Heritage Manor of Osawatomie Fined $5,000
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued an order assessing a $5,000 civil penalty against Heritage Manor of Osawatomie, 1615 Parker Ave, Osawatomie, for violations of state nursing home regulations.
KDHE staff inspected the facility on June 15-17 and 22-26 and issued a correction order on July 2 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.
