Edenbrook on Second Ave: Filth Found Across Facility - PA
She was cognitively intact, the inspection record confirms. Her score on the Brief Interview for Mental Status was 15 out of 15. She knew what she was looking at.
Inspectors had arrived on September 25, 2025, responding to a complaint. What they documented over the course of a single morning walk-through was filth spread across multiple areas of the facility: lounges, hallways, resident rooms, a shared bathroom, and a common shower room.
In the B Hall lounge, two trays sat overlapping each other, both with multiple substance stains on their bases. A green rocking chair nearby had a red substance caked near the armrest, a buildup measuring two inches by four inches. The floor of the same lounge had pink and red stains.
By 10:04 in the morning, inspectors were in the Medbridge Hall hallway near the nursing station. Brown liquid stains ran along the wall. Dirt, debris, and dust had collected on the floor near the floorboards.
Three minutes later, they were inside a resident room. The window-side wall had brown-gray liquid stains. Near a tall armoire, they found dirt, debris, cobwebs, and a leaf. The bathroom connected to that room had brown substance stains on the floor and a brown smear near the shower drain.
The hallway just outside another resident room on Medbridge Hall had paper, plastic pieces, and red stains on the floor.
The shared shower room was worse. A clump of brown substance sat near the drain. Brown smears spread across the floor. Dirt, debris, dust, and stains covered multiple areas of the floor throughout the room.
The resident with COPD, a lung condition that makes breathing difficult, had been living at Edenbrook since her admission. She was among those who told inspectors directly what daily life looked like. The dirt and debris she pointed to ran along the wall near her closet.
The nursing home administrator, interviewed that same morning, confirmed to inspectors that maintaining a clean environment for residents is the facility's responsibility.
That confirmation came after inspectors had already spent an hour and a half walking the building.
The inspection was triggered by a complaint, not a routine visit. That distinction matters. Routine inspections are scheduled and anticipated. Complaint visits are not. What inspectors found on a September morning, without advance notice, was a facility where red stains had settled into lounge floors, where cobwebs had collected near a resident's armoire, where the shower room shared by multiple residents had brown smears on the floor and a clump of unknown substance near the drain.
CMS classified the harm level as minimal harm or potential for actual harm, and noted that some residents were affected. The categories are regulatory shorthand. They don't describe what it is to be a person with COPD, breathing carefully, living in a room where the wall near your closet hasn't been properly cleaned in longer than you can say exactly, only that it has been this way for a while.
The resident knew. She pointed to it herself.

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.
