INN AT FREEDOM VILLAGE,THE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
The Inn at Freedom Village has a Trust Grade of B+, which means it is above average and recommended for families seeking care. It ranks #185 out of 653 nursing homes in Pennsylvania, placing it in the top half of facilities in the state, and #10 of 20 in Chester County, indicating that only nine local options are better. However, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend in quality, with issues increasing from one in 2023 to two in 2024. Staffing is a strong point, with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 39%, which is below the Pennsylvania average of 46%. Importantly, the facility has no fines on record, which is a positive sign. However, there are some concerns: a resident went five days without a bowel movement before receiving treatment, and insulin vials were not properly labeled, which could lead to medication errors. Additionally, two residents did not receive timely wound treatment upon admission, highlighting areas that need improvement. Overall, while there are strengths in staffing and no fines, families should be aware of the recent concerns raised in inspections.
