Inspection Reports for Medicalodges Eudora
1415 MAPLE, EUDORA, KS, 66025-400
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on March 13, 2017, found that all previously cited deficiencies had been corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to medication management, immunization education, food safety, and quality assurance meeting attendance. Complaint investigations substantiated issues with medication errors, unsanitary food handling, and failure to ensure physician participation in quality meetings, while prior complaints involved supervision lapses leading to resident elopement and fall prevention shortcomings. Enforcement actions were not listed in the available reports, and fines or license suspensions were not noted. The facility appears to have made improvements over time, as several follow-up inspections confirmed correction of prior deficiencies.
