BROAD ACRES HEALTH AND REHABILITATION
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Broad Acres Health and Rehabilitation has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good facility and a solid choice for care. It ranks #159 out of 653 facilities in Pennsylvania, placing it in the top half of the state, and #1 out of 2 in Tioga County, meaning it's the best option locally. The facility is improving, as it reduced its issues from four in 2024 to one in 2025. Staffing is a strength, with a 4/5 star rating and a turnover rate of 46%, which is on par with the state average, suggesting that staff are familiar with the residents. Notably, there have been no fines, which is a positive sign, but there have been concerns such as delays in staff response times to call bells, with one resident reporting waits of over 15 minutes, and inadequate food storage practices that could lead to foodborne illness. Additionally, the facility has not consistently met care standards for wound assessments and diabetes management for some residents, highlighting areas for improvement despite its overall good performance.

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 Broad Acres Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, BROAD ACRES HEALTH AND REHABILITATION 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 Broad Acres Stick Around?
BROAD ACRES HEALTH AND REHABILITATION 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.
Was Broad Acres Ever Fined?
BROAD ACRES HEALTH AND REHABILITATION 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 Broad Acres on Any Federal Watch List?
BROAD ACRES HEALTH AND REHABILITATION 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.
