Overview of Artman Lutheran Home

Situated on Bethlehem Pike in Ambler, Pennsylvania, Artman Lutheran Home is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation community operated by Artman Lutheran Home under owner Paul Engstrom. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover both short-term rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care.

The 136-bed community has an occupancy rate of 73%. Residents stay an average of 35 days. The population is a mix of people recovering through short-term post-acute rehabilitation and those needing ongoing skilled nursing support.

Nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 26 minutes of nursing care each day. This includes 1 hour and 13 minutes of care from registered nurses. The level of staffing supports direct clinical oversight and hands-on daily care.

Rehabilitation services, respite care, short-term rehabilitation programs, and personal care support are offered in the facility. These services make the home a great option for residents recovering from surgery, illness, or a hospital stay.

State inspections by the Pennsylvania Department of Health have identified areas involving safety, staffing requirements, sanitary conditions, and care quality. The facility is working through these findings as part of its plan of correction process. Families visiting the community should ask how these areas are managed and how they track improvements.

The home is located in a very walkable neighborhood with a Walk Score of 90. Visiting family members can easily get around the surrounding area while walking.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 1h 13m per day ▲ 56% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 56m per day ■ Avg State avg: 55m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 59m per day ▲ 77% State avg: 33m per day · National avg: 28m per day
