The inspection resulted in a citation under F842, the federal tag that covers clinical records.

That is the core finding from a March 2025 inspection of Embassy of Hillsdale Park in Hillsdale, Pennsylvania.

Two surveyors documented the skin tear on March 31, 2025, at 11:22 in the morning.

Chronic wounds and indwelling catheters are not minor clinical concerns.

When inspectors asked about it, the Social Services Director was direct about why: she does not do resident visits in the room.

Inspectors cited the facility under F689, the federal tag that covers accident hazards and supervision, noting that a few residents were affected.

The jeopardy, inspectors determined, had actually begun six days earlier, on February 26.

The violations ranged from missing paperwork before emergencies to a resident left without an intervention to prevent a skin tear.
