WECARE AT SOUTH HILLS REHABILITATION AND NRSG CTR
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
WeCare at South Hills Rehabilitation and Nursing Center has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. With a state rank of #645 out of 653 facilities in Pennsylvania, they are in the bottom half, and they hold the lowest rank in Washington County at #12 out of 12. The facility is worsening, with issues increasing from 7 in 2024 to 24 in 2025, which raises red flags for potential residents and their families. Staffing is a concern as well, with a rating of 2 out of 5 stars and a high turnover rate of 77%, significantly above the state average. Notably, there have been critical incidents involving failure to protect residents from sexual abuse and inadequate supervision, leading to unsafe conditions for multiple residents. While there are no fines recorded, the overall poor ratings and critical incidents suggest that families should proceed with caution.

Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.
Who Owns and Operates Wecare At South Hills Rehabilitation And Nrsg Ctr?
WECARE AT SOUTH HILLS REHABILITATION AND NRSG CTR is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by WECARE CENTERS, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes.

How Does Wecare At South Hills Rehabilitation And Nrsg Ctr Compare to Other Pennsylvania Nursing Homes?

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Wecare At South Hills Rehabilitation And Nrsg Ctr?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "What safeguards and monitoring systems are in place to protect residents from abuse or neglect?" "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the substantiated abuse finding on record, the facility's high staff turnover rate, and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Wecare At South Hills Rehabilitation And Nrsg Ctr Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, WECARE AT SOUTH HILLS REHABILITATION AND NRSG CTR has documented safety concerns. The facility has 1 substantiated abuse finding (meaning confirmed case of resident harm by staff or other residents). Inspectors have issued 3 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility is currently on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes nationwide). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Pennsylvania. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at Wecare At South Hills Rehabilitation And Nrsg Ctr Stick Around?
Staff turnover at WECARE AT SOUTH HILLS REHABILITATION AND NRSG CTR is high. At 77%, the facility is 30 percentage points above the Pennsylvania average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 79%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Wecare At South Hills Rehabilitation And Nrsg Ctr Ever Fined?
WECARE AT SOUTH HILLS REHABILITATION AND NRSG CTR has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Wecare At South Hills Rehabilitation And Nrsg Ctr on Any Federal Watch List?
WECARE AT SOUTH HILLS REHABILITATION AND NRSG CTR is currently an SFF Candidate, meaning CMS has identified it as potentially qualifying for the Special Focus Facility watch list. SFF Candidates have a history of serious deficiencies but haven't yet reached the threshold for full SFF designation. The facility is being monitored more closely — if problems continue, it may be added to the official watch list. Families should ask what the facility is doing to address the issues that led to this status.
