Garden Terrace Overland Park: Notification Failure - KS
The behaviors started after a provider discontinued the resident's medications in late November 2025. According to inspection records, the resident, identified only as R1, became aggressive, flipped people off, hit staff, and attempted to bite them. He also hit himself and made statements about wanting to die.
The facility's own consultant confirmed he received no notification of the resident's increased behaviors between November 22 and December 21, 2025. He told inspectors he expected staff to follow the facility's notification policies. Nobody had.
Licensed Nurse G told inspectors she never personally needed to call the provider about R1's physical aggression because those behaviors didn't occur on her shift. She confirmed she saw no provider notification notes in R1's electronic medical record during that entire period. She also acknowledged that when R1 made self-harming statements, the correct response was to notify the provider and document it in a progress note.
Licensed Nurse H described the same protocol: if interventions failed, staff called the provider and the family. Administrative Nurse D said the same thing. All three described a system that existed on paper and, for R1, went unused for weeks.
R1 was eventually hospitalized. By then, inspectors noted, he had not been sleeping in the days before he was sent out.
The December 30 inspection was conducted in response to a complaint. Inspectors cited the deficiency at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm.
The consultant said he expected the facility to follow its policies. What he got instead was nearly a month of silence while a resident hurt himself, threatened to kill himself, and bit the people trying to care for him.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued.
