Sunflower Care Home is being sued by a former nurse who claims the Emporia senior care facility violated labor and wage laws before retaliating against her.
Kaylani Bronson, a certified nurse assistant and certified medication aide from January 2024 to mid-May 2024, says Sunflower staffers administered narcotic medications without properly reporting those doses to the Medication Administration Record. After reporting the issue to her supervisor, Pamela Major, and to owner Charisse Symmonds Arndt, Bronson says she noticed an incorrect dosage being administered to one patient and the documentation was changed to support the decision to use the wrong amount.
Bronson also says her time card was changed after the fact, meaning she wasn’t paid for all the hours she worked, before she was suspended and eventually fired.
Among other things, the lawsuit seeks an unspecified award for damages, liquidated damages, and an order halting Sunflower from “continued acts in violation of the FSLA, KWPA and Kansas common law related to unlawful discharge.”
No hearing dates have been posted to the federal Public Access to Court Electronic Records website.
