Holiday Resort Fined $1,600

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued an order assessing a $1,600 civil penalty against Holiday Resort, 2700 W. 30th St., Emporia, for violating state nursing home regulations.

KDHE staff inspected the facility on March 4 and 5 and determined that the facility failed to meet standards for quality of care. The department determined the violation resulted in, caused, or posed serious physical harm to a resident. State law authorizes KDHE to issue civil penalties following an inspection under those circumstances.

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