About Nursing Home Care in Willow Grove
WILLOW GROVE is a challenging market for nursing home care. Families should approach with caution, as the overall quality of facilities is average at best. The standout is Willow Grove Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, but even this facility does not fully meet the standards we would ideally recommend. While there are no facilities with major red flags, the options are limited, and families may want to explore nearby cities for better alternatives.
If you are set on WILLOW GROVE, Willow Grove Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is worth a visit. One concrete strength is its clean record, boasting zero fines over the past three years. However, it's important to note that it still lacks some of the hallmarks of a top-tier facility, such as non-profit status or a 5-star CMS rating. Families seeking better care should consider facilities in nearby towns like Abington or Jenkintown, where options may provide a higher standard of care.
While there are no specific facilities to outright avoid in WILLOW GROVE, the lack of strong choices means families should remain vigilant. Always look for recent reviews and speak to residents’ families during your visit. A practical tip: ensure you tour the facility during meal times to gauge the quality of food and social interaction among residents. This can provide valuable insight into the home’s daily life and overall care environment.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions

0 Willow Grove facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: An All For-Profit Market
Willow Grove has no non-profit nursing homes—all 1 facility with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 1 of 1 facility is chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.
