Mt Macrina Manor: Infection Control Program Fails - PA
State inspectors responding to a complaint confirmed the facility's Director of Nursing acknowledged both violations during a January 29th interview. The nursing home never reported the outbreak to state authorities as required.
Two registered nurse employees, identified as E1 and E2, returned to work before completing the isolation period specified by Pennsylvania Department of Health guidelines. Both had direct access to residents while potentially still infectious.
The violations affected seven residents, designated R1 through R7 in inspection records. All were exposed to an environment that failed basic infection control standards during an active COVID outbreak.
The facility's Director of Nursing confirmed to inspectors at 10:15 a.m. on January 29th that the nursing home "failed to ensure an environment free from the potential spread of infection" for all seven affected residents and two of three employees reviewed.
State regulators cited the facility for violating multiple sections of Pennsylvania health code, including requirements for licensee responsibility, management oversight, resident care policies, and nursing services standards.
The inspection found the facility violated basic infection control protocols designed to protect vulnerable nursing home residents from COVID-19 transmission. The outbreak went unreported for nearly four weeks before state investigators discovered the violations.
Mt Macrina Manor's failures occurred during a period when nursing homes remained under heightened scrutiny for COVID-19 response protocols. The facility's decision to allow potentially infectious staff to work while hiding an active outbreak from state health officials put residents at unnecessary risk of contracting the virus.

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.
