CareQED Analysis

Independence Rehab and Nursing is a 255-bed nursing home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It holds a 1-star CMS overall rating. Total nurse staffing is 3.6 hours per resident day, below the Pennsylvania average of 3.9. Its most recent inspection, in March 2026, cited 1 deficiency, one of them severe. CMS has flagged this facility with an abuse icon.

There are concerning signals here — a recent severe deficiency and an official abuse flag, along with below-average nurse staffing, so it's worth asking how the facility prevents and responds to abuse and how it meets residents’ behavioral-health needs. One potential plus is that it operates as a larger nursing and rehab campus, which can mean more on-site resources, though you should confirm what specific services are available.
