If you know of any good skilled nursing facilities/short-term rehabs in the greater Philadelphia area, please write! Thanks.

Answer 1

He's fortunate that there are several excellent rehab specialty hospitals in the Phila area including Magee and Moss Rehab in the city.  I've done a lot of work with Bryn Mawr Rehab hospital in Malvern, which was once rated among the best in the nation (sorry, not sure about current ratings).  I believe that Moss & Magee are highly rated, also.

Answer 2

My dad was in Willow Ridge Nursing & Rehab in Hatboro, Pa (Montgomery County, just outside of Philly). I was VERY impressed with them, especially their PTs. It's also just a really nice place. I believe Abington Hospital sends a lot of patients there. I'm not sure about their policy on dementia, you'll have to call and ask. Good luck.
