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.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Standout metric Weekend RN is +77% above state avg
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. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 56m per day ▲ 33% State avg: 2h 12m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 4h 32m per day ▲ 29% State avg: 3h 31m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 10m per day ▲ 65% State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day
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
