Kansas average: 100 deficiencies
Inspection Report Summary for The Wheatlands Health Care Center
The most recent inspection on September 29, 2016, found no deficiencies, confirming that previously cited issues were corrected. Earlier inspections from 2016 showed deficiencies related mainly to infection control during food service, hot water temperature regulation, and hand hygiene, with accepted plans of correction addressing these areas. A complaint investigation in April 2016 substantiated a failure to notify a physician about a resident’s declining oxygen levels, which the facility subsequently addressed through staff training and monitoring. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The inspection history shows improvement over time, with the facility correcting prior deficiencies and achieving compliance by the most recent revisit.
