Tennessee Nursing Home Admissions Suspended
A Knoxville nursing home's new admissions have been suspended until further notice after the Tennessee Department of Health found conditions at the facility could be detrimental to residents.
New admissions were suspended at Serene Manor Medical Center, effective February 1, 2010, until further notice. A recent complaint inspection found problems with administration, nursing services, and performance improvement. Until problems are corrected in these areas, the facility faces a federal fine of $5,050 per day. The facility also faces a one- time state fine of $1,500. A monitor has also been appointed to observe daily facility operations.
