PA inspected the facility in August after receiving five complaints. The inspection found severely deficient wound care, inadequate responses to changes in medical conditions, significant weight loss from residents not eating, and other problems.

The nursing home is operated by Center Management Group, a New York company that bought the 273 bed facility and six other senior-care locations from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

The facility’s license was revoked by the state of Pennsylvania after an August inspection found problems. The facility was operating during the appeal process. The PA Attorney General’s Office would neither confirm nor deny the existence of an investigation.
