Choosing a nursing home in Luzerne County

When comparing nursing homes, review the health inspection findings behind the star rating, check nurse staffing levels and turnover, and ask about rehabilitation services, memory care, and how care plans are reviewed.

Ratings are a starting point, not a verdict. Review the inspection findings, staffing levels, and quality measures behind each score, then confirm the services you need are actually offered.

If you are choosing for yourself or a family member in Luzerne County, visit in person when possible, ask about current availability, and confirm participation in Medicare and Medicaid. Ask how the provider handles care planning, family communication, and after-hours concerns.
