The deficiency, cited under federal tag F0656, covered care plan development and revision.

The deficiency was one of ten violations inspectors documented during the same visit.

The facility, located at 184 Bethlehem Pike in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, was inspected on August 22, 2025, following a complaint.

The assistant director of nursing, when asked about it, said it was her responsibility to make sure those orders were carried out.

The citation, issued August 22, 2025, fell under a category covering quality of life and care.

Inspectors classified the scope as widespread, meaning this was not a single staff member cutting a corner on a single shift.

The deficiency was among nine violations documented during a complaint inspection at the facility.

The August 22 complaint inspection turned up the care planning failure under a category regulators call Resident Assessment and Care Planning Deficiencies.

The inspection report did not document that any resident was actually harmed, but inspectors determined there was potential for more than minimal harm.

The inspection report describes a specific protocol that was not being followed.

One of those deficiencies cut to the center of what a nursing home is supposed to do.
