Clarksville, TN – The U-S Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has fined a Clarksville, Tennessee nursing home almost $740,000 over the results of a state inspection. The Tennessee Department of Health reports a number of minor infractions and five serious ones at Spring Meadows Health Care. They include a lack of supervision and other precautions that led one resident to suffer serious injuries from 8 falls over five months. Spring Meadows administrator Keith Smith says the facility is now in compliance with all requirements. The Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle reports Spring Meadows is appealing the fines. Smith says documentation and evidence was left out when the fines were first assessed.
