Tennessee Nursing Home Admissions Suspended
Golden Living Center Mountain View, a nursing home located in Winchester, Tennessee, has been fined $5,000 by the State of Tennessee and ordered not to admit any new residents. The Tennessee Department of Health found violations recently during an investigation complaint and annual survey in administration, performance improvement, physician services, nursing services, and medical records. The State of Tennessee has also recommended a fine of $3,000 per day until the violations are corrected. A monitor has been appointed to oversee the facility's daily operations.
The Tennessee Department of Health suspends admissions to nursing homes when conditions are determined to be or could be detrimental to the health, safety, and/or welfare of the facility's residents. The suspension will remain in place until the facility corrects the violations and a copy of the suspension order must be posted at the public entrance where it can be seen.
