Edgehill Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits tucked on a tree-lined street in Glenside, Pennsylvania, and the place feels quiet and somewhat set back though it's close to doctors and hospitals for when someone needs extra care or visits. The building is small and holds about 60 beds, giving it a close, more personal feeling than bigger sites, and the community is owned by a non-profit group, which can make things feel less businesslike after a while. The center offers apartment-style living with choices ranging from one-bedroom to four-bedroom rentals, and folks who move in find themselves surrounded by a batch of standard comforts like air conditioning, patios, pools, walking paths, and even barbecue and garden areas for when the weather's nice enough. Some rooms have balconies and windows that overlook the water, and there's a doorman, do not forget the washers and dryers, too, since you don't always want to wait for laundry pickup. Pets are welcome, which means you'll see a few animal visitors trotting around with their people.
Edgehill's main focus is on skilled nursing care and rehabilitation, which means some folks come after a hospital stay for surgery, illness, or injury and then head home after they graduate the rehab program, and others stay for the longer haul because they need daily attention and a nursing plan that fits their needs, goals, and schedules. The center has been helping people recover and, by last count, has seen over 138 people finish the Rehabilitation Program. The staff speaks English, and the team works around the clock with 24-hour supervision, providing medication management, help with bathing, dressing, and transferring, plus housekeeping and laundry-even dry cleaning. They run lots of activities, from arts groups to fitness classes and even social events, to keep people lively and connected. There's a barber or salon area inside, along with shared dining rooms and community spaces, and the staff is quick to make changes if residents voice concerns about food or schedules. If someone has special dietary needs, say allergies or diabetes, the kitchen can manage those restrictions.
The center takes both Medicaid and Medicare, which helps with the cost, and the whole setup is wheelchair accessible with emergency alert systems in every room for safety. Transportation and parking services are there so residents and visitors can get in and out easily, and the team makes sure all appointments off-site are covered if needed. People who are there for short-term stays work with physical therapists and specialists who handle cardiac care, diabetes management, and pain control. Long-term folks get care plans personalized to where they're at. Edgehill also has legal protections for residents from discrimination based on gender identity, orientation, or income source, and this comes from both local and federal laws since Edgehill is an equal opportunity housing provider and employer. Reviewers online say the place gets about 3.3 stars based on 8 reviews, so, as with most places, some are happy and others not as much, but the building has kept at things like offering flu shots, RSV resources, and staying up to date on COVID-19 monitoring and vaccine information. You can find this nonprofit skilled nursing facility serving Glenside and the nearby area if you're looking for continuing care, a tightknit community, and extra support for health, strength, or just plain daily living.
