Healthcare Facility
Spring Hill Rehabilitation And Nursing Center
Pittsburgh, PA  ·  1/5 stars

That detail came from the facility's own administrator and director of nursing, who confirmed it to inspectors on December 18.

The same day, the director of nursing confirmed a second failure: the facility could no longer get lab work done on its residents. LabCorp had stopped processing orders. The reason was the same. There was an outstanding bill.

A federal inspection completed December 23 found that the governing body of Spring Hill had failed to manage the basic financial operations of the facility, leaving more than 30 vendors unpaid, some since as early as June 1 of this year. The total owed, based on the accounts payable ledger reviewed by inspectors covering June through November 2025, runs to roughly $2.7 million.

The ledger tells a story of a facility that stopped paying for nearly everything it needs to function. Electricity. Water. Medications. Nurses.

Duquesne Light, the electric utility, is owed $4,235.67, with the last payment made October 15. The water company is owed $48,745.89, last paid October 13. Comcast, which provides internet and communications services, is owed $1,269.59, last paid October 13.

The pharmacy bill is the single largest line item in the ledger. PharMerica, which supplies medications to residents, is owed $613,420.90. The last payment was October 31. TwinMed LLC, a medical supply company, is owed $562,941.34, with a last payment dated November 20. Together, those two vendors alone account for more than $1.1 million.

Staffing costs dominate the rest of the ledger. FabStaffing Nursing is owed $1,116,194, with a last payment on October 30. Homeaides Inc. is owed $101,702.20, last paid October 15. Integrated Medical Facilities is owed $76,727.96, last paid September 20. Eshyft/Shiftsstar LLC, another staffing company, is owed $76,152.87, with the last payment made August 20.

The facility also owes $9,032.77 to LabCorp, the lab company that stopped processing orders, with the last payment dated June 28. Steel Valley Ambulance is owed $4,099, last paid June 1. The transportation company that stopped transporting residents to medical appointments does not appear to be named separately in the ledger, but the administrator and director of nursing confirmed the situation directly.

Some of the unpaid balances are smaller but no less telling. Ecolab, which typically handles sanitation and infection control supplies, is owed $664.88, last paid June 1. Ehrlich, a pest control company, is owed $343.44, also last paid June 1. Cellone's Bakery is owed $410.46. Klosterman Baking Company is owed $430.81. Both bakeries last received payment in the fall. The facility's employee benefits carrier, Aflac, is owed $601.90, last paid June 1.

Point Click Care, the electronic health records platform used to document resident care, is owed $31,846.62, with the last payment made September 1. UPMC Health Plan is owed $50,288.58, last paid October 27. People's, listed without further description in the ledger, is owed $46,994.29, last paid October 19.

Inspectors cited the facility under Pennsylvania codes governing the responsibility of the licensee and the management obligations of the governing body. The violation was tagged at a level of harm described as minimal harm or potential for actual harm, and listed as affecting many residents.

That classification does not account for the three residents who ended up in the hospital.

Their names are not in the inspection report. The inspection record does not say what appointments they missed before the transportation stopped, or what happened to them after they were admitted. It does not say whether the lab results that could not be obtained because of the LabCorp debt were routine screenings or something a physician had ordered because a resident was declining.

What the record shows is that by December 18, the administrator and director of nursing already knew about both problems and confirmed them without apparent dispute. Five days later, on December 23, they were informed formally that the facility had failed.

The accounts payable ledger ends in November. The inspection was conducted in December. The gap between what was owed and what had been paid was still growing.
