Inspection Report Summary for Pennsylvania Place
The most recent inspection on June 26, 2025, identified deficiencies related to delayed evaluations and service plan updates following a significant change in condition for one tenant.

Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated except for the most recent case, which confirmed delays in updating care plans after health declines. There were no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with documentation and care planning, with no clear improvement trend over time.
