BROOMALL–Broomall Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is a long-term care and short-term physical rehabilitation facility that also offers hospice care. It offers services for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients as well as nutritional support, pain and wound management, pulmonary specialty services and more.

The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services filed a survey report on Broomall Rehabilitation and Nursing Center on Oct. 21, 2011. 

Broomall Rehabilitation and Nursing Center was given a severity grade of D to G, based on 11 situations, on a scale from A to L, with A being the least serious and L being the most serious. 

A severity score of D through F means no actual harm was done, but there is the potential for minimal harm that does not impose immediate jeopardy, according to Medicare. A severity score of G means actual harm had occurred but it does not pose an immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety, and the deficiency was determined isolated.
