This Facility PA Average vs. PA Avg

Waivers are Pennsylvania Department of Health exemptions that let a facility operate outside required staffing ratios or staff credential rules. A higher count can signal that the facility regularly relies on exceptions — for example, fewer nursing hours per resident or staff who don't fully meet qualification standards — which may affect day-to-day care.
