PAUL'S RUN
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Paul's Run in Philadelphia has a Trust Grade of B+, which means it is above average and recommended for families seeking care. It ranks #210 out of 653 facilities in Pennsylvania, placing it in the top half, and #9 out of 46 in Philadelphia County, indicating that only a few local options are better. The facility is new and has no historical trend data, but it has a solid staffing rating of 4 out of 5 stars, with a low turnover rate of 24%, well below the state average of 46%, suggesting that staff members are stable and familiar with residents. Notably, there have been no fines recorded, which is a positive sign of compliance. However, there are some areas of concern. The facility has been cited for failing to implement enhanced barrier precautions for residents at risk of infection, and for not developing baseline care plans within the required 48 hours of admission for some residents, which can affect the quality of care. Additionally, there was a failure to monitor and adjust care for a resident's nutritional needs, raising potential health risks. Overall, while Paul's Run has many strengths, families should be aware of these issues when considering it for their loved ones.

Who Owns and Operates Paul'S Run?

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Paul'S Run?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "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 Paul'S Run Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, PAUL'S RUN 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 Paul'S Run Stick Around?
Staff at PAUL'S RUN tend to stick around. With a turnover rate of 24%, the facility is 21 percentage points below the Pennsylvania average of 46%. Low turnover is a positive sign. It means caregivers have time to learn each resident's needs, medications, and personal preferences. Consistent staff also notice subtle changes in a resident's condition more quickly. Registered Nurse turnover is also low at 26%, meaning experienced RNs are available to handle complex medical needs.
Was Paul'S Run Ever Fined?
PAUL'S RUN 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 Paul'S Run on Any Federal Watch List?
PAUL'S RUN 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.
