The Kansas Department on Aging (KDOA) has imposed a $10,000 civil monetary penalty on Fairlawn Heights Residential Center, 5400 SW 7th Ave., Topeka.
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 conducted July 22-25, 2005.
The staff presented a plan of action to the surveyor on July 25 that abated the problems.
