http://www.news-record.com/content/2010/05/11/article/raleigh_mental_hospital_cited_after_fightRALEIGH (AP) — A private mental hospital has been cited by federal inspectors for serious safety violations after a fight resulted in the arrest of three patients.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported today that Holly Hill Hospital in Raleigh was told April 30 of the finding, which means conditions were so serious the safety of patients was considered to be threatened.
The newspaper said the hospital has until May 23 to correct the problems or it could lose Medicare and Medicaid funds. Wake County sends patients to Holly Hill when beds in the state-run mental hospital system are unavailable.
A fight April 18 required at least eight police officers to help staff members regain control of the ward. Three teens were charged with simple assault and damaging hospital property.
