Overview of Lutheran Senior Life Passavant Community

Facebook LinkedIn

Operated by Lutheran SeniorLife, Lutheran Senior Life Passavant Community is a 68-bed nursing community in Zelienople, Pennsylvania, offering residential care, rehabilitation, memory care, and nursing care. The community also supports both rehabilitation and long-term care residents, with an average length of stay of approximately 144 days. Current occupancy is 51%, with 35 residents living within a 68-bed setting, suggesting availability.

Outpatient therapy, Meals on Wheels coordination, and connections to local senior centers are also provided, along with chef-prepared dining and an on-site health and wellness center. Moreover, total nursing care is provided at an average of 4 hours and 37 minutes each day, while nurse aides provide an additional 3 hours and 55 minutes of support. The community also accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay arrangements. Located on Burgess Drive in a neighborhood with a Walk Score of 73, the community also offers convenient access for visiting family members.

In the last five years, state inspections have identified recurring concerns related to medication management and documentation practices. Furthermore, a substantiated medication error and resident abuse incident occurred in 2024 and were addressed through corrective action. More recent inspections also showed improvement but noted a documentation deficiency involving resident assessments.

Interested families are encouraged to review Lutheran Senior Life Passavant Community’s inspection records carefully and discuss the safeguards in place to support medication accuracy, resident safety, and regulatory compliance, to ensure it meets their needs.

Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 1h 27m per day ▲ 86% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 32m per day ▼ 41% State avg: 54m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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. 2h 34m per day ▲ 16% State avg: 2h 12m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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 9m per day ▲ 18% State avg: 3h 32m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants.

Weekend RN Info 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. 1h 1m per day ▲ 87% State avg: 33m per day · National avg: 29m per day

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.
