Cranberry Place: Resident Rights Violations - PA

Healthcare Facility
Cranberry Place
Cranberry Township, PA  ·  1/5 stars

The call light had gone off twice. The first time, it ran for 22 minutes. The second time, 26. A monitor at the nurses' desk showed both times clearly. When inspectors arrived on January 29, the resident, identified in the report as Resident R151, told them what they needed: the indwelling foley catheter, a thin tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine, had something wrong with it and needed to be adjusted.

RN Employee E7, interviewed at 11:30 that morning, confirmed what the monitor showed. The times were accurate. Nobody disputed them.

The Director of Nursing confirmed later that afternoon that the facility had failed to maintain sufficient nursing staff, and the evidence ran well beyond one resident's unanswered light. Inspectors found staffing shortfalls reflected in a quarter of the facility's own staffing data, two of three Resident Council meetings held in November 2025 and January 2026, and six of seven residents interviewed in a separate group meeting. Grievance records for January 2026 showed the same pattern. Five of ten residents observed during the inspection, including R151, were affected.

The staffing failures were documented across multiple state code violations covering nursing services, resident care policies, and management responsibilities.

Resident R151's catheter problem was not a complex medical emergency. It was the kind of thing that gets handled in minutes, under ordinary circumstances, by a staff member who is there. On January 29, nobody was.
