Good Samaritan Village Fined $300
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued an order assessing a $300 civil penalty against Good Samaritan Village, 1320 Wheat Road, Winfield, for violations of state nursing home regulations.
KDHE staff inspected the facility on June 15-19 and 22-24 and issued a correction order on July 17 citing the facility for failure to meet standards for quality of care. KDHE staff conducted a follow-up inspection on July 20-22 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.
