Primrose Retirement Community Of Shawnee

What state inspectors found

1 inspection in the last two years · 1 with findings

Primrose Retirement Community of Shawnee had one state inspection in the past two years, conducted over three days in late October 2025. Inspectors cited one issue: the kitchen dishwasher was running below the manufacturer's minimum wash and rinse temperatures needed to properly sanitize dishes (146/176 degrees against a required 150/180), and the dietary staff member on duty did not know what those minimums were and had no manual to consult. The state classified the finding as a pattern with the potential for more than minimal harm, and the kitchen served all 33 residents. It was the only deficiency cited. In the plan of correction the state accepted, the community reported having the machine serviced and committed to retraining kitchen staff, twice-daily temperature checks and QA audits. A paper revisit on December 8, 2025 found the community back in substantial compliance.
