Colonial Woods

Overview of Colonial Woods

With a 31-bed capacity, Colonial Woods is a personal care home in Glenmoore, Pennsylvania, that offers skilled nursing care and respite care. As a relatively new community, it currently operates at 84% occupancy. Staff members are also available 24 hours a day to assist with residents’ daily needs. Its setting in a rural area on Creek Road also requires transportation by car for most errands.

Personal care and support with activities of daily living, including assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, and mobility, are provided, along with routine medical services including monthly physician visits and access to an onsite podiatrist. Meals are also prepared on-site and served in a family-style setting, with dietary accommodations available for those with specific nutritional needs. For specialized treatment, the community collaborates with external healthcare providers to coordinate care.

Concerns related to staff conduct and qualifications, medication administration and documentation practices, cleanliness, and responsiveness to resident care needs are among the findings identified through state inspections. Corrective action plans have been submitted to address these findings. Families evaluating care options are encouraged to review inspection reports and ask detailed questions during visits about the steps being taken to improve these areas.

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.
