Data insights
Quality ratings
On Care Compare (data as of April 2026), Passavant Retirement and Healt carries an overall CMS quality rating of 4 out of 5 stars. That figure rolls up three sub-ratings tracked separately: health inspection (2/5), staffing (5/5), and quality measures (5/5).
What each sub-rating measures

Size and setting
Located in Zelienople, Pennsylvania, this facility operates 102 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 97 residents - an occupancy rate of about 95%. The facility is classified under non profit - church related ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 95% occupancy, this facility is running near full capacity, worth confirming current bed availability directly before visiting.
Same-ownership peers
Within Pennsylvania, Passavant Retirement and Healt is one of 29 non profit - church related nursing homes CMS rates. Its 4-star overall rating sits below the non profit - church related-segment average of 4.1 stars, ahead of roughly 17% of same-ownership peers in the state. Comparing a facility against its own ownership segment holds the business model roughly constant, which helps isolate facility-level performance from the staffing and reinvestment patterns that differ across for-profit, non-profit, and government operators.
Inspection record

This is a high deficiency count relative to most facilities; requesting the full survey report directly is the only way to see whether these are concentrated in one area or spread across the facility's operations.
Where these figures come from
The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
