The Manor of Kansas City Fined $2,500

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued an order assessing a $2,500 civil penalty against The Manor of Kansas City, 3231 N. 61st St., Kansas City, Kan., for violations of state nursing home regulations.

KDHE staff inspected the facility on April 14-17 and 30 and issued a correction order on May 23 citing the facility for failure to meet standards for quality of care. KDHE staff conducted a follow-up inspection on June 4-5 and 9 that determined the deficiencies had not yet been corrected.

The department assesses a fine when a facility fails to correct the deficiencies by the second visit; or in some cases following the first. Department surveyors continue to check the facility to ensure the deficiencies are corrected.

The order is subject to appeal to the Secretary of Health and Environment.
