Overview

St. Martha Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is decent and slightly above average, but not outstanding. It ranks #361 out of 653 facilities in Pennsylvania, placing it in the bottom half, and #16 out of 20 in Chester County, meaning only a few options are worse locally. The facility is improving, with issues decreasing from 6 in 2024 to 2 in 2025. However, staffing is a concern, receiving a low rating of 1 out of 5 stars, and staff turnover is high at 61%, which is above the state average. Despite having no fines on record, which is positive, the facility has less RN coverage than 97% of others in Pennsylvania, meaning residents may not receive enough oversight. Specific incidents include delays in breakfast tray delivery due to insufficient dietary staff, leading to some residents receiving meals late, and failures to obtain necessary weight measurements for several residents, which can impact nutritional status. Overall, while St. Martha has strengths in health inspections and no fines, families should be aware of staffing challenges and recent issues that need addressing.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
