TWIN PINES HEALTH CARE CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Twin Pines Health Care Center has a Trust Grade of C, indicating it is average and in the middle of the pack among nursing homes. It ranks #371 out of 653 facilities in Pennsylvania, placing it in the bottom half, and #17 out of 20 in Chester County, meaning only a few local options are better. The facility's performance is worsening, with issues increasing from 3 in 2024 to 8 in 2025. Staffing is considered a strength, with a 39% turnover rate, which is below the state average of 46%, but the facility has concerning RN coverage, being lower than 93% of Pennsylvania facilities. Specific incidents include a resident being transferred by one staff member instead of the required two, posing a fall risk, as well as multiple instances where residents' confidential medical information was left exposed on unattended computers. Overall, while there are strengths in staffing stability, the facility's increasing issues and privacy concerns are significant weaknesses families should consider.
