Accela Rehab and Care Center at Springfield, a for-profit LLC home with 129 certified beds in Glenside, runs on thin staffing. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident day it sits roughly 11 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 11 percent below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover tells its own story: 79.6 percent of staff leaving annually, against a national 45.8 percent average. The inspection record is where the numbers get heavy: 114 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, six abuse-related, and seven fines adding up to $69,735. Staffing rates 2 out of 5 stars and health inspections just 1.
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.
Belle Terrace runs on 3.11 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 19 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6 percent below what the home staffs during the week. The bigger number is turnover: 71.2 percent of staff leave in a year, against a national average of 45.8 percent. That churn shows up on the inspection record too, 25 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. A for-profit LLC operates the 59-bed home, and its last inspection was December 5, 2025. Federal inspectors rated staffing 2 out of 5 stars, health inspections and quality measures 3 each.
Meadows Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 130 certified beds in Luzerne County under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. At 3.80 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage. Where it stands out is retention: 30.2% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure by a wide margin, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection record is the harder part to swallow, 24 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus a $52,135 fine, with the most recent inspection in July 2025.
Mount Carmel Senior Living Community runs about 3.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips another 9% below its own weekdays. That thin staffing shows in the CMS staffing rating of 1 out of 5, and turnover sits at 46.9%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is heavy: 51 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, with one fine of $24,700 and a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5. The most recent inspection was July 2025. Quality measures score a middling 3 out of 5, but staffing and inspections are where the problems concentrate at this for-profit LLC.
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.
Rouse Warren County Home sits in Youngsville, and it's owned by the county, which tends to mean slower change and steadier budgets than a for-profit chain. The staffing numbers are genuinely good, 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, but weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your relative gets on a Saturday may not match what they get on a Tuesday. Turnover of 48.4% is slightly worse than the national average, meaning familiar faces cycle out faster than you'd hope. The current inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including two at harm level and one abuse-related, with a $22,967 fine.
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.
Marywood Heights sits in Scranton with 72 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average, though weekends run about 6% thinner than weekdays. Turnover lands at 45.7%, essentially identical to the national rate. Where it slips is inspections, a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 33 deficiencies on record including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $32,646. The most recent inspection was March 2026. Quality measures rate 3 out of 5. Decent hands on deck, but a troubling inspection history.
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.
Havencrest runs lean on nursing staff, 3.63 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends get thinner still, dropping about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 48.9%, a few points above the national rate, so the people providing care change often. The current record shows 24 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related; none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection came in February 2026. CMS gives the home two stars each for health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. It's a 48-bed for-profit limited liability company in Washington County.
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.
Southmont of Presbyterian Seniorcare runs 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just barely above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 34.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The trouble is inspections: 14 deficiencies on record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with one fine of $8,824. That inspection history is what drags the overall picture down, despite solid staffing numbers and a recent survey date of May 2026.
Riverstreet Manor runs on thin staffing. At 3.16 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 18 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 9 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover at 43.8 percent is nearly a point better than the national figure, which matters less than it sounds given how many aides still cycle through each year. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 49 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent survey dated April 2026. For-profit corporate ownership, a $8,278 fine on file, and a two-star health inspection rating round out a picture worth weighing carefully.
Transitions Healthcare Washington Pa runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.54 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 9% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 47.3%, slightly above the national 45.8%, and CMS gives staffing just 1 out of 5 stars even as quality measures score 4 out of 5. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 25, 2026. Ownership, turnover, and thin weekend coverage are the pieces worth weighing before you decide.
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.
Sena Kean runs about 3.44 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11% under the national average, with weekends dipping another 13% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage is the main reason its staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, and it's hard to separate from a 64.6% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a 2/5 inspection rating despite a recent April 2026 survey. Quality measures score well at 4/5, but that reflects resident outcomes, not the hands available to deliver care.
Sugar Creek Care Center runs on 3.09 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 1 out of 5. Turnover is 46.9%, slightly above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year. The 34 deficiencies on record include none flagged for harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was August 2025, so the home isn't hiding serious safety problems. It's a for-profit LLC with 148 beds where the main question is whether there are enough hands on duty.
