The facility, at 1922 County Road NN in Elkhorn, serves residents in a dedicated memory care unit.

No place in a hallway or common area where a resident could quietly slip in a form and walk away.

That was the finding from a complaint inspection completed August 28, 2025, at the facility located at 1700 North Highway 281.

The incident had occurred at approximately 8:00 a.m.

The lapse came to light not through any internal monitoring system, but because a licensed vocational nurse noticed and flagged it.

The resident, identified in inspection records only as R2, is a male patient admitted to AristaCare at Meadow Springs on March 1, 2024.

Inspectors found staff were not following those requirements.

Inspectors from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services visited the facility on September 2, 2025, following a complaint.

That order required a gown and gloves for high-contact care.

A complaint inspection completed September 2, 2025 found the facility operating below its own staffing targets.

The temperature log for that period showed zero entries.

That is what inspectors found on September 3 at Orchard Gardens, a 70-bed nursing home in Wichita.
