Chestnut Hill Lodge Health and Rehabilitation Center

Chestnut Hill Lodge Health and Rehabilitation Center sits at 8833 Stenton Ave in Wyndmoor, near Glenside, Pennsylvania, with 181 certified beds and an average of about 165 residents each day, and folks come here for all sorts of care, whether it's short-term rehabilitation, respite stays, or longer-term skilled nursing, and you'll find that the staff stays around to help out with things like bathing, dressing, medication management, transfers, and even non-ambulatory care, with nurses and therapists working round the clock. People mention that it's renowned for compassionate care, and there's a big focus on creating personalized care plans, which a team reviews and updates based on each resident's needs and health goals, and residents get immediate access to hospital specialists if they need them, along with services like onsite kidney dialysis in partnership with Chestnut Hill Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center. The place feels friendly and well-kept, and there are private bathrooms, air conditioning, and room choices like private and shared spaces, studios, and places with special mobility features. Community amenities include Wi-Fi, cable TV, and plenty of gathering spots, such as a movie theater, arts room, fitness room, a wellness and spa space, library, game room, and outdoor areas like gardens and walking paths. Meals are served restaurant-style with a chef who handles dietary needs, and everyone can eat when they like with all-day dining, and the staff helps with laundry, housekeeping, transportation, and parking as well. There's an emergency alert system and 24-hour call system for safety, plus special services like move-in coordination and a concierge. The community does plenty to keep folks engaged, offering activities both inside and out, with resident-led programs, a movie night, arts, music, and family and resident councils working on care and quality improvements. The team is dedicated, though the nurse turnover rate is about 59.6%, and the center has faced 52 inspection deficiencies, including one infection-related issue, with most deficiencies at lower severity levels (D-E), and reports have noted times when residents didn't get enough help with activities they couldn't perform themselves. Inspections also show that care plans start within a week and get regular reviews by health professionals. Chestnut Hill Lodge accepts Medicare and Medicaid, is run as a for-profit corporation, and uses support from Premier Healthcare Management for administration. Though the healthcare team is experienced and there are lots of specialty programs, specialties aren't listed in detail, but as a skilled nursing facility there's access to physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Residents and visitors have commented on the welcoming feeling, and the facility is set for renovations to make the space even nicer. Right now, the center isn't taking new residents, but those who live here benefit from a thoughtful, community-oriented approach, and the location is easy to reach off Lincoln Drive, making visits from family and friends more convenient.
