After a week where the facility was banned from accepting new residents, Life Care Center of Red Bank is now permitted to accept new patient admissions.  One June 17th, the Tennessee Department of Heath Commissioner suspended new patient admissions to this Tennessee nursing home because of conditions encountered during a survey (inspection).  During the survey inspectors found heath and safety violations concerning:

• Nursing home administration
• Performance improvement
• Physician services
• Nursing services
• Medical records
• Pharmaceutical services

In addition to suspending admission of new patients, Life Care was issued a one-time civil penalty by the state and $6,150 per day until the conditions were corrected by federal authorities.

Kudos, to nursing home inspectors for getting this facilities attention the only way possible--- by hitting them in the pocket book. Due to the inherent nature of the business, most nursing homes rely on a steady stream of new patients to keep their facilities full and profitable.  A drop in the number of residents cuts into the facilities profits.
