About Us
Chestnut Knoll At Home Services began in 2003 to meet the growing population of older adults needing non-medical assistance with everyday tasks while living in their own homes. Our office is centrally located at 1041 E. Philadelphia Ave., Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania. We are licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and are both an approved waiver and options provider through the Pennsylvania Department of Aging in Berks, Montgomery and Chester counties. Chestnut Knoll At Home Services is also an approved provider through the Veterans program and able to accept long-term care insurances.
I started working as a home health aide for Chestnut Knoll At Home right after I graduated high school. At the time, I didn’t know how much I was going to enjoy this job. I ended up staying with Chestnut Knoll At Home for over four years. This job is actually what made me realize I wanted to become a nurse!
