Inspection History

In Pennsylvania, the Department of Human Services (for assisted living facilities) and the Department of Health (for nursing homes) conduct unannounced inspections to verify adherence to state regulations.

Waivers Info A higher number of waivers may indicate the facility relies on staff who don't fully meet standard credential requirements. A lower number may suggest the facility meets staffing qualification standards without exemptions.

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.
