Pathways: Great Then, Better Now

Posted on: May 16, 2018

Last week, the nation celebrated Nurses Week. The profession pioneered by the likes of Clara Barton and Florence Nightingale, has led to one of the most crucial roles in healthcare today. While the need for nurses will continue to grow with the population changes of society, skilled nursing facilities must play their part in ensuring to maintain quality standards through quality nursing care, therapies, and social services.

Pathways is no different. Twenty years ago, the doors opened to a state-of-the-art Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center at The Philadelphia Protestant Home. The previous nursing center on site did not suffice for the demand at the time. Twenty years later we are celebrating the continued nursing excellence administered in Pathways. We are proud of our nurses, CNAs, supporting staff, and administration that has garnered Pathways the title of Best Nursing Home six years in a row by US News and World Report and a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.

See some highlights from our 20th anniversary celebration May 10, 2018.

 

What Residents Say

"In my nine years at PPH, I’ve grown to like it very much. At first, I felt like a stranger and then as I began to talk to people, we increasingly became good friends. A way to meet people is to join clubs. I’m now part of the PPH Auxiliary. I love helping with their flea markets because you never know what you can find. Recently, I’ve joined an evening quilting class. I love that I can continue to enjoy my life outside of PPH while experiencing the offers here.…especially the pool! Everything is just so convenient.

– Lucille Hite, Independent Living resident

What Families Say

"My mom is sooo happy at PPH, I can’t even describe it in strong enough words. She’s met so many new friends and these ladies do EVERYTHING together! She sees Dad every day in Pathways, but can have her life too. She’s gone to so many activities and I think I’ve already been to Scoops with her at least 15 times. She loves the dining room and Bistro too. My sister, Ilene, and I are so delighted that Mom is happy.......Wow, it feels like Mom’s been there about 2 years—but it’s only 2 months!! That’s how comfortable and natural it feels for her – and for all of us.

– Rhonda Frenkel, daughter of resident Bernice Segal
