State Bans Great Plains Rehabilitation & Nursing Center from Admitting New Residents

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued an order banning new admissions to Great Plains Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, 400 S. Rogers Road, Olathe, after an inspection revealed deficiencies that significantly and adversely impact the health, safety, nutrition, or sanitation at the facility.

The ban, issued shortly after an inspection, prohibits the facility from accepting new residents until the deficiencies are corrected. Once staff document the deficiencies are corrected, KDHE will lift the ban. In some instances, that may occur within days.
