Serving Montgomery County residents through personal care, memory support, skilled nursing and rehabilitation, home care, and care management, Waverly Heights operates as an 82-bed nonprofit Life Plan Community in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. Waverly Senior Services manages the community, which accepts Medicare and private pay. Staffing is the facility’s defining strength. Nurse staffing averages 6 hours and 15 minutes per resident per day, placing Waverly Heights 9th out of 203 skilled nursing facilities statewide, a level of direct-care coverage that significantly exceeds the Pennsylvania norm. Across six inspections from 2021 to 2024, the facility averaged 6 deficiencies per year, roughly 28% above the state average of 4.7. The most recent renewal, in October 2024, cited 8 deficiencies tied to medication management, record confidentiality, and documentation practices; all corrective plans were accepted and implemented by December 2024. A May 2023 renewal closed with zero citations. No fines, Immediate Jeopardy findings, or substantiated complaints appear in the inspection record. The campus is built around an active, residential lifestyle. Outdoor amenities include a putting green, pool, dog park, and working greenhouse, along with bocce courts, a walking path, and an outdoor dining patio. Memory support and respite care are available on-site. The facility’s current occupancy rate is 70%, below Pennsylvania’s average of 78.7%, indicating near-term availability for families planning a transition. Waverly Heights fits older adults and their families who are planning a long-term care continuum on a single campus, particularly those prioritizing high staffing ratios and a lifestyle-forward residential setting in the western Philadelphia suburbs
Waverly Heights is legally operated by Waverly Heights Ltd.
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.
