Spruce Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation sits at 220 S 4th Ave in West Reading, Pennsylvania, and this center, which is now closed, was part of the Saber Healthcare Group network. The place had 184 certified beds and usually cared for about 166 residents each day. The nurses provided about 3.34 hours of care for each resident per day and the nurse turnover rate in the last year was 24.2%. Spruce Manor held a 3-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and carried a community average rating of 6 out of 10, which put it at the 15th highest in the city. While Spruce Manor did get recognized by the American Health Care Association for some of its care standards, state inspections found five deficiencies, such as care planning and help with continence issues, though nothing resulted in actual harm, only a chance for more than minimal harm.
Spruce Manor had a range of private and suite-style rooms, with options like cable TV, Wi-Fi, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, telephones, air conditioning, and furnished rooms. Residents could use community services like housekeeping, move-in help, laundry and dry cleaning, family support, transportation, and parking. Amenities included walking paths, gardens, an outdoor area, fitness programs, a spa room, business room, movie nights, a movie theater, daily activities, game room, and resident-led activities, plus a secure outdoor space so residents could spend time outside safely. The dining room served restaurant-style meals with allergy-sensitive options, diabetic meals, and food for special diets, all made by a professional chef, and they had all-day dining.
For care, Spruce Manor provided assisted living, skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, and long-term care. Services included 12-16 hour nursing care, a 24-hour call system, help with bathing and dressing, medication management, non-ambulatory care, and round-the-clock supervision. The team used an interdisciplinary approach with physical, occupational, and speech therapy available for those who needed help after surgery, cardiac problems, stroke, IV therapy, or wound care. The Lighthouse Memory Care program offered support for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, including special activities to help them feel safe and calm. Social wellness was important here, and they planned regular activities like music, walks, zoo and movie trips, and holiday celebrations. Medicaid and Medicare were accepted, and the center offered pre-registration so folks could plan for recovery before surgery. The ownership belonged 100% to Shg Recs, LLC, managed by Saber Governance, LLC since September 2019, and the facility operated as a for-profit business.
