Admissions at Tennessee Nursing Home Suspended Following Citations
Admissions at Countryside Healthcare and Rehabilitation of Lawrenceburg have been suspended by the Tennessee Department of Health until conditions at the facility improve. Admissions may be suspended when conditions at a facility are considered to be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the residents. The facility has been assessed a one-time state penalty of $1,500 and the facility faces a $4,600 per day penalty assessed by the federal government.
During a complaint investigation and annual survey conducted between August 24 through September 1, 2009, surveyors found violations of standards in the areas of admissions and discharges, administration, transfers, infection control, performance improvement, nursing and pharmaceutical services, and food and dietetic services.
