Overview of Concordia at Rebecca Residence

Providing short-term rehabilitation, long-term nursing care, and personal care services, Concordia at Rebecca Residence is a skilled nursing community in Allison Park, Pennsylvania. Operated by Rebecca Residence under Concordia Lutheran Health’s stewardship, it accepts Medicare and private pay, giving families flexible coverage options. With a 91 percent occupancy rate, the 65-bed community maintains a steady population. The average stay duration of about 20 days mirrors a balance between post-acute rehabilitation residents and those in longer-term care.

The home, clinically speaking, is built for skilled nursing and rehabilitation support. Total nursing care averages 3 hours 36 minutes per resident day, with registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses present 24/7 to deliver attentive support. That level of staffing fits residents recovering from surgery or hospitalization and those handling ongoing medical needs. Daily life is structured around three chef-inspired meals served in formal or casual dining settings, and occupants can access a full roster of activities and wellness programs. The fitness center, library, arts and creativity programs, and daily cultural and social programming supply regular engagement. Practical amenities include a beauty salon, concierge services, a bar and lounge, a billiards room, and transportation for local shopping and limited medical appointments. Many apartments feature in-unit washer and dryer, reducing the need to navigate shared laundry facilities. The car-dependent facility has a Walk Score of 15, so visiting family members must plan transportation.

Themes around clinical documentation and medication management protocols have been identified by state inspections. To support safe care, the facility has addressed findings and maintains systems.

The Walk Score lands at 33 out of 100, somewhat walkable, so a few nearby services are within reach, but most errands still call for a car. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, opening up multiple ways for families to cover costs.

Skilled nursing, wound care, and orthopedic rehabilitation are all part of the service list, backed by registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses. A medical director checks in monthly, and discharge support is available when a resident is ready to transition elsewhere. There’s also a named program worth noting: the Family Matters Program, built specifically around keeping residents and families connected.

Beyond the clinical piece, residents have lounges and activity areas to use, plus religious services, recreational programming, and organized trips off-site.

What shows is a large, high-occupancy facility spanning five care types, with real clinical depth in rehab and nursing, and a structured effort toward keeping families in the loop rather than leaving that to chance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Pennsylvania

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Pennsylvania?

Assisted living in Pennsylvania is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. 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 nursing home care?

Yes — Pennsylvania Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 183 nursing homes in Pennsylvania. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Pennsylvania?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Pennsylvania, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Pennsylvania?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
