Overview of Oakwood Residence

Oakwood Residence opened about a year ago on Red Lion Road in Northeast Philadelphia, a very walkable stretch of the city (Walk Score 71) where most errands are reachable on foot and Jefferson Torresdale Hospital sits 2.5 miles away. The single-story building at 2109 Red Lion Rd holds 89 beds and carries care across three levels: nursing home care, assisted living, and respite stays.

Occupancy currently sits at 42%, with 37 of 89 beds filled and an average length of stay of 96 days. That average puts the resident mix squarely in short-stay territory.

Total nursing hours run 3 hours and 56 minutes per resident per day. LPNs account for 59 minutes of that; registered nurses and nurse aides each contribute 33 minutes. It’s an LPN-forward staffing structure for a facility at this stage of operation.

An active resident council meets regularly, and the facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, covering the full range of coverage pathways.

For families in Northeast Philadelphia navigating a post-acute discharge or a short-term respite placement, Oakwood Residence offers a newer single-story setting with full payment flexibility and nursing-level care in a walkable part of the city. The low current occupancy means there is room.

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover assisted living?

Pennsylvania Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Pennsylvania) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
