GREENSBURG, PA - Redstone Highlands Health Care received three deficiency citations during an April 2025 complaint investigation, including a finding that the facility failed to protect a resident from abuse resulting in actual harm, according to federal inspection records.
The complaint investigation, conducted on April 8, 2025, came just weeks after state surveyors had already documented 12 deficiencies during a separate standard health inspection on March 20, 2025. Combined, the 77-bed non-profit facility at 6 Garden Center Drive accumulated 15 citations across both surveys.
Abuse Protection Violation Leads Complaint Findings
The most significant finding from the complaint inspection was a citation under F0600, which requires facilities to protect each resident from all types of abuse, including physical, mental, and sexual abuse, as well as neglect. The deficiency was rated at scope and severity level G, indicating that actual harm occurred to at least one resident in an isolated incident.
A scope/severity rating of G is among the more serious classifications in the federal enforcement system. Levels A through D indicate potential for harm, while levels E through L confirm that actual harm or immediate jeopardy occurred. The facility was given a correction date of April 28, 2025, indicating this remained an active deficiency requiring remediation.
Failure to protect residents from abuse represents a fundamental obligation of any skilled nursing facility. Federal regulations under 42 CFR 483.12 mandate that facilities develop and implement written policies prohibiting abuse and establish procedures for investigating and reporting all allegations.
Care Planning and Safety Deficiencies
The complaint investigation also identified two additional deficiencies classified as past non-compliance, meaning the facility had already corrected the issues by the time of the survey:
F0656 (Care Plan Development) - The facility failed to develop and implement a complete care plan meeting all of a resident's needs, with measurable timetables and actions. A comprehensive care plan is essential for coordinating treatments, therapies, and daily assistance across an interdisciplinary team.
F0689 (Accident Hazards) - The facility failed to ensure the environment remained free from accident hazards and that adequate supervision was provided to prevent accidents. This citation was also referenced under 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(5), Pennsylvania's state nursing services regulation.
Pattern of Deficiencies Across Multiple Inspections
The March 20, 2025 standard health inspection had already revealed widespread compliance issues at the facility, including:
- Failure to respond appropriately to abuse allegations (F610) - Multiple care planning and assessment deficiencies (F641, F655, F656, F657, F658) - Inadequate treatment and care delivery (F684, severity level E) - Pharmacy service failures including drug storage violations (F755, F761) - Food safety violations (F812) - Hospice service arrangement failures (F849) - Infection control deficiencies (F880)
