The owner of a Los Angeles nursing home was ordered to pay $34,000 in fines and penalties after pleading no contest to 10 violations of state law requiring such institutions to maintain sanitary facilities, give patients proper diets and provide for their personal hygiene. Los Angeles Municipal Judge Rose Hom ordered Mountain Green Medical Enterprises Inc., the owner of the 93-bed Good Home Convalescent Hospital at 2000 W. Washington Blvd., to pay the fines and penalties by Jan. 5 and placed the corporation on six months’ probation. The home’s administrator, Nola Nell Turrell, 45, also entered a no-contest plea and was placed on three months’ probation. Deputy City Atty. Gary Rowse said that in exchange for the pleas, charges were dismissed against Elizabeth Enterprises of Upland, owner of the facility. Charges against Barrett Speck, president of Elizabeth Enterprises, will be dropped after Mountain Green pays the $34,000, Rowse said.
