Independence Rehab and Nursing

Care plans are individualized; the same campus runs medical and orthopedic rehab, pain and palliative services, trach and IV therapy, hospice, and personalized PT, OT, and speech (including stroke recovery and swallowing work). Respite care, social and recreational programs, and a resident council are part of daily life here. On paper, total nurse hours per resident day land near the national average at about 3.61, with CNA time making up most of that. A Women's Choice Award listing places the facility in the top 9% of skilled nursing facilities, and facility posts show small, concrete staff gestures—Friday raffles, Motivation Monday water ice. Temple Health leadership has visited for medical ancillary services. You should also know the CMS picture is rough: overall about 1 star, with weak health-inspection and quality scores, 19 health deficiencies, several fines, staff turnover around 61%, and RN hours at only 0.31 per resident day (lower on weekends). If you apply, ask straight questions about current RN staffing, weekend coverage, and which unit you would land on.

Individualized care plans, interdisciplinary planning, and a mix of skilled nursing, rehab, palliative, and hospice services for long-term and post-acute residents.
