Havencrest Rehab: Infection Control Gap Found - PA
The inspection was a complaint survey. When investigators reviewed the job descriptions for both positions, the problem was plain. The Director of Nursing is responsible for planning, organizing, and directing the overall operation of the nursing department. The Infection Control Preventionist, a separate role with its own job description, is responsible for coordinating and directing the infection control program in accordance with federal, state, and local standards — at all times.
One person had been doing both since early September.
During an interview at 9:08 a.m. on September 30, the interim DON told inspectors that the facility had just placed a Licensed Practical Nurse in the infection control role and that the LPN was trained. But she acknowledged that until that point, she herself had been acting as the infection control nurse. She confirmed directly that the facility had failed to designate a qualified individual responsible for implementing infection prevention and control programs.
The violation was cited under Pennsylvania nursing home regulations governing nursing services, with a harm level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting some residents.
There is no indication in the inspection record of how many weeks passed before the LPN placement was made, or whether any infection-related incidents occurred during the gap. The facility's plan of correction was not included in the documents made available.

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.
