Marywood Heights has been cited for a total of 97 deficiencies since we began saving each survey. We believe it is worthwhile to show how things are and were. Some improve and some get worse. Rather than a snapshot, we take s longer view than most. A longer view, we believe, paints a better and more worthwhile picture. We start from them most recent and go back as you scroll down.
Tip: Surveys happen throughout the year and you may want to check with the location or here to see if more recent data is available for Marywood Heights.
Since we bagan longer term (multi year tracking, numbers will naturally be higher than 3 (or so surverys).
There are 690 nursing homes in Pennsylvania with a total of 34,897 deficiencies resulting in an average of 50.58 deficiencies per nursing home.
