Independence Rehab and Nursing

Independence Rehab and Nursing is a skilled nursing facility (SNF) in Philadelphia, PA. Skilled nursing facilities provide 24-hour medical care and supervision, rehabilitation services (physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy), and long-term custodial care for seniors who require more intensive medical support than assisted living can provide.

Independence Rehab and Nursing has a CMS Certification Number (CCN: 395330), which confirms it is certified to accept Medicare and/or Medicaid reimbursement for skilled nursing services. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay of at least 3 days, for up to 100 days under specific clinical conditions. Long-term Medicaid coverage for nursing home care is available for eligible lower-income seniors and varies by state income and asset rules.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has rated Independence Rehab and Nursing 1 out of 5 stars overall. The CMS 5-Star Quality Rating System combines three components: health inspection results (1/5), staffing levels (3/5), and quality measures (1/5). CMS updates these ratings periodically as new inspection cycle data becomes available.

According to CMS records, Independence Rehab and Nursing has received federal financial penalties totaling $350,951 across 5 penalty citations. Federal financial penalties are issued by CMS when health inspection deficiencies are not corrected within required timeframes, or when violations are severe enough to warrant immediate financial sanction. Specific penalty records are available on the CMS Care Compare portal.

The AllyKin Safety Score of 0/100 (rated "Review Required") is an educational estimate derived from publicly available government data. For nursing homes, the score incorporates CMS star ratings for health inspections, staffing, and quality measures; federal deficiency counts and their severity; financial penalties; complaint-triggered violations; whether the facility has an overdue inspection; and nursing staff turnover rates. For assisted living and memory care, the score draws from state licensing records and inspection data. This score is an educational tool — not an official government rating — and should always be used alongside the full CMS Care Compare profile and state inspection reports before making care decisions.
