Pinecrest Manor: Assessment Accuracy Failures - PA

Healthcare Facility
Pinecrest Manor
St Marys, PA  ·  4/5 stars

Federal inspectors documented the gap during a January 30 visit to the 763 Johnsonburg Road facility. The resident, identified in records only as Resident R7, carried a complicated medical profile: diabetes, atrial fibrillation, and schizoaffective disorder. A physician had ordered Novolog insulin back in October, 12 units every morning with breakfast, 12 units every afternoon with lunch, 10 units every evening, and additional doses according to a sliding scale at meals and bedtime. The facility's own assessment records confirmed R7 had been receiving those injections throughout the fall.

No care plan existed for any of it.

A care plan is the document that coordinates how a nursing home manages a resident's ongoing medical needs, setting measurable goals and timelines so that every staff member working with that person understands what the treatment requires. Pinecrest Manor's own policy, updated in November 2025, described exactly that obligation.

When inspectors interviewed the facility's Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator on the morning of January 30, she confirmed the care plan had never been developed to address R7's insulin use. The finding affected one of 24 residents whose records inspectors reviewed. CMS rated the harm level as minimal.

The insulin order had been in place for three months before inspectors arrived.
