This home is ranked 38th out of 167 homes in Pennsylvania.| Staff type | Hours / day | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 53m per day | ▲ 13% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 43m per day | ▼ 22% State avg: 55m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 3h 2m per day | ▲ 38% State avg: 2h 12m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 4h 26m per day | ▲ 26% State avg: 3h 31m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 2m per day | ▼ 67% State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 33m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 33m per day · National avg: 28m per day |

A waiver is a formal permission granted by the PA Department of Human Services allowing a facility to deviate from a specific state regulation under defined conditions. Waivers are not penalties — they are approved exemptions, most commonly issued for staff qualification requirements. A higher number of waivers may indicate a facility relies on staff who don't fully meet standard credential requirements, which is worth noting but is common in facilities with diverse or foreign-educated workforces. Waivers are reviewed annually and can be revoked if conditions aren't met.
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.
Pennsylvania average: 0.9 waivers
The most recent inspection on July 16, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies including issues with resident record confidentiality, privacy concerns from camera placement, sanitary problems with glucometer use, fire safety shortcomings, outdated food storage, and medication administration errors. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related to resident supervision and abuse in the secured dementia care unit, medication management, fire safety orientation, and food storage practices. Complaint investigations substantiated incidents of resident-to-resident abuse and inadequate staff training, with some findings involving neglect of behavioral assessments and safety measures. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history reflects ongoing challenges in several areas without a clear trend of improvement or worsening over time.
