City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Number of inspections triggered by complaints or allegations. Useful for spotting facilities that receive frequent complaint-driven scrutiny.
Share of inspections that resulted in citations, expressed as a percentage of total inspections in the window.
Total count of citations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of citations this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total citations ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.
Reported profit orientation for the operator or facility (e.g. for-profit vs nonprofit), as provided in state licensing or disclosure data.
Total daily staff count from Pennsylvania inspection/licensing data (headcount snapshot), when reported.
The total number of staff employed per resident. A number greater than or = to 1 is a positive care signal.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.

Overview of The Terrace at Chestnut Hill

The Terrace at Chestnut Hill offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Philadelphia’s Chestnut Hill neighborhood. In assisted living, residents receive help with dressing, bathing, and medication while keeping a private apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care.

Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care provides a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. This range of care levels may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time, because moving between them can happen without leaving the community or starting over socially.

The community has 122 beds. Studio housing provides one private living space for a resident. A Walk Score of 64 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, so some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may still handle some nearby errands independently. Abington Senior Care operates the community.

NewSeasons at New Britain is an assisted living community in Chalfont, PA.

Overview of Waverly Heights

Waverly Heights offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing in Gladwyne, PA. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with bathing, dressing, medication management, and similar tasks. Memory care is secured and supervised for residents at risk of wandering. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Several care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since changing care needs may not require leaving the community. Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Waverly Heights may fit families seeking both long term care options and temporary support.

Souderton Mennonite Homes

207 W Summit St, Souderton, PA 18964
Overview of Souderton Mennonite Homes

Six care types are offered at Souderton Mennonite Homes in Souderton, PA. They are memory care, independent living, skilled nursing, respite care, assisted living, and nursing home care.

Across nursing home care and skilled nursing, licensed coverage doesn’t thin out after dark. Assisted living is for the resident who needs help to bathe, dress, or keep medication straight. Independent living keeps the community’s services and leaves daily care out entirely.

Memory care answers one particular danger, the risk that someone with dementia wanders, with a secured setting and people keeping watch. Respite is the short stay a family caregiver sets up to travel or to recover from something of their own. Someone who moves in for independent living and later needs memory care or skilled nursing doesn’t have to look for a new community. That range is what makes the home a fit for changing needs, and it also fits a couple moving in together or a caregiver who needs a short break.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Spread over 154 beds, the roster gives each resident 4 hours and 42 minutes of nursing per day.

The area rates as car-dependent at 31 on Walk Score, so anybody who has stopped driving will need a ride for most errands. Living space comes as studios, one-bedroom units, and two-bedroom units, and the largest size is the practical choice for two people.

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision, while nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Hospice care focuses on comfort and support for someone at the end of life. Respite care offers a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since care can continue within the community instead of requiring a move to a new setting. The community has 126 beds and is operated by Country Meadows Of Northampton Associates.

Medicare and private pay are accepted. Medicare can cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while private pay means the family pays directly for care.

A salon or spa is available, and pets are allowed, so residents may bring a pet when moving in.

Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 6 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nurse staffing time assigned to each resident. Assisted Living and Personal Care, Restorative Care, and Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation are among the specific programs available. The range of care options may be a good fit for someone who wants private living now but may need daily assistance, secured memory support, nursing care, or rehabilitation later.
