Kansas average: 100 deficiencies
Inspection Report Summary for Center at Waterfront LLC
The most recent inspection on April 2, 2025, identified a deficiency related to inadequate supervision and interventions to prevent the elopement of a cognitively impaired resident, which was corrected prior to the surveyor’s entrance. Earlier inspections showed multiple deficiencies primarily involving resident care, medication management, communication with dialysis providers, and sanitation in food preparation areas. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the elopement incident that led to the April 2025 deficiency. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings beyond the elopement, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility had previously corrected all cited deficiencies by May 2024, but recent findings indicate some challenges in maintaining consistent supervision and care interventions.
