Overview of Knickerbocker Villa

Knickerbocker Villa is a recently opened nursing community in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, that offers skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. With only one year in operation, the community is currently building its resident population and operates at 43% occupancy. Featuring fire-resistant construction, with resident rooms equipped with handicap-accessible bathrooms and generous closet space, the community is located in a moderately walkable neighborhood on South Second Street.

A combination of care services and structured programming supports daily programming, with a registered dietitian overseeing meal planning. Three meals and snacks are also served daily. Religious services, exercise programs, cognitive activities, arts and crafts, and music-based programming are also provided. Personal care assistance, housekeeping, laundry services, medical care coordination, and escort services are also available to support individual needs.

During its first year of operation, inspections identified significant concerns involving resident safety and privacy, resulting in staff termination and required reporting. Additional reviews cited deficiencies related to resident care, staffing practices, medication administration, and documentation. However, corrective measures were implemented to address these findings. Notably, the most recent state inspection reported no deficiencies, reflecting progress toward maintaining regulatory compliance.

Families exploring a newer community for rehabilitation or long-term nursing care may wish to discuss current operational procedures, staff recruitment and training practices, and safety monitoring systems with leadership.

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.
