WINCHESTER, Tenn. -- A local nursing home cannot take any new patients. Admissions have been suspended because of what inspectors found.

The Department of Health got a complaint about SunBridge Care and Rehabilitation in Winchester. When the home was investigated, violations in administration, nursing and resident rights were found.

The nursing home can request a hearing, but until the issues are resolved, SunBridge will be fined $10,000 a day.
