Aventura at Terrace View: Management Failures Cited - PA
Aventura at Terrace View received both citations following a federal health inspection completed March 28, 2025.
The first, tagged F607, concerns abuse prevention. The citation tracks to a requirement that nursing homes develop and implement written policies and procedures that prohibit abuse, neglect, exploitation, and mistreatment of residents. It is not a peripheral requirement. It is among the first things inspectors look for, because everything else, the quality of wound care, the accuracy of medication administration, the dignity of daily interactions, rests on whether a facility has built a culture that takes harm to residents seriously.
The second citation, F838, goes to the facility's own assessment of itself. Under that tag, a nursing home is required to conduct and document a facility-wide assessment that accounts for its resident population, its staffing, its resources, and its capabilities. The assessment is meant to be a living document, one that reflects who is actually living in the building and what they actually need. When it is missing or inadequate, the facility is, in a meaningful sense, operating without a map.
Together, the two citations point to something more troubling than a single procedural lapse. They suggest a facility where the governing structure, the oversight that the licensee is legally responsible for maintaining, was not functioning as it should.
Pennsylvania's nursing home regulations assign direct responsibility to the licensee. Under 28 Pa. Code 201.14(a), the licensee bears accountability for the operation of the facility, for the welfare of its residents, and for ensuring that the home complies with applicable law. Under 28 Pa. Code 201.18(b)(1) and (e)(2), management is required to implement policies and maintain administrative controls that protect residents and govern operations.
The inspection report does not describe what inspectors found when they looked for evidence of those controls. It does not name a resident who was harmed, or a staff member who failed to act, or a specific incident that triggered the review. The narrative is spare to the point of silence. What it records is the conclusion: the citations were issued, the violations were found, and the facility reached the last page of a 43-page inspection report with two of its most basic obligations unmet.
That sparseness is its own kind of information. Inspectors who find a single documentation gap in an otherwise well-run facility tend to produce reports with context, with corrective actions already underway, with management responses woven into the findings. A citation that lands on the final page of a lengthy inspection, stripped of explanatory narrative, often means the problem was self-evident enough that little explanation was required.
Aventura at Terrace View is a licensed nursing facility in Peckville, a borough in Lackawanna County in northeastern Pennsylvania. The March inspection was a standard health survey. The citations it produced carry regulatory weight under both federal and state frameworks.
For residents and their families, the two tags represent something more immediate than regulatory categories. F607 asks whether the facility has built the structures to prevent someone from being abused, neglected, or exploited while in its care. F838 asks whether the people running the facility understand, in documented and specific terms, what their residents need and whether they have the resources to provide it.
The inspection found that, on both counts, the answer required correction.
What happens next, whether the facility revises its policies, retrains its staff, rebuilds its assessment process, or whether the citations become a footnote in a longer pattern of deficiencies, is not recorded in this report. The report ends where it ends, on page 43, with the violations noted and the residents still living there.

Additional Resources
Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
