24 homes
in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Burgh Care Center is a for-profit, 126-bed home in Pittsburgh that the federal government has flagged for its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of serious problems. Its inspection history backs that up: 120 deficiencies on the current record, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse, plus $347,202 in fines across three cases. Nurse staffing runs about 12% below the national average, weekends dip further, and turnover sits at 51.4%, well above the 45.8% norm. A recent inspection in April 2026 doesn't erase a pattern this deep. Worth asking hard questions before considering it.
Care Pavilion is a 396-bed for-profit home in Philadelphia, and the numbers that stand out most aren't about its size. State inspectors have cited 96 deficiencies on the current record, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse, a volume that suggests problems aren't isolated incidents. Federal fines total $185,704 across three actions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.20 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays. One relative bright spot: staff turnover is 32.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The last inspection was December 22, 2025, so that record is recent.
Bridgeville Rehabilitation & Care Center runs 194 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 60.5% against a national 45.8%, so residents cycle through a lot of unfamiliar faces. The inspection record is heavier still, 73 deficiencies, four serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, twelve tied to abuse, and $209,858 in fines across three penalties. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a recent August 2025 inspection round out the picture.
Grandview Nursing And Rehabilitation in Danville carries one of the heavier regulatory loads in Pennsylvania. The 172-bed for-profit home has 117 deficiencies on its current record, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for homes with a pattern of persistent problems. Staffing sits at 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, slightly under the national figure, and drops about 15% on weekends. Turnover runs 50.9% against a 45.8% national average, meaning roughly half the nursing staff leaves each year. Four fines totaling $157,241 round out the record.
Harmar Village runs on thin nurse coverage, 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, with weekends about 13% leaner than weekdays, exactly when families tend to visit and notice. The bigger red flag is the workforce itself: 71.8% annual turnover against a 45.8% national average means most caregivers you meet this year probably won't be there next year. Its record shows 119 deficiencies, including five at harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $75,890. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and the most recent inspection was April 2026.
Forest Park runs on 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops further below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 71.9 percent against a national figure near 46, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new to the building. The inspection record backs that up: 109 deficiencies, five of them at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with five fines totaling $161,919. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. The most recent inspection was March 2025. If you're weighing this one, ask about weekend staffing and how they keep experienced aides.
Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing At Lititz runs 42 beds, and the numbers behind its standing are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.46 hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is the starkest figure: 82.1% annually against a national rate near 46%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building. The current inspection record carries 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Inspectors last visited on July 18, 2025.
Wallingford Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 193 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth sitting with. Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop about 7% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the harder signal: 62.8% annually against a 45.8% national average, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building. Then there's the inspection record: 50 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, six abuse-related, and $282,733 in fines. The most recent inspection was December 2024.
Carlisle Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 150-bed for-profit home that Medicare flags for its worst-performing tier, the Special Focus Facility program. The numbers behind that: a one-star rating across all three CMS categories, 63 deficiencies on record including four involving harm or jeopardy and two tied to abuse, plus $40,055 in fines. Nurse staffing sits at 3.19 hours per resident day, about 17% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 61.3% a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are constantly new. If you're considering this place, ask hard questions about who's actually on the floor.
Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing At Campbelltown runs 53 beds in Palmyra, and the numbers here are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.32 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, about 8% below the home's own weekday level. Meanwhile, annual turnover hits 84.1% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses cycling through the building rarely stay long.
The inspection record tells the same story: 74 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a one-star rating across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which it reserves for the country's most persistently troubled homes.
Midtown Oaks runs 3.52 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 7% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 57.4% against a 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses cycling through are often new to the building. The inspection record carries 108 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $99,042 and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was February 27, 2026. A for-profit LLC operates the 120-bed home. If you're considering this one, ask directly how they're fixing weekend staffing and what's changed since that February survey.
Champion City is a 187-bed for-profit home in Pittsburgh, and the federal numbers paint a rough picture from every angle. Staff turnover runs at 60.7 percent a year, well above the national average of 45.8, and its staffing, quality, and health inspection ratings each sit at the lowest mark CMS gives. The current record carries 90 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 11 tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which the agency reserves for the homes with the most persistent problems. Its last inspection was March 27, 2026, and there's one fine on record, totaling $7,656.
Jersey Shore Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers behind its record are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.32 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends dip another 6% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 73.2% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are largely new to the building and to each other. Inspectors have cited 61 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with $46,196 in fines. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 1 out of 5.
Ridgeview runs a 111-bed for-profit home in Shenandoah, and the numbers there deserve a hard look before you tour. Nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends run about 5% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is already stretched and gets thinner when it matters. The bigger red flag is turnover: 84.9% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses caring for your relative are, statistically, unlikely to still be there in a year. The inspection record shows 73 deficiencies, including 4 tied to abuse and 2 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, with $333,638 in fines.
Friendship Rehab and Health is one of the largest nursing homes in Pennsylvania, with 589 certified beds, and it's owned by a for-profit limited liability company. The staffing numbers are the first thing you'd notice: 2.40 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 38% under the national average, with weekends running about 18% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 66.2% a year against a national average of 45.8%. The inspection record is heavy, 173 deficiencies, 10 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 13 abuse-related, and five fines totaling $234,389. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent record of serious problems.
Rochester Residence and Care Center carries a record that should give any family pause. State and federal inspectors have cited 141 deficiencies here, ten of them tied to abuse and eight serious enough to put residents in immediate harm's way. Six fines total $390,255, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the small share of nursing homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 119 certified beds. The most recent inspection, in February 2026, is recent enough that these findings reflect how the place operates now, not some distant past. If you're considering this home, ask hard questions before you sign anything.
