Susquehanna Valley Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Columbia, Pa., was hit with complaints of cockroaches, filth and was out of compliance during eight inspections in a year, according to an article on the ABC27 website.

In one year, eight inspections showed the nursing home was out of compliance. There were 14 documented complaints against the facility in that same time.

An inspection from October 2015 says the Department of Health found evidence of dirty wheelchairs and discovered they were not being cleaned on a routine basis.

Several other inspections showed the facility did not “maintain a clean, safe and sanitary environment.”
