Hours per resident per day — compared to Kansas state averages

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 3m per day ▼ 93% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 1h 6m per day ▲ 65% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 55m per day ▲ 9% State avg: 2h 41m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Total Nursing (Weekend) Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 3h 42m per day ▲ 3% State avg: 3h 35m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
RN (Weekend) Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 4m per day ▼ 87% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day

Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on November 9, 2016, found no deficiencies during follow-up visits verifying correction of prior issues. Earlier inspections in 2016 showed multiple deficiencies related to resident care, medication management, abuse reporting, staffing, and infection control, including findings of immediate jeopardy and enforcement actions such as denial of payment for new Medicare and Medicaid admissions. Complaint investigations substantiated abuse incidents and failures to report timely, inadequate care planning, and supervision issues. Enforcement remedies and staff retraining were implemented, and plans of correction addressed these concerns with improvements in policies, training, and monitoring. The trend indicates that while serious deficiencies occurred in 2016, the facility took corrective actions resulting in compliance by the most recent inspection.
