Mountain City Rehab: 9 Deficiencies, No Fix Plan - MD

Healthcare Facility
Mountain City Rehab Center
Frostburg, MD  ·  1/5 stars

A November 2025 complaint inspection at the 48 Tarn Terrace facility resulted in a federal citation under F0580, which covers a nursing home's obligation to notify physicians and other responsible parties when a resident experiences a significant change in condition. Inspectors determined the harm was minimal, and the problem affected few residents.

The citation emerged from a complaint, meaning someone, likely a family member or resident, raised the concern directly before inspectors arrived.

What the record doesn't show is how long the gap lasted between when something changed and when anyone outside the building found out. It doesn't name the residents affected, or describe what changed for them, or whether the delay in notification altered what happened next. The inspection report, as filed, runs to 44 pages. This citation sits on page four.

Mountain City Rehab Center is a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility operating under provider number 215277. The November inspection was a complaint survey, not a routine annual review, which means the notification failures documented here came to light because someone outside the facility raised an alarm.

For residents whose families live at a distance, or whose medical decisions rest with a designated representative, the gap between a change in condition and a phone call is not a paperwork problem. It is the window in which decisions get made without the people who are supposed to make them.
