Parkhouse Receives Five-Star Rating

ROYERSFORD — A newly released national rating system for nursing homes has awarded its highest ranking to Parkhouse Providence Pointe, which is owned and operated by Montgomery County.

Parkhouse received five stars out of five from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in a Zagat-like rating system it unveiled last week.

Only 11 percent of nursing care facilities in Pennsylvania received the highest rating. A link to the rating system can be found at www.cms.hhs.gov.

Parkhouse Providence Pointe, formerly known as the Montgomery County Geriatric and Rehabilitation Center, is a 470-bed nursing facility dedicated to providing the highest level of individualized health care to its residents.

The scores in the rating system are based on health inspections, staffing and quality measures, including how well a nursing home responds to residents' declining mobility, high-risk bed sores and other health concerns.

Parkhouse is located on almost 300 acres of beautiful rolling farmland along Route 113 in Royersford, Montgomery County. Also on the Campus are Riverview Adult Day Services and Montgomery Meadows Independent Living Apartments. To access Parkhouse’s website please go to http://parkhouse.montcopa.org/.
