MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) -- The state Health Department has suspended new admissions at the Boulevard Terrace nursing home in Murfreesboro.

The suspension, announced in a news release on Wednesday, comes after a complaint investigation and annual survey of the home last week.

Surveyors found violations of administration and nursing services. The state has imposed a $1,500 penalty and recommended a federal penalty of $4,050 a day until the violations are corrected.

The nursing home has the right to a hearing on the suspension.
