DUBOIS, PA - Federal health inspectors cited Dubois Nursing Home at 212 S.

The facility received an **F842 deficiency**, which addresses requirements for safeguarding confidential resident data.

The lab company was owed **$9,536.92** with unpaid invoices dating back to November 30, 2024 — nearly five months of overdue payments.

For patients with this diagnosis, timely laboratory monitoring is not optional — it is essential.

The June 2024 complaint investigation also uncovered widespread infection control breakdowns affecting many residents.

## Facility Fell Short on Corrective Commitments The inspection centered on **F684**, a federal deficiency tag related to **quality of care** standards.

The witnessing CNA immediately left the room and reported what she observed to the on-duty nurse.

The first three doses were administered using the facility's emergency drug kit, but the supply ran out.

The facility's internal incident tracking told the story clearly.

The facility received a citation for **actual harm** under federal nursing home regulations.

The inspection revealed that the narcotic log book contained **no documentation that shift-to-shift counts had been completed at any time**.

Residents placed in secured units typically require that level of protection because they are at risk of wandering.
