record shows 36 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated January 30, 2026. State surveyors rated health inspections and quality measures at 3 out of 5 stars each, but staffing came in at 2.
Haida Nursing and Rehab runs 98 certified beds in Hastings under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 5% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is 35.8%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem here isn't retention so much as how thin the floor gets. The inspection record is where things get serious: 37 deficiencies on file, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $32,711 fine. The most recent inspection was December 2025.
Heritage Ridge is a for-profit LLC home with 63 certified beds in Johnstown, and its state inspection record is the part that should worry you most. CMS has tagged the current record with 68 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, a pattern serious enough to pull the health inspection rating down to 1 out of 5 stars. Its last inspection, on January 14, 2026, found the home again without clearing that history. Staffing is the better news: 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, with weekends roughly 2% thinner than weekdays, though turnover at 41.4% does beat the 45.8% national figure. The clinical quality measures sit at 3 stars. Given the inspection record, ask to see the last two years of state survey reports and the abuse-related plans of correction before you decide anything.
Hilltop Heights runs lean on nursing staff, 3.30 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 13% below its own weekday levels. That gap matters most when families visit on Saturdays and Sundays and find fewer hands on deck. Annual turnover sits at 56.2%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, which makes consistent care hard to build. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 76 deficiencies on file, including one abuse-related finding, and the most recent state visit was January 8, 2026. Corporate ownership and a one-star inspection rating round out a picture of a home that needs close watching before you sign anything.
Maple Heights runs 301 beds in Ebensburg, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.25 hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 8 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays. Staff turnover is 50.4 percent, so half the people caring for residents in a given year are gone by the next. On inspections, CMS has cited 115 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 10 tied to abuse; three fines total $76,416, and the home sits in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes. The most recent inspection was November 2025.
