ORCHARD MANOR
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Orchard Manor in Grove City, Pennsylvania has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice but not without its flaws. It ranks #208 out of 653 nursing homes in Pennsylvania, placing it in the top half of facilities statewide, but only #8 out of 10 in Mercer County suggests there are better local options. The facility is improving, having reduced its issues from five in 2024 to three in 2025. Staffing is a mixed bag, with a 3/5 rating, indicating average levels, and a turnover rate of 46%, which is concerning but aligns with the state average. However, there are some serious concerns, including a recent incident where inadequate supervision led to a resident suffering a laceration requiring stitches and other injuries, as well as issues with care plan updates and oxygen management that could potentially harm residents. Overall, while there are strengths in its rating and improvements, families should be aware of the specific incidents and staff coverage levels.

"How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?"
Is Orchard Manor Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, ORCHARD MANOR has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 4-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Pennsylvania. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Orchard Manor Stick Around?
ORCHARD MANOR has a staff turnover rate of 46%, which is about average for Pennsylvania nursing homes (state average: 46%). Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.

While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Orchard Manor on Any Federal Watch List?
ORCHARD MANOR is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
