Cathedral Village sits on East Cathedral Road in Philadelphia’s Roxborough neighborhood, part of Presbyterian Senior Living’s campus network. The 50-bed nursing unit is the clinical core of a larger continuing care community that also offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, home care, and respite stays. Jim Clancy serves as Executive Director. Chestnut Hill Hospital is 1.87 miles out, and the Walk Score of 69 puts the neighborhood in moderately walkable range.
Current occupancy in the nursing unit is 48%, with 24 of 50 beds filled and an average length of stay of 132 days. That puts Cathedral Village in mixed territory between short-stay rehab and longer-term placement.
Total nursing hours run 4 hours and 15 minutes per resident per day. Nurse aides carry 2 hours and 17 minutes of that; RNs and LPNs each contribute 41 minutes. The facility accepts Medicare and private pay.
The service line covers rehabilitation, personal care, transitional care, respite, end-of-life and comfort care, and an at-home services program for residents who move back into the community. On the amenity side, the campus includes an on-site Village College, an aquatic and fitness center, clay and fine arts studios, guest accommodations, and a beauty and barber salon. An active resident council is in place, and memory care is available on campus.
State inspections have tended to touch on areas including medication management, care planning and documentation, and dietary and food service.
