All 4 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Gettysburg,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Concordia At Spiritrust Gettysburg runs about 4.11 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 6% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 35.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers are walking out the door here than at the typical home. Weekend staffing dips about 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The 17 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 30, 2026. For a 60-bed nonprofit, the numbers describe steady, well-staffed care rather than anything flashy.
Transitions Healthcare Gettysburg runs 135 beds as a for-profit LLC, and the numbers tell a middling story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is 49.6%, nearly four points above the national figure, and the current record carries 25 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $16,334 in fines. The last inspection was November 2025. Three stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing put this home squarely in the middle.
The Gardens at Gettysburg runs about 3.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 5% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at 2 out of 5, and in turnover: 56.8% of staff left over the year, against a national norm of 45.8%, so aides and nurses are cycling through faster than residents can get to know them. Inspections are a different story. The home was last surveyed in May 2025 and holds a 4/5 health inspection rating, with 27 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. It's a for-profit corporation with 102 beds.
Gettysburg Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, and that gap shows up on weekends when coverage drops another 8 percent below its own weekday level. The 34 deficiencies on record, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, point to problems that go beyond paperwork. Annual turnover sits at 52.7 percent, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, which makes consistent care hard to sustain. A for-profit corporation operates the 118-bed building, and its most recent inspection was in March 2026.
