The Kansas Department on Aging (KDOA) has been notified that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have imposed a $7,000 civil monetary penalty on Trinity Lutheran Manor, 9700 W. 62nd, Merriam.
The fine resulted from violations which significantly and adversely affected the health, safety, nutrition or sanitation of the adult care residents of the facility. The violations were identified in a survey concluded May 26, 2005.
KDOA conducts the facility surveys, but the federal agency imposes the fine.
