Statesman Health & Rehab: Resident Rights Violation - PA
Federal inspectors who visited the facility on September 5, 2025, cited the home for failing to post that required information in a place where residents could find it. The deficiency fell under resident rights — a category that covers the basic protections nursing home residents are entitled to, regardless of what else is happening in the building.
The violation was tagged at Scope and Severity Level E, meaning inspectors found it wasn't an isolated slip. It was a pattern. No resident was documented as harmed, but inspectors determined the potential for more than minimal harm existed.
That distinction matters. A resident who doesn't know they can call the state. A resident who doesn't know an ombudsman exists. A resident who has a concern about their care and no visible path to anyone outside the facility. That's the gap the missing list creates.
Statesman was cited for five deficiencies in total during the September inspection. The full scope of what inspectors found across those five citations isn't detailed in this report, but the resident rights violation stands on its own as a window into how the facility was operating.
The facility reported correcting the posting deficiency by September 29, 2025 — 24 days after inspectors flagged it.
What the required posting is supposed to do is simple: it gives residents, and the family members and friends who visit them, a direct line to the outside world. The Pennsylvania State Survey Agency. Advocacy organizations. The Long-Term Care Ombudsman program, which exists specifically to investigate complaints from nursing home residents who feel they have nowhere else to turn. When that information isn't posted, the path to any of those resources becomes harder to find, particularly for residents who are elderly, cognitively impaired, or without family members actively monitoring their care.
Nursing homes are, by their nature, closed environments. Residents often can't leave on their own. They may depend entirely on staff for their daily needs. The required postings are one of the few built-in mechanisms that point residents toward independent oversight — toward people whose job is to listen to them, not to manage them.
Statesman Health & Rehabilitation Center sits in Levittown, a community in Bucks County. The September inspection was triggered by a complaint, meaning someone — a resident, a family member, a staff member — contacted regulators before inspectors ever walked through the door.
That detail carries its own weight. Someone felt something was wrong and found a way to report it. The inspection that followed found, among other things, that the information residents would need to do exactly that wasn't posted where they could see it.
The facility now says the posting is in place. Whether the other four deficiencies cited during the same inspection have been addressed, and what those deficiencies involved, is not reflected in this report.
What remains is the basic picture: a nursing home where residents, for some period of time, could not look at a wall and find the phone number of someone whose job was to hear their complaints. A pattern, not a one-day oversight. And a correction that took nearly a month after inspectors arrived to document the problem.

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.
