Kadima Rehabilitation Latrobe: Record-Keeping Failure - PA
That is the sum of what federal inspectors documented at Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing at Latrobe following a May 2025 visit. One citation. Two Pennsylvania regulatory codes. No narrative detail about which records were missing, which residents were affected, or what management did or failed to do.
The citation falls under F842, the federal tag that covers medical records and the requirement that a facility maintain complete, accurate documentation for every resident in its care. Pennsylvania's own licensing codes, cited alongside it, place the responsibility squarely on the licensee and on the facility's management structure.
What the report does not say is as significant as what it does. There are no resident names. No descriptions of what inspectors found when they looked at specific files. No explanation of how long the problem had existed or whether staff were aware of it. The citation lands on page 18 of 18 and stops.
Records in a nursing home are not paperwork for paperwork's sake. They are the thread that connects a resident's condition on one day to decisions made about their care on the next. When a nurse documents a blood pressure reading, or a physician writes an order, or a social worker notes that a family member raised a concern, those entries become the record another clinician reads before touching that resident. A gap in documentation is a gap in the chain of information that keeps people safe.
Whether any gap at Kadima reached a resident is not something the inspection report answers.
Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing at Latrobe is part of the Kadima Health Services network, which operates multiple skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities. The Latrobe location sits in Westmoreland County, a region where many residents come for short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay and where longer-term nursing care is provided to people who cannot safely return home.
The citation names Pennsylvania Code 201.14(a), which governs the responsibility of the licensee, and 201.18(e)(1), which addresses management obligations. Together, they form the regulatory backbone of how a licensed nursing home is supposed to be run: the people who own it and the people who manage it are accountable for what happens inside it. When inspectors cite both, they are saying the failure was not an isolated slip by a single employee. It ran to the level of ownership and leadership.
The inspection was completed on May 20, 2025.
A single citation from a single inspection does not define a facility. Nursing homes are inspected regularly, deficiencies are cited, and correction plans are filed. Some facilities correct problems and do not repeat them. The public record, over time, tells a fuller story.
What this inspection contributes to that record is limited by how little the report explains. A deficiency tag and two state codes, without the underlying findings that generated them, tells a reader that something was wrong with how this facility maintained its records and met its management responsibilities. It does not tell them what a resident or a family member would most want to know: whose records, and what was missing from them.
The people who live at Kadima Latrobe, or who sent a parent or spouse there to recover from a surgery or a fall, are left with the same incomplete picture.

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.
