Overview

Green Meadows Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. It ranks #46 out of 653 facilities in Pennsylvania, placing it in the top half, and #2 out of 20 in Chester County, suggesting only one local option is rated higher. The facility is improving, with a decrease in issues from three in 2024 to one in 2025. Staffing receives a 3 out of 5 stars rating, with a turnover rate of 49%, which is average and similar to the state average of 46%. Notably, there have been no fines recorded, which is a positive sign. However, there are some concerns, including less RN coverage than 89% of Pennsylvania facilities, which could impact the quality of care. Specific incidents noted include the failure to properly store food items, with opened bags of pasta not labeled or sealed, and there were delays in assessing and treating pressure wounds for two residents, which led to a decline in one resident's condition. Additionally, insulin vials were found undated, which poses a risk for medication management. Overall, while the facility shows strengths in certain areas, these weaknesses should be carefully considered by families.

Weight fluctuations difficult to explain, some error may be a cause as well as prolonged hospitalization and fluid shifts may be a factor with surgery and new J-tube. Currently, res. is at a desirable weight and goal would be to stabilize at this time. Review of Resident 20's hospitalizations revealed the resident went to the hospital August 31, 2022, and returned the same day due to j-tube dislodgement.
