New Admissions Banned at Tennessee Nursing Home
Life Care Center of Athens
The Tennessee Department of Health banned new admissions to Life Care Center of Athens until further notice, after a complaint investigation found violations in performance improvement and nursing services. Allegedly, facility conditions were found that could be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of facility residents. The ban, effective July 31, 2009, remains in force until all violations are corrected. Additionally, a special monitor has been appointed to oversee the daily operations of the facility.
The facility was assessed a one-time state penalty of $1,500 and a federal civil penalty of $4,150 has been imposed daily until the violations are corrected.
