Health deficiencies cited at Uniontown Nursing And Rehab during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Facility administrative staff did not consistently meet required minimum nurse aide staffing ratios on the night shift, as shown by a review of nursing schedules and census data over a multi-week period. On multiple nights, the total nurse aide hours provided were below the calculated hours needed to maintain at least one nurse aide per 15 residents, resulting in several shifts where required coverage was not achieved. The Nursing Home Administrator acknowledged that the facility failed to provide the mandated minimum nurse aide staffing on these night shifts.
The facility did not ensure that staff providing services under contractual arrangements completed all required annual trainings, as evidenced by incomplete training records and confirmation from the Nursing Home Administrator.
Five nurse aides did not receive the required 12 hours of annual in-service education, instead receiving only one to four hours each during their respective annual periods. This deficiency was confirmed through review of facility policy, staff education records, and staff interviews.
The facility did not provide required infection control training to seven staff members, including nurse aides, a registered nurse, an occupational therapist, a housekeeping employee, and a dietary employee, as confirmed by review of training records and staff interviews.
The facility did not provide required in-service education on effective communication to several staff members, including a nurse aide, an occupational therapist, a registered nurse, a housekeeping employee, and a dietary employee, as confirmed by review of training records and staff interviews.

The facility did not provide required annual in-service education on abuse and neglect prevention to two staff members, including an occupational therapist and a housekeeping employee, as confirmed by review of training records and staff interviews. This failure was not in accordance with facility policy and state regulations regarding staff development.
Nine out of ten staff members, including nurse aides, therapy, nursing, laundry, housekeeping, and dietary staff, did not receive mandatory annual training on the facility's QAPI program as required by policy and state regulations. This deficiency was confirmed through review of training records and staff interviews.
The facility did not provide required Compliance and Ethics training to seven staff members, including nurse aides, a registered nurse, an occupational therapist, a housekeeping employee, and a dietary employee, as evidenced by missing documentation of annual in-service education. This was confirmed by the administrator during staff interviews and review of training records.
The facility did not provide required Behavioral Health training to five staff members, including a nurse aide, an occupational therapist, a registered nurse, a housekeeping employee, and a dietary employee, as evidenced by missing documentation in their in-service training records. This deficiency was confirmed by the Nursing Home Administrator and cited under state regulations for staff development and management.
The facility did not comply with its policy on employee hygiene, as a dietary aide was observed in the kitchen without a hair restraint, risking cross-contamination. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that kitchen staff should wear hair restraints to prevent foodborne illness.
A resident with vascular dementia and other health issues eloped from the facility due to a failure in the Wanderguard system, which was supposed to alert staff of her departure. Despite regular checks, the device was not functioning, leading to the resident being found outside by an RN. Staff interviews revealed confusion about the maintenance process, and the NHA confirmed the system's failure.
Failure to Maintain Minimum Night Shift Nurse Aide Staffing Ratios
Penalty
Summary
Facility administrative staff failed to meet state-required minimum nurse aide staffing ratios on the night shift on five of 21 reviewed days. Review of nursing schedules and census data from 4/5/26 through 4/25/26 showed that on 4/14/26, the night shift required 52.00 hours of nurse aide care but only 48.50 hours were provided; on 4/18/26, 52.00 hours were required but 43.00 hours were provided; on 4/23/26, 50.00 hours were required but 41.25 hours were provided; on 4/24/26, 50.50 hours were required but 36.50 hours were provided; and on 4/25/26, 51.00 hours were required but only 47.00 hours were provided. These shortfalls meant the facility did not maintain the mandated minimum of one nurse aide per 15 residents during the overnight shift on those dates. During an interview on 5/1/26 at approximately 12:00 p.m., the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that the facility failed to provide the required minimum nurse aide staffing on the night shift on these five days. No specific residents, medical histories, or clinical conditions were identified in the report; the deficiency is based on staffing hours and ratios compared to the required standard for nurse aide coverage on the night shift.

Audit results will be reviewed in Quality Assurance Performance Improvement Committee x 2 months.
Failure to Ensure Completion of Required Staff Training
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement and maintain an effective training program for individuals providing services under contractual arrangements, as required by their roles. Review of the facility assessment and personnel files revealed that all employees were required to complete both general orientation and annual trainings on topics such as resident rights, abuse prevention, compliance, infection control, dementia care, emergency preparedness, and more.

Failure to Enforce Hair Restraints in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its policy on preventing foodborne illness through proper employee hygiene and sanitary practices. During an observation, a dietary aide was seen working in the kitchen without a hair restraint, which is a violation of the facility's policy that requires hair nets or caps and/or beard restraints to be worn to prevent hair from contacting exposed food, clean equipment, utensils, and linens. This observation was confirmed by the Nursing Home Administrator during an interview, acknowledging that kitchen staff should wear hair restraints as per the policy.

Elopement Incident Due to Wanderguard System Failure
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure adequate supervision and safety measures for Resident R76, resulting in an elopement incident. Resident R76, who has vascular dementia, diabetes, and high blood pressure, was identified as being at risk for elopement through evaluations conducted on admission, quarterly, and annually.
