Mountain City Rehab: Failed to Report Assault - MD
The citation, recorded under deficiency tag F0580, was rated at the lowest level of harm, meaning inspectors determined the lapse caused minimal harm or carried potential for actual harm to a small number of residents. The inspection was conducted in response to a complaint.
Physician notification failures matter because they sit at the center of how nursing homes are supposed to work. A doctor cannot order new medication, adjust a treatment plan, or send a resident to the hospital without first knowing something has changed. When that call does not happen, the resident waits.
The inspection report does not describe which residents were affected, what changes went unreported, or how long the gap in communication lasted before inspectors arrived. The record is thin.
What it does establish is that someone at Mountain City Rehab, on at least one occasion involving at least one resident, did not pick up the phone.
Mountain City Rehab Center operates at 48 Tarn Terrace in Frostburg, a small city in the mountains of western Maryland. The facility's plan of correction for the violation is available through the nursing home directly or through the Maryland state survey agency.
The resident whose condition changed, and whether their situation worsened in the time it took for anyone to notice the call had not been made, is not something the inspection report addresses.
