Cranberry Place: Resident Rights Violations - PA
Cranberry Place failed to provide required treatments to Resident R156 on December 26, 2025, during the evening shift, according to the facility's own treatment records reviewed by state inspectors. The resident's doctor had ordered pressure ulcer prevention treatments twice daily — morning and evening shifts — with instructions to report any decline in wound care.
The facility's Director of Nursing confirmed the violation during a January 30 interview at 9:48 a.m., admitting that Cranberry Place failed to provide the pressure ulcer prevention treatments as ordered for Resident R156.
The problems extended beyond one resident.
During a second interview that same afternoon at 3:00 p.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that the facility failed to properly monitor, assess, and provide necessary services to prevent pressure ulcers and wounds from developing for two of three residents examined — Residents R83 and R156.
State inspectors classified the violations as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting few residents. The inspection was triggered by a complaint filed against the facility.
Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, develop when sustained pressure cuts off blood flow to skin and underlying tissue. They commonly affect bedridden or wheelchair-bound residents and can become life-threatening if left untreated. Prevention typically involves regular repositioning, specialized mattresses, and wound care protocols.
The missed treatments violated Pennsylvania nursing home regulations requiring facilities to ensure residents receive necessary care to prevent pressure ulcers and wounds. The violations also breached state nursing service requirements mandating proper resident monitoring and assessment.
Cranberry Place operates at 5 Saint Francis Way in Cranberry Township.
