Complete Care at Berkshire: Filth Found Facility-Wide - PA
The visit covered all four nursing units, First West, First North, Second West, and Second North, and turned up environmental problems in nearly every common space and corridor inspectors entered.
In the first floor lounge, wallpaper had peeled away from the wall above the television, exposing a black area underneath. The wall near the window showed multiple black circular marks. Down the hallway, dried brown liquid had accumulated in at least five separate stretches of wall, with black marks running along them. The tops of wooden wall trim held a layer of dried dark substance. Two stained ceiling tiles hung above.
The chapel on the second floor had dried brown liquid above the trim in a corner near the entrance, peeling wallpaper near the window, and marring across the wallpaper trim throughout the room.
In resident bathrooms, toilet bowls had black stains under the rim.
The second floor hallways added more: hair stuck to the wallpaper outside a public bathroom, four brown lines on a wall, a stained ceiling tile across from the conference room, and three brown spots on the wall near the central bathroom. A chair in an alcove had a stained back cushion. A plastic nameplate cover outside one room was broken, leaving jagged edges exposed. A piece of the handrail next to another room was missing entirely.
Inspectors rated the harm level as minimal, meaning no resident was documented as injured. The violations were cited under Pennsylvania codes covering licensee responsibility and facility management.
The conditions were found during a complaint inspection, meaning someone had already raised concerns before investigators arrived.

Additional Resources
Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
Professional review: All content reviewed by Christopher F. Nesbitt, Sr., NH EMT & BU-trained Paralegal.
