Care homes scramble as license is threatened
KDHE moved to revoke Southwinds nursing home license after inspections found numerous alleged care violations including residents with untended bed sores soaked in feces. Southwinds planned an appeal then dropped it and agreed to close. KDHE spokes woman Sharon Watson said the closing date was chosen. Brandon Woods and Presbyterian Manor report tight space with few beds and several inquiries from Southwinds families.
