Westgate Hills Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Havertown, Pennsylvania, operates as a skilled nursing facility. It delivers both short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing-home care, combining 24-hour licensed nursing coverage with on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Residents receive assistance with complex medical needs such as IV therapy, wound management, post-surgical recovery, and medication administration under physician oversight. The care team coordinates with hospitals and specialists to maintain continuity of treatment and to help residents reach achievable health goals.
Additional medical support features include an emergency call system that links each resident directly to staff at any hour. Physicians make regular rounds, and nurse practitioners are available to address emerging issues quickly. A comprehensive care-plan process engages residents, families, nurses, therapists, and social workers to review progress and adjust interventions. The facility can arrange laboratory work, diagnostic imaging, and pharmacy services on site or through established local partners, limiting the need for outside appointments and improving response times.
Resident accommodations range from private to shared rooms, and each floor offers lounge space with access to landscaped grounds and designated outdoor sitting areas. Basic housekeeping and linen services are provided, and limited parking is available for visitors. Some rooms come with direct views of the outdoor areas, but not every accommodation includes every feature, so prospective residents and families are encouraged to verify specific room layouts and amenities during their visit.
Daily dining consists of three nutritionally balanced meals prepared in-house, with menus reviewed by a registered dietitian to respect physician-ordered diets and personal preferences. Staff members are available to assist residents who require help with eating, and between-meal healthy snacks are offered to support better calorie and protein intake. The kitchen team can modify textures and portion sizes as needed for residents with swallowing issues or other clinical considerations.
Beyond direct care and dining, the facility schedules a selection of amenities and services intended to keep residents engaged. Clubs and community groups meet regularly, and an activity center hosts structured events, crafts, and entertainment. Health and wellness programs include exercise sessions adapted to varying mobility levels, while the library and computer lounge give residents quiet space to read, browse online resources, or stay in touch with family through video calls.
