Nursing home update

The Observer reports that federal officials now say Elizabeth Place nursing home is "in substantial compliance." This after the Hawthorne Lane home was found to have 44 deficiencies between September 2005 and May 2006, the "most citations against any N.C. nursing home in that period," The Observer reported. Makes you wonder what's going on. As one expert noted: "You don't come that close to closure and things get better overnight."
