Inspectors wrote, July 30, 2026, scope and severity EBased on review of clinical records, as well as resident interviews and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents were provided appropriately fitting incontinence products for three of 11 residents reviewed (Residents 1, 4, 11).

Embassy of Woodland Park, Orbisonia, PA

Inspectors wrote, July 18, 2026, scope and severity EBased on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident rooms were at a comfortable temperature for three (3) of 3 sampled residents (Resident 1, Resident 2 and Resident 3) by failing to ensure the facility's Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC, a climate control system that keeps indoor areas at a comfortable temperature) was in good repair. This deficient practice had the potential to result in Residents 1, 2 and 3 feeling uncomfortably hot and negatively affect their quality of life.

Counts depend on how many homes a state has and how often its inspectors visit, so a larger number is not by itself a worse record.

Common questions

What is F675 in a nursing home inspection?

How often is F675 cited?
The CMS files as of September 1, 2026 list 176 F675 citations at 173 nursing homes, 35 of them in the 12 months to that date. 9.1% were rated as actual harm or immediate jeopardy.
Is a F675 citation serious?
It depends on the letter. Most F675 citations (90.9%) were rated as potential for more than minimal harm, D to F. 7 were immediate jeopardy, the most serious level.

The interpretive guidance inspectors use for each F-tag is CMS's State Operations Manual, Appendix PP. NursingHomeClear reports the citations as CMS records them and is not affiliated with CMS. All F-tags · Methodology
