Bedford County Nursing Home Admissions Suspension Lifted

Tennessee Department of Health announces that the suspension of admissions at Bedford County Nursing Home has been lifted. The facility is a 107-bed licensed nursing home located at 835 Union Street in Shelbyville. The Department confirmed the facility has returned to substantial compliance for state licensing purposes, and the deficient practices and conditions have been corrected as stated in the facility’s plan of correction, which was approved by federal and state authorities.

On June 25, the nursing home was ordered not to admit any new residents based on conditions found during a complaint investigation and survey conducted June 2 through June 23. During the investigation, surveyors found violations of resident protection, administration, nursing services and staff training standards.
