A report published on Friday that a Cambria County nursing home lost its regular license because it had more than one deficiency.

The Cambria County nursing home is in trouble with the state health department for the second time this year. Commissioner P.J. Stevens said he was surprised by the announcement on

Wednesday, Laurel Crest was once again on a provisional license, which means the state health department will be keeping a close eye on the staff to ensure the safety of the residents.

The license change comes after violations involving a woman who fell from a lift at the facility and died several days later. According to the Tribune Democrat, the incident drew three deficiencies.

Five other deficiencies are related to allegations that staff members increased the level of a patient's medications without notifying that person's family

The provisional license will last for a period of six months, but Commissioner P.J. Stevens said he is hopeful they will have the facility operating to state standards by October.

In addition to the license change, the county was also fined $9,500.

The staff at Laurel Crest has dealt with several violations with the health department involving the patient lifts over the past several years.
