Crystal Care of Lyndon Fined $2,200
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued an order assessing a $2,200 civil penalty against Crystal Care of Lyndon, 131 W. 14th St., Lyndon, for violations of state nursing home regulations.
KDHE staff inspected the facility on February 23, 25 and 26 and issued a correction order on March 18 citing the facility for failure to meet standards for quality of care. KDHE staff conducted a follow-up inspection on April 2 and 5 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. 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.
