Nursing homes across Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
The numbers at Mountain City start with the nursing hours: 3.35 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about a tenth thinner than weekdays, so coverage is weakest exactly when families tend to visit. Fifty-one deficiencies sit on the current record, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, six tied to abuse, plus a $171,403 fine. Turnover at 36.2% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which tells you the problem here isn't retention so much as how few hours each resident gets. State inspectors were last in on February 7, 2025.
Edenbrook On Second Ave runs 160 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is thin: 3.62 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 65.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents change often. The current record shows 43 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related citations, and the last inspection was in May 2026. CMS rates staffing and quality measures at 2 stars each and inspection results at 2, all below the midpoint. Families weighing this home should ask directly about weekend coverage and how the abuse citations were resolved.
