Nursing homes across Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Dr Arthur Clifton Mckinley Ctr runs 90 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its strongest asset is retention: 19.7% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%. Staff tend to stay. The trade-off is raw coverage, 3.68 nurse hours per resident day sits about 5% under the national 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families visit. Thirteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related. Inspectors were last in on December 4, 2025, which is recent enough to trust the findings.
Mulberry Healthcare and Rehabilitation Cent runs lean on nursing hours: 2.76 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 29% below. Weekend coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 34.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some steadiness in the workforce despite the low hours.
The inspection record is where the concerns stack up: 46 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse and one at the harm level, plus a $24,042 fine. The most recent inspection was December 8, 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well on paper, but that sits alongside a for-profit corporate owner and staffing that never reaches average.
Staff turnover at Highland View sits at 55.6 percent a year, nearly ten points above the national average of 45.8 percent. That's a lot of churn for a 50-bed building, and it matters because aides who don't stay don't learn your mother's routine or catch the small changes that signal trouble. The inspection record is stronger than that number suggests: 7 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Last inspection was February 13, 2026. This for-profit corporate home earns 4 out of 5 stars on both health inspections and quality measures. Ask what the abuse deficiency involved and how long aides typically last.
Penn Highlands Jefferson Manor runs 160 beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing picture is genuinely solid on paper, 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, a hair above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating and turnover at 39.4% versus 45.8% nationally. But weekends run about 7% leaner than weekdays, and the inspection record is where things get harder to explain: 23 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, across two fines totaling $15,160. That combination, good staffing numbers sitting alongside serious inspection findings, is why the health inspection rating lands at 2 out of 5. The most recent survey was December 2025, so the picture is current.
