Overview of The Meadows at Shannondell

Located at 6000 Shannondell Drive, The Meadows at Shannondell is a skilled nursing home in Audubon, Pennsylvania, operated by Shannondell Inc., owned by David Rittenhouse. The 171-bed community accepts Medicare and private pay. Residents stay for an average of 18 days, and its current occupancy is 84%. The home primarily serves residents that recently been hospitalized and need intensive rehabilitation services.

The community’s staffing support is strong. Nurses provide care for an average of 4 hours and 22 minutes per resident daily. Nurse aides provide an additional 3 hours and 36 minutes per day because they are committed to hands-on personal care. A licensed nurse is available 24 hours a day, and an on-site nurse practitioner and physician provide medical oversight and ongoing care.

The facility is mainly focused on rehabilitation, offering on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy. It is paired with access to specialized services including dentistry, podiatry, psychiatry, and cardiology. This scope of care and access to specialists make it easier for residents, as they won’t need to seek outside referrals while recovering after hospitalization.

There are many amenities available for residents’ daily lives. All rooms have private bathrooms. Dining is prepared by chefs and served as if they were in a restaurant. There is tableside service and menus that accommodate individual preferences and dietary restrictions. A registered dietitian plans for their nutritional needs. The community also features an outdoor garden courtyard, planned activities and social events, exercise classes, and walking areas. On-site grooming services include a barber and beauty salon.

The neighborhood has a walkability score of 62. Some errands can be done on foot, but a car is helpful for most trips. Families and health providers will find local amenities and pedestrian access in the area.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health identified concerns related to medication management and staffing practices. The facility has since implemented corrective plans to address these issues.

Staffing hours breakdown

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

Total nursing care / resident

4h 22m per day

vs avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	1h 4m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	1h 21m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	1h 50m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 51m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	19m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	45m per day

Inspection Score

8 points below the Pennsylvania average for assisted living residences (83/100)

Waivers A higher number of waivers may indicate the facility relies on staff who don't fully meet standard credential requirements. A lower number may suggest the facility meets staffing qualification standards without exemptions.

This Facility PA Average vs. PA Avg

Waivers are Pennsylvania Department of Health exemptions that let a facility operate outside required staffing ratios or staff credential rules. A higher count can signal that the facility regularly relies on exceptions — for example, fewer nursing hours per resident or staff who don't fully meet qualification standards — which may affect day-to-day care.
