McMaster is the father of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser.
The 141-page report released over the weekend says Herbert R. McMaster Sr.'s fatal fall April 12 was his fifth during a four-day stay at Cathedral Village. The report says staff failed to complete required neurological checks, develop a fall prevention plan or attempt to resuscitate McMaster.
Last month, AG Josh Shapiro charged Christann Gainey, 30, of South Philadelphia with involuntary manslaughter in the death of McMaster.
A spokeswoman for Cathedral Village says the facility immediately implemented a corrective plan.
