Kendal at Longwood is a 78-bed nursing home in Kennett Square, in the rolling farm country of Chester County, Pennsylvania. It accepts Medicare and private pay, giving families various routes to cover care. Operated by Kendal-Crosslands Communities, Inc, under owner Edward Plasha, the home typically runs at around 53 percent occupancy, averaging a stay length of 129 days.

The facility emphasizes skilled rehabilitation services, respite care, and long-term nursing support. With a doctor on staff and 24-hour staffing, the community supports residents through recovery and daily care needs. Overall, residents receive roughly 7 hours and 24 minutes of nursing care each day, denoting consistent access to clinical support and hands-on help with daily activities. The setting is notable for its breadth of amenities and lifestyle options that transcend typical nursing home offerings. Inside, the community features a full dining room and cafe, a library, art studios, a well-equipped fitness center with instructors, and an indoor pool. The grounds include an accredited arboretum, a certified wildlife habitat, 6 miles of walking trails, a fenced dog park, and courts for tennis and pickleball. There’s also a meditation room, computer lab, bank, gift shop, and community gardens. The location’s walkability rates 83 out of 100, so most errands can be handled on foot, and family visitors will find the surrounding area easy to navigate.

Health department state inspections have confirmed the home’s management responsiveness. Surprise monitoring visits have found no deficiencies, and renewal inspections have documented corrections to food protection and medical evaluation processes. This pattern portrays an active commitment to maintaining care standards.

Seeing the physical space firsthand and conversing with current residents and families can be especially beneficial for residents and families weighing a nursing home choice. Doing so helps them obtain a sense of daily life and the programming breadth that distinguishes one community from another.

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 27m per day ▲ 85% 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. 1h 30m per day ▲ 64% 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. 52m per day ▲ 59% State avg: 33m per day · National avg: 28m per day
