St. John Neumann Center offers nursing home and skilled nursing care, memory care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care in Philadelphia, PA. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice and palliative care focus on comfort and symptom management, and respite care provides a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
The community has 226 beds and was established in 1965. Its short term rehabilitation services support recovery after an illness, injury, or hospital stay, so rehabilitation arrangements do not need to be made elsewhere. A private room or private suite gives a resident a private living space.
Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 42 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident. Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Medicare can apply to short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while Medicaid may help when savings do not cover a long stay.
St. John Neumann Center is in the Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood and has a rehab center, outdoor gardens and courtyards, a beauty salon and barber shop, a chapel, and a meditation room. Catholic religious services, devotional programming, educational and social activities, and group trips to local restaurants and stores give residents structured options for worship, learning, recreation, and outings. A Walk Score of 66 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach certain nearby destinations independently. The range of care can suit a resident whose needs may change over time while remaining within the same community.
