Court proceedings continue in the receivership case of Flint Hills Care Center.
Shawnee County District Court has a hearing tentatively scheduled for 1:30 pm Friday in the case. At a hearing last month, plaintiffs agreed to file monthly interim receiver reports with an agreement to respond to different defense questions as those come up — and if there’s a dispute, the hearing Friday will take place.
A filing by the state as provided to KVOE News last fall alleges Flint Hills Care Center owes over $400,000 to the state of Kansas for quality care assessment payments, over $40,000 to a therapy vendor and over $17,000 to its food service vendor. The court filing says the facility did not submit its annual licensing renewal application or paid the necessary fee, endangering the care center’s residents and putting it at risk of having its license revoked. It also says Pinnacle Management apparently commingled funds for all its facilities including Flint Hills Care Center with owner Virgil Goracke, Pinnacle Management and the care center all insolvent.
KVOE News has called a number associated with Goracke, the legal firm representing Goracke and Pinnacle Management in this civil case as well as Flint Hills Care Center management. Those calls have not been returned.
