Nursing Home Faces Fines For Medication Violations

An article in WCHL News says a Chapel Hill nursing home might have to pay fines in relation to violations that investigators say led to the death of a patient in February.
The article states “Nine patients in the Alzheimer’s unit tested positive for a type of pain management substance called opiates. Officials say most of the patients shouldn’t have been receiving any pain medications.”
