A troubled Brockton nursing home has received permission to begin accepting new patients again, but will face fines of nearly $250,000 related to the deaths of two residents and a litany of serious problems, according to a letter issued Monday by federal regulators.

Conditions at the nursing home, Braemoor Health Center, were so troubling that state investigators during a surprise inspection July 1 declared residents in “immediate jeopardy,’’ and ordered the facility to stop accepting new patients.

Investigators found scant staff training in basic life-support care, empty oxygen-delivery machines, defective equipment used to restore cardiac rhythm during heart attacks, and missing alarms that sound when dementia patients wander from the building.

State inspectors returned two more times, and decided Aug. 16 that Braemoor had fixed the problems, according to the letter from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

It said nursing home owner Synergy Health Centers of New Jersey has until Sept. 16 to pay the $248,100 fine.

The letter said the company could receive a 35 percent discount if it waives its rights to appeal the fine. Synergy waived that right involving another steep fine, assessed in April, related to two deaths at its Wilmington nursing home, Woodbriar Health Center.

Synergy then asked for a payment plan for the remaining $183,772.50 penalty imposed on Woodbriar. That request is pending.
