KINZUA NURSING AND REHAB
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Kinzua Nursing and Rehab has a Trust Grade of D, which means it's below average and raises some concerns about the quality of care. It ranks #447 out of 653 nursing homes in Pennsylvania, placing it in the bottom half of facilities in the state, and it's the last option in Warren County. While the facility is improving-reducing issues from 17 in 2024 to 10 in 2025-staff turnover is high at 69%, significantly above the state average, which may affect the consistency of care. There were no fines recorded, which is a positive sign, but RN coverage is concerning as it is less than 83% of state facilities, meaning there may not be enough registered nurses available to catch potential problems. Specific incidents noted include the facility's failure to employ a qualified dietitian for food services, inaccurate documentation for several residents, and a lack of consistent nutritional assessments, highlighting areas that need immediate attention for better resident care.

About This Facility
What is Kinzua Nursing And Rehab's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns KINZUA NURSING AND REHAB an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which is considered below average nationally. Within Pennsylvania, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Kinzua Nursing And Rehab Staffed?
CMS rates KINZUA NURSING AND REHAB's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 69%, which is 23 percentage points above the Pennsylvania average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs. RN turnover specifically is 93%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.
What Have Inspectors Found at Kinzua Nursing And Rehab?
State health inspectors documented 31 deficiencies at KINZUA NURSING AND REHAB during 2023 to 2025. These included: 31 with potential for harm.
Who Owns and Operates Kinzua Nursing And Rehab?
KINZUA NURSING AND REHAB 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 VALLEY WEST HEALTH, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 106 certified beds and approximately 85 residents (about 80% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in WARREN, Pennsylvania.
How Does Kinzua Nursing And Rehab Compare to Other Pennsylvania Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Pennsylvania, KINZUA NURSING AND REHAB's overall rating (2 stars) is below the state average of 3.0, staff turnover (69%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (2 stars) is below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Kinzua Nursing And Rehab?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "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?" "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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Kinzua Nursing And Rehab Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, KINZUA NURSING AND REHAB 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 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 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 Kinzua Nursing And Rehab Stick Around?
Staff turnover at KINZUA NURSING AND REHAB is high. At 69%, the facility is 23 percentage points above the Pennsylvania average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 93%. 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 Kinzua Nursing And Rehab Ever Fined?
KINZUA NURSING AND REHAB 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 Kinzua Nursing And Rehab on Any Federal Watch List?
KINZUA NURSING AND REHAB 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.
