About nursing homes in Philadelphia

Nursing homes, also called skilled nursing facilities, care for people who need ongoing nursing, rehabilitation following a hospital stay, or long-term residential support. CMS inspects them about once a year and issues Five-Star ratings covering health inspections, staffing, and quality measures.

Think of ratings as a beginning, not a final word. Look at the inspection findings, staffing levels, and quality measures that sit behind each score, and verify that the services you actually need are available.

When you are choosing for yourself or someone you care for in Philadelphia, PA, tour in person if you can, ask whether space is currently available, and confirm Medicare and Medicaid participation. Also ask how the provider manages care planning, keeps families informed, and handles concerns that arise after hours.
