Philadelphia County and its surrounding counties (Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware, Chester) account for a significant portion of Pennsylvania's agencies. Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) is the second major market. Pennsylvania's market includes a notable share of hospital-affiliated and non-profit agencies tied to large health systems like Penn Medicine, Jefferson Health, and UPMC. These tend to have strong star ratings and long certification histories.
Pennsylvania has a slightly above-average star rating distribution nationally, partly reflecting the influence of hospital-affiliated agencies. Independent proprietary agencies show more variance. When evaluating agencies in rural Pennsylvania — where options are limited — reviewing star rating history and certification date together provides the best quality signal available.
Pennsylvania home health agencies must be licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. The state Department of Health conducts its own inspections and publishes survey results. Pennsylvania does not have a Certificate of Need requirement for home health, making entry relatively open compared to CON states.
