Inspection History

In Pennsylvania, the Department of Human Services (for assisted living facilities) and the Department of Health (for nursing homes) conduct unannounced inspections to verify adherence to state regulations.

Waivers Info A higher number of waivers may indicate the facility relies on staff who don't fully meet standard credential requirements. A lower number may suggest the facility meets staffing qualification standards without exemptions.

This Facility PA Average vs. PA Avg
  • Waivers are Pennsylvania Department of Health exemptions that let a facility operate outside required staffing ratios or staff credential rules. A higher count can signal that the facility regularly relies on exceptions — for example, fewer nursing hours per resident or staff who don't fully meet qualification standards — which may affect day-to-day care.

Roxborough Home for Women Reviews

Athenae Evans (Administrator)
What truly sets Roxborough Home for Women apart is our legacy of care. Since 1887, we have been serving women with dignity, compassion, and respect in a nurturing, homelike environment. For nearly 140 years, our mission has remained the same: to provide high-quality personal care services while preserving each resident's independence, individuality, and sense of belonging. Unlike many senior living communities, we are a personal care home not an assisted living facility. Our residents remain as independent as possible, and our dedicated staff is here to provide support whenever it is needed. We offer private rooms, home-cooked meals, medication management, laundry services, light housekeeping, and assistance with daily personal care, all within a warm and welcoming community. What our residents often appreciate most is that Roxborough Home for Women truly feels like home. Relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Our caring staff and dedicated volunteers create meaningful opportunities for companionship, activities, celebration, and connection. We believe every woman who walks through our doors is a unique and valued member of our family, and that philosophy extends to our staff, volunteers, and the broader community as well. Our commitment to treating every individual with dignity while fostering independence has been the foundation of our mission since 1887. That enduring legacy continues to guide us today, making Roxborough Home for Women not simply a place to live, but a place where women are known, supported, and genuinely cared for.
