Inspection Report Summary for Medicalodges Great Bend
The most recent inspection on April 7, 2021 found no deficiencies and the facility was in compliance with all regulations surveyed. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to care plan revisions, pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, medication management, infection control, and timely notification of physicians and families. Complaint investigations substantiated issues with abuse reporting, supervision, and failure to prevent pressure ulcers in some cases, though many complaints were found unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions included denial of payment for new admissions at times, and termination of provider agreement was recommended if compliance was not achieved, but no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility demonstrated improvement over time, with multiple revisit surveys confirming correction of previously cited deficiencies.
