Inspection Findings

FF0550
Resident Rights Deficiencies
Potential for More Than Minimal Harm

Based on review of resident representatives' concerns, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents have the right to communication and access to persons and services inside the facility.Findings include:

Review of the facility policy Resident Rights dated 4/1/25, indicated that residents have the right to communication with and access to people and services, both inside and outside the facility.

Review of a Resident Representative concern dated 11/13/25, stated I've been trying to contact someone with important issues, and I've tried for two weeks, and I keep leaving voicemails.

Nobody will return my calls. I don't know how to resolve these issues because nobody will answer their phone.

They don't return calls.

You know it's just a terrible way to do business.

Review of an additional Resident Representative concern dated 11/21/25, stated I cannot get any kind of correspondence, e-mail contact, nothing back. No phone calls, voicemails, administration office when I have concerns. I get no response.

During an interview on 12/19/25, at 2:30 p.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that offices for administration, including hers were moved in October from the basement to the first floor.

However, this also requires a new extension for the phone lines, and this work has not been completed yet as Maintenance has been out sick. DON confirmed that she has a new phone extension, and that when all the phone lines have been moved and reassigned, they probably need to send out a new copy of key personnel with new phone numbers. DON confirmed that the current phone situation failed to ensure that residents have ease with communication to persons inside the facility. 28 Pa.
