Life Care Center of Red Bank again is accepting admissions after correcting deficiencies found during an annual state inspection, according to a news release.

On June 17, the Tennessee Department of Health ordered the 148-bed nursing home not to admit new residents, imposed a one-time $5,000 state penalty and a $6,150-a-day federal penalty until violations identified in the annual survey were corrected.

The Tennessee Department of Health confirmed that Life Care Center of Red Bank has returned to compliance under state licensing regulations and corrected the violations.

During the survey, held between May 26 and June 9, inspectors identified violations in the nursing home's administration, performance improvement, physician services, nursing services, medical records and pharmaceutical services areas, the release from the state health department said.

Ivy Academy gets extended deadline

Officials with Ivy Academy will have a 30-day grace period to get their school ready for operation after failing to meet the original deadline Monday.

Hamilton County Board of Education attorney Scott Bennett said the local school system has decided to work with Ivy on its largest outstanding issues: securing enough money to operate and getting its portable buildings ready for occupancy.

"We're trying to continue to alert them of issues while giving them plenty of time," Mr. Bennett said. "But if they're not ready by July 30, they're done."
