Overview of Chestnut Ridge Retirement Living

Facebook LinkedIn

Providing skilled nursing care, respite care, and personal care services, Chestnut Ridge Retirement Living is a 130-bed nursing community in Chester, Pennsylvania. Currently serving 66 residents, the community has an occupancy rate of 51%. 24-hour staffing support is also available, along with chef-prepared meals and the structured LifeBridges program.

Located in a car-dependent area with limited walkability, the community generally requires transportation for visits, errands, and access to nearby services.

Inspection history indicates a period of operational and regulatory challenges related to resident safety, care delivery, incident reporting, staff training, medication management, and resident assessment processes. However, corrective actions and additional staff training have been implemented. The most recent state inspection also reported no deficiencies, indicating progress in addressing previously cited concerns and improving compliance.

It is highly suggested that interested families understand the community’s current staffing practices, safety procedures, and quality assurance efforts before making a care decision. Otherwise, Chestnut Ridge Retirement Living may be an option for older adults seeking skilled nursing or respite care.

Inspection History

In Pennsylvania, the Department of Human Services (for assisted living facilities) and the Department of Health (for nursing homes) conduct unannounced inspections to verify adherence to state regulations.

Waivers Info 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.
