The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued an order assessing a $10,000 civil penalty against Ottawa Retirement Plaza, 1042 West 15th St., Ottawa, for violations of state adult care home regulations.
KDHE staff inspected the adult care home on October 21 - 24 and November 4 - 7 and issued a correction order on November 13th citing the facility for failure to meet standards for adult care home.
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.
