Phillips County Retirement Center

Phillips County Retirement Center is a 40-bed county-operated facility in Phillipsburg, Kansas. Functioning as a non-profit community resource, the center provides Medicare and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing and memory care for the residents of Phillips County and the surrounding north-central Kansas region.

As a skilled nursing facility (SNF), the center provides 24-hour clinical nursing care and rehabilitation services under the federal Medicare and Medicaid frameworks. While the community does not currently carry a CMS star rating, its occupancy remains near or at 100%, reflecting strong local demand for its 40 certified beds. Notably, based on the most recent 2026 focused survey filings, the facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. The center’s mission emphasizes inclusive care for elderly and disabled individuals regardless of financial resources.

The facility utilizes a rural, LPN-led staffing model where direct bedside care is a primary focus. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) hours are 1 hour and 6 minutes per resident per day—65% above the Kansas state average—and nurse aide hours are 2 hours and 55 minutes daily. Total weekend nursing coverage is 3 hours and 42 minutes, which is consistent with state benchmarks. While Registered Nurse (RN) hours currently average 3 minutes per day, with oversight typically managed through supervisory or on-call arrangements, the facility maintains specialized services for memory care and short-term respite stays.

The community is situated in a moderately walkable city-center setting and features senior-friendly, wheelchair-accessible suites. All-inclusive services cover three nutritional meals daily, housekeeping, personal laundry, and all home maintenance. Campus amenities include communal dining areas, social activity spaces, and outdoor gardens. Residents have access to physical, occupational, and speech therapies coordinated through local providers, and the facility is located near Phillips County Hospital for rapid acute medical support.

Those seeking a mission-driven, county-affiliated provider with deep local roots and a strong LPN bedside presence may find this environment appropriate. Individuals evaluating the facility should contact the administrator directly to discuss clinical oversight for medically complex residents and request current state inspection documentation to assess recent quality performance firsthand.
