GARDENS AT MILLVILLE, THE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
The Gardens at Millville has a Trust Grade of F, indicating a poor performance with significant concerns. It ranks #559 out of 653 nursing homes in Pennsylvania, placing it in the bottom half statewide, and #3 out of 4 in Columbia County, meaning only one nearby facility is better. While the facility is improving, with issues decreasing from 28 in 2024 to 9 in 2025, it still faced serious problems, including not maintaining safe hot water temperatures, which could lead to severe burns for a significant number of residents. Staffing is a weakness here, with a low rating of 1 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 53%, suggesting that staff may not stay long enough to build strong relationships with residents. Additionally, they were fined $25,275, which is concerning as it is higher than 77% of Pennsylvania facilities, indicating ongoing compliance issues.
