CMS cited the facility earlier this year for patient safety issues, including failing to conduct physical assessments of some patients after an assault or injury and failing to conduct suicide risk assessments on patients within the first eight hours of being admitted.

Sequel Pomegranate submitted a correction plan to CMS. After performing a follow-up survey, CMS determined the hospital is in compliance with Medicare requirements, according to the report.
