Green Home, Inc, The
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Green Home, Inc. in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is slightly above average in quality. It ranks #292 out of 653 facilities in the state, placing it in the top half, but is the second-best option out of two in Tioga County. Unfortunately, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with issues rising from 4 in 2023 to 22 in 2024. Staff turnover is at 55%, which is average compared to the state, but the staffing rating of 4 out of 5 stars suggests that there are enough caregivers to meet residents' needs. While the facility has not incurred any fines, there are concerning inspection findings, such as failing to maintain sanitary linens and not providing residents with quarterly statements of their personal funds, which could lead to financial confusion. Overall, while there are strengths in staffing and no fines, families should be aware of the recent increase in issues and specific areas needing improvement.
