    Compassionate respite and clean facility

    I placed my mom here for respite and hospice support and I'm very pleased with the care. The facility is clean, comfortable and safe; her private room and shower were nice and the rehab center was good. Nurses, aides and staff were attentive and compassionate, social worker and administrator were helpful, and meals are available for a small fee (we often brought homemade or restaurant food).

    Summary of reviews

    Reviews present a mixed picture in which direct caregiving and certain services are strengths, while facility condition, operational consistency, and administration raise concerns. Many families and visitors emphasize that nursing staff and aides are caring, attentive, and engaged with residents; hospice coordination and short‑term rehabilitation services are also described positively. The facility offers private rooms with en‑suite showers, respite and day‑stay options, on‑site social‑work support, and an optional prepared lunch/dinner plan for a small fee, which some families find convenient.

    At the same time, reviewers note persistent issues with the physical environment and operational reliability. The building and furnishings are characterized as dated, with small rooms and limited lighting in some areas. Sanitation and cleanliness observations are inconsistent across the facility: some areas are described as clean and comfortable, while others are perceived as below the standard of comparable centers. These mixed impressions suggest variability between units or shifts.

    Staffing and day‑to‑day responsiveness are recurring themes. While bedside care from nurses and aides is frequently praised, there are also accounts of perceived understaffing, slow response times, and limited opportunities for one‑to‑one social interaction. These descriptions point to staffing-level or workflow constraints that can affect resident supervision and the tone of staff–resident interactions. Several comments indicate that residents in public areas may at times have insufficient supervision.

    Dining and nutrition are another area of variability. Food quality is described as average to poor by some family members, leading some to supplement with home‑prepared or restaurant meals for their relative. The facility does offer a paid lunch/dinner option, which may be useful for families seeking additional choices; however, menu variety and consistency appear to be limitations.

    Administrative issues and policies are a notable pattern. Multiple accounts express dissatisfaction with administrative communication and responsiveness; family members cite difficulties dealing with management even as they praise clinical staff. The facility enforces strict visitation controls during infection‑control events, which affected access during the COVID period and may be a consideration for prospective residents. Additionally, long‑term placement options appear limited or unavailable at times, which affects planning for extended stays.

    Overall, the center seems to deliver competent bedside nursing, rehabilitation, and hospice-linked care, particularly for short‑term or respite needs. Potential residents and families should weigh those strengths against variability in physical plant condition, cleanliness consistency, meal quality, and administrative responsiveness. Recommended due diligence before placement includes an on‑site tour of resident rooms and common areas across different times of day, discussion of staffing levels and typical staff assignments, review of recent sanitation or inspection records, clarification of visitation and long‑term availability policies, and a meeting with social‑work staff to review individualized care and meal options.

The building offers both private and semi-private, furnished rooms that are all air-conditioned, and there's a fireplace in the living room, a beauty salon and barbershop for residents, comfortable lounges and activity spaces, and a computer with internet access along with phone and wireless internet services if people want to keep in touch. A dedicated arts room, movie nights, a well-kept garden, walking paths, and community-sponsored activities help people relax and get involved, while the staff organizes plenty of cultural, educational, religious, and social activities, and the garden is there for anyone who needs a little peace and fresh air. Norriton Square Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has a strong focus on healthcare with skilled nurses, attending physicians, and a Nurse Practitioner called Jaclyn Swink, and its team, under Administrator Christina Quinn and Medical Director Susan Ginsberg, can handle medication, wound care, IV therapy, psychiatric services, colostomy care, pain management, and even X-rays without needing to leave the building. The facility works with special dietary needs, preparing diabetes-friendly and allergy-sensitive meals, and they've got an on-site laundry, housekeeping, parking, and transportation services, so most day-to-day jobs get sorted for people. They provide therapy services, including physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapy, and there's Powerback Rehabilitation to You services, and a special focus on rehabilitation for joint replacements and amputations. Norriton Square is American Heart Association Heart Failure Certified and is a WE HONOR VETERANS partner, which means they show some extra care for veterans, and it's earned the AHCA Bronze Quality Award.

There's physician service, psychiatric and physiatry service, on-site mail, newspaper, and a smoke-free policy, so people can settle in, stay connected, and get the level of care they really need, no matter if they're recovering from a hospital stay or looking for long-term support.
