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.
