Saunders runs on 3.06 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below what it manages on weekdays. That shortfall shows up in the inspection record: 46 deficiencies, seven of them abuse-related and three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, with a one-star health inspection rating and a single fine of $14,433 behind it. Staff turnover sits at 54.2%, well above the national 45.8%, so the people providing that already-thin care are leaving faster than average. The last inspection was May 2025, so the record is current. A for-profit limited liability company operates its 180 certified beds.
Quality Life Services - New Castle runs 204 beds and sits about 11% under the national average for total nurse staffing, with weekends dipping roughly 7% below its own weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing rating and a turnover rate of 55.9%, a full ten points above the national figure, a lot of churn for a building this size. The current inspection record carries 17 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which matters more than the raw count suggests. State inspectors were last in on May 8, 2025, so the picture is reasonably fresh. A for-profit LLC operation with middling quality measures and lighter-than-average staffing; worth asking how they cover callouts and weekends before you decide.
McMurray Hills runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, about 3.29 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends drop another 15% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 67.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. Inspectors cited 17 deficiencies on the current record, three tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy; the most recent visit was December 6, 2024. The nonprofit ownership doesn't offset what the numbers show on staffing and quality measures, both rated 2 out of 5.
West Reading Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs about 3.11 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 10% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows in the turnover number too: 56.8% of staff leave each year, against a national average near 46%. The current record carries 31 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was January 29, 2026. Federal staffing rating is 1 out of 5, health inspection 2 out of 5, quality measures 3 out of 5, under corporate for-profit ownership across 176 certified beds.
Edenbrook North runs 152 certified beds in Williamsport under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 47.6%, slightly above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 56 deficiencies, including five tied to abuse, with no harm-level citations, and one fine totaling $305,250. Both the health inspection and quality measure ratings come in at 2 out of 5 stars, while staffing rates 3. The most recent inspection was April 2026.
Lecom At Presque Isle runs 135 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, a bit under the 3.86 national average, but the bigger issue is consistency. Weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 53.5% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, so the faces around residents change more often than they should. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. A January 2026 inspection keeps the record recent, and its quality measure score is the weakest of its federal ratings.
Milton Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 138 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average. Weekends dip about 7 percent below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 50.9 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the aides and nurses cycling through aren't staying long.
The current inspection record shows 38 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, with one tied to abuse. State inspectors last visited in November 2024. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 2 out of 5. If you're weighing this one, ask about weekend coverage and how they screen and supervise staff.
Meadowcrest is a 50-bed for-profit in Bethel Park, and the inspection record is where the trouble sits: 42 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. A one-star health inspection rating backs that up. The last inspection was in March 2026, so the file is recent rather than stale. Staffing isn't the headline problem, 3.76 nurse hours per resident day is only about 3% under the national average, though weekends run roughly 7% thinner than weekdays, and turnover at 46.5% sits just above the national figure. The quality measure rating, 3 out of 5, suggests some clinical care is being tracked well despite the citations.
Rose Meadows runs about 200 certified beds in Pittsburgh under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.60 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 56.1% while the national figure is 45.8%, so the people around your family member change often. The inspection record is heavier still, 31 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with a single fine of $274,651. The quality measure score is strong, but that reflects charted care, not the conditions a state surveyor last documented in December 2025.
Lancaster Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 446-bed for-profit home, and its biggest issue is staffing. At 3.04 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 21% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends are roughly 8% thinner than its own weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 56%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for your relative are often new. The current record shows 34 deficiencies, none at the harm level but one abuse-related, with an inspection dated May 2026. The one-star staffing rating tells you where the pressure is.
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.
Seton Manor runs 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day, about 16 percent under the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing drops roughly 9 percent below its own weekday level, the stretch when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 49.6 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people providing that thin coverage are also frequently leaving. The inspection record is the strong part: 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and a survey as recent as February 2026. Ownership is corporate for-profit, and the 129-bed home draws a 2/5 on CMS staffing and quality measures alongside its 4/5 inspection score.
Horsham Center for Jewish Life is a 324-bed for-profit home in Montgomery County, and the numbers pull in two directions. Residents get 3.57 hours of nursing care per day, about 8% under the national average, and weekend staffing drops roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so a Sunday shift runs leaner than a Tuesday. Turnover sits at 45.9%, essentially the national norm, which means the churn isn't unusual but also isn't helping.
What stands out is the inspection record: 48 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $114,699, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. The 5/5 quality measure rating reflects chart-based clinical metrics, while the 1/5 staffing rating reflects what families actually feel day to day. Ask about weekend coverage and the plan of correction before you visit.
Athens Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 90 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers tell a story worth sitting with. At 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 12 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 49.3 percent edges past the 45.8 percent national figure, which means the aides and nurses caring for your relative are often new to the building. The inspection record shows 57 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level as of the May 2026 survey. Quality measures and health inspections both scored low, and the pattern across these numbers points to a home struggling on multiple fronts at once.
Bristol Health & Rehab Center is a 174-bed for-profit in Bucks County, and the federal numbers are rough across the board. Inspectors have cited 56 deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to put residents in immediate harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse, a combination that helped land this home in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, the watch list for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes. Staffing sits at the bottom of the national range, and the government has fined the operator three times for a total of $428,987, with the most recent inspection in September 2024. That's a lot of documented problems for one building to carry.
The numbers that stand out at Linwood aren't the inspection score, it's the staffing. A one-out-of-five staffing rating at a 102-bed nonprofit in Scranton means the people providing daily care are spread thin by federal standards, and that's the thing families feel first. The inspection record backs it up: 59 deficiencies, including five tied to abuse and three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus a recent inspection in March 2026 with a $113,348 fine on the books. Quality measures land at a middling three, but good clinical numbers can't carry a building when there aren't enough hands on the floor. Ask about direct-care hours per resident per day, and ask what changed after that last survey.
Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing At Harmony is a 115-bed for-profit home in Butler County, and the numbers behind its federal record are hard to dress up. Inspectors have cited 75 deficiencies, including two at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, plus 11 tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $174,201 suggest the problems weren't paperwork. Staffing sits in the bottom tier nationally, and the most recent inspection was May 2025, so this isn't a stale record. Ownership is a limited liability company, which can make accountability harder to trace. One bright spot: the quality measure rating lands middle of the pack, meaning some clinical outcomes look average. But average care measures don't offset a staffing shortfall and that citation history.
Chestnut Hill runs 180 certified beds in Wilkes Barre under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are on the staffing side. At 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, meaning coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 61.5% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses caring for your relative are more likely than not to be new to the building within the year. The current record carries 66 deficiencies, four of them abuse-related, though none at the harm level, and the last inspection was February 2026.
Bethlehem South runs 227 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing numbers are the clearest thing on the page: 3.30 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 12% thinner than weekdays. That shortfall shows up in CMS's staffing rating of 1 out of 5, and turnover sits at 52.2% versus 45.8% nationally, roughly half the nursing staff cycling through in a year. The inspection record holds 28 deficiencies, none at harm level but three tied to abuse, plus one fine of $27,378. A September 2025 inspection is recent, so the picture is current rather than stale.
Shenandoah Senior Living runs on 3.13 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below what the home itself staffs during the week. That thinner coverage matters more given the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, including three at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $76,285. Annual turnover sits at 46.9%, just above the national figure. The most recent inspection was in May 2026. A for-profit limited liability company owns the 119-bed home. Whatever the quality measures suggest, the health inspection history is where the real trouble shows.
