Greenwood Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation sits near St. Luke's Hospital - Miners Campus, just 13 minutes away, and it's part of the David Gamzeh & Gabriel Sebbag chain, with ownership by Apostrophe Opco LLC and other indirect owners like Cedar View Holdings LLC and Samara Family Holdings LLC, though there's no available information about who manages daily work there or who's in charge of the staff. The facility's got 150 certified beds-97 residents were living there as of March 2025, leaving about 52 beds open as of May. The occupancy rate comes out to about 65%, and it offers both short-term rehab and long-term care services, so folks needing help between hospital and home or those needing ongoing help can stay. The building includes private and semiprivate rooms, all with wireless internet, along with housekeeping, a barbershop and beauty salon, a large gathering room for activities, and regular church services each week, while residents can join group trips for shopping and sightseeing or take part in classes or daily activities. The grounds stay well-kept, with indoor and outdoor spaces for residents to enjoy. That's alongside meals described as nutritious and healthy, and optional private rooms for those that want more privacy.
The 2,000-square-foot therapy gym comes with advanced equipment, and the care team includes certified therapists offering physical, occupational, and speech therapy, all within the facility's restorative care program. The Skilled Nursing Facility provides nursing home care as well as skilled and intermediate care for those who need more support, and the clinical team works together to offer an integrated approach between nursing and therapy. Nursing and rehab services are on site, with nurse staffing hours per resident per day at 2.95, though the nurse turnover rate is 66.2%, which means staff changes happen often.
Performance-wise, Greenwood Center has seen mixed results. The facility's dropped to a 2-star overall rating in the latest evaluation, which is below average, having historically hovered at a 4-star overall, which is below the state average. The ratings break down as 4th star in staffing, reflecting below-average staffing, 3rd star in quality measures, so it's about average there, and it's got a 2nd star in health inspections, meaning inspections turned up more issues than most. Medicare and Medicaid have issued several fines since January 2011, totaling $122,897.00 for violations, and there have been 58 documented deficiencies over time, including a recent standard inspection on April 16, 2025, that listed ten deficiencies, most notably about not having enough nursing staff, missing a licensed nurse for every shift, and not always making sure residents' needs and treatments match their written care plans and preferences or medical orders.
There's no shortage of services offered, with skilled nursing, rehabilitation, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy all available. The facility takes in new patients regardless of the fines and keeps focus on resident well-being through its therapy and restorative care programs. Meals are prepared on site and the community aims to offer comfort along with medical care, building a sense of friendship among the folks who live there. Local hospitals like Lehigh Valley Hospital - Hazleton, Schuylkill Medical Center - South Jackson Street, and St Luke's Hospital - Lehighton are close by in case a resident needs more acute hospital care. While the staff is described as warm and caring, the facts show that the facility's ratings and inspection history don't put it near the top among nearby options, but it's still working with a range of services, amenities, and programs to support residents day to day.
