HOPKINS CENTER
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
The Hopkins Center in Wyncote, Pennsylvania has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. With a state rank of #576 out of 653, they are in the bottom half of Pennsylvania facilities, and they rank #54 out of 58 in Montgomery County, suggesting that very few local options are worse. The facility's trend is worsening, increasing from 18 issues in 2024 to 23 in 2025, which is alarming. Staffing is average with a 3/5 rating, but the turnover rate is concerning at 50%, which is about the state's average. They have incurred $155,155 in fines, higher than 95% of facilities in Pennsylvania, indicating ongoing compliance issues. Specific incidents include a critical failure to supervise a resident at risk of leaving the facility, resulting in serious injuries when the resident exited through a window. Another critical finding involved a resident being given insulin without proper education on blood sugar management, creating a dangerous situation. Additionally, a serious issue arose when a care plan for a resident with alcohol dependency was not adequately developed, leading to hospitalization for alcohol intoxication. While there are some strengths, such as average staffing ratings, the alarming number of critical incidents and overall poor rankings raise significant red flags for families considering this facility for their loved ones.

About This Facility
What is Hopkins Center's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns HOPKINS CENTER an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, which is considered much 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 Hopkins Center Staffed?
CMS rates HOPKINS CENTER's staffing level at 3 out of 5 stars, which is average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 50%, compared to the Pennsylvania average of 46%. RN turnover specifically is 56%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.
What Have Inspectors Found at Hopkins Center?
State health inspectors documented 48 deficiencies at HOPKINS CENTER during 2023 to 2025. These included: 2 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 4 that caused actual resident harm, and 42 with potential for harm. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.
Who Owns and Operates Hopkins Center?
HOPKINS CENTER 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 GENESIS HEALTHCARE, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 106 certified beds and approximately 92 residents (about 87% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in WYNCOTE, Pennsylvania.
How Does Hopkins Center Compare to Other Pennsylvania Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Pennsylvania, HOPKINS CENTER's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 3.0, staff turnover (50%) is near the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (1 stars) is much below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Hopkins Center?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "What safeguards and monitoring systems are in place to protect residents from abuse or neglect?" "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 Immediate Jeopardy citations and the substantiated abuse finding on record.
Is Hopkins Center Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, HOPKINS CENTER has documented safety concerns. The facility has 1 substantiated abuse finding (meaning confirmed case of resident harm by staff or other residents). Inspectors have issued 2 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Pennsylvania. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at Hopkins Center Stick Around?
HOPKINS CENTER has a staff turnover rate of 50%, 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 Hopkins Center Ever Fined?
HOPKINS CENTER has been fined $155,155 across 6 penalty actions. This is 4.5x the Pennsylvania average of $34,630. Fines at this level are uncommon and typically indicate a pattern of serious deficiencies, repeated violations, or failure to correct problems promptly. CMS reserves penalties of this magnitude for facilities that pose significant, documented risk to resident health or safety. Families should request specific documentation of what issues led to these fines and what systemic changes have been implemented.
Is Hopkins Center on Any Federal Watch List?
HOPKINS CENTER 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.
