New Patients Barred at Knoxville Nursing Home
State officials have halted admissions at one of the biggest nursing homes in Knoxville after it was discovered that a bedridden dementia patient fractured both her knees in a fall but did not see a doctor and was left in agony for nine days.
The patient fractured her knees while falling out of bed in front of a nurse assistant, then complained of "intense pain," state records show. However, it took the nursing home five days to perform an x-ray, then another four days to have her be seen by a doctor.
The doctor then sent her for knee surgery at a hospital, where she died a month later.
