Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Rydal Park of Philadelphia is a large, upscale Life Plan Community that receives high praise for its Independent Living cottages, well-maintained grounds, and active social environment. However, families of residents in the medical, rehab, and assisted living units frequently report significant concerns regarding understaffing, slow response times to call lights, and inconsistent communication from administration. While many residents enjoy the amenities, those requiring higher levels of care should be prepared to be highly involved in monitoring their loved one's daily needs.

Key Review Excerpts
“The medical center is horrible. If your loved one is there for rehab you better be there every day to assure that care is provided. If your loved one needs assistance to ambulate it can be a long time before a call light is answered.”
“My family member came to Rydal Park after having hip surgery. She is impressed and so am I! The facility is extremely nice, it is immaculate and they have great food.”
“Rydal Park is good for Independent Living but once residents require assisted living the level of care drops considerably.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
