3 of the group's homes carry a CMS abuse icon.
3 homes are in or a candidate for the Special Focus Facility programme.
Embassy Of Scranton carries 84 deficiencies on its current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. That's the kind of inspection history that lands a home in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, which it is. It's owned by a for-profit limited liability company and holds 139 certified beds. Nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, with weekends about 4% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 47.5%, just above the national figure of 45.8%. Two fines totaling $33,670 are also on record. The quality measure rating sits at three stars, but the inspection record is where the real story is.
Embassy Of Tunkhannock carries a federal Special Focus Facility designation, which CMS reserves for homes with a persistent record of poor care, and the numbers behind that status are hard to argue with. Fifty-seven deficiencies sit on the current record, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy to residents, and five tied to abuse. Nurse staffing runs about 20% below the national average, weekends dip below weekdays, and over half the nursing staff turned over in a year. A for-profit LLC operates the 124-bed building, and CMS has logged two fines totaling $103,502. The most recent inspection was January 30, 2026.
Heritage Healthcare of Lyndhurst runs on thin staffing: 3.65 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 13% leaner than weekdays. The bigger problem is who stays, turnover hits 73.1% a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, so residents cycle through a lot of unfamiliar faces. The inspection record backs that up: 73 deficiencies, including four at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus $149,620 in fines across two penalties. That combination, one-star inspections and one-star staffing, corporate for-profit ownership, a recent April 2025 survey, is what drives the grade down, whatever the quality measures say.
