Crystal Care Center of Mound City Fined $2,500
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued an order assessing a $2,500 civil penalty against Crystal Care Center of Mound City, 916 Chestnut, Mound City, for violations of state nursing home regulations.
KDHE staff inspected the facility on September 16-19 and 22-23 and issued a correction order on October 13 citing the facility for failure to meet standards for quality of care. KDHE staff conducted a follow-up inspection on October 22-23 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.
