The Springs at Watermark, East Hill, Southbury was fined twice by the state Department of Public Health over the past 12 months, reports the Connecticut Health I-Team.

The nursing home was fined $1,300 after two residents incurred injuries.

On one occasion, a patient developed a skin wound because of the improper use of an orthotic, and on a second occasion, a parent fell on the way to the bathroom, the I-Team reports.

The nursing home was also fined $1,600 for “lapses in communication” concerning a patient’s care.

An official with the nursing home said corrective action has taken place and they work hard to provide proper care for all of their clients.
