Prestige Rehabilitation and Nursing Center Fined $2,500

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued an order assessing a $$2,500 civil penalty against Prestige Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, 215 North Lamarr Avenue, Haysville, for violations of state nursing home regulations.

KDHE staff inspected the facility on July 14-25 and issued a correction order on August 11 citing the facility for failure to meet standards for quality of care, physical environment, dietary services, resident behavior and facility practices, and quality of life. KDHE staff conducted a follow-up inspection on August 28 - September 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.
