Overview of Protection Valley Manor
Protection Valley Manor is a 45-bed skilled nursing facility located at 600 South Broadway in Protection, Kansas. Operated as a non-profit corporation, the facility serves as a primary clinical resource for Comanche County and the surrounding rural communities of southwest Kansas, maintaining an active license status through the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services.
As a skilled nursing facility (SNF), Protection Valley Manor provides 24-hour clinical nursing care and rehabilitation services under the federal Medicare and Medicaid frameworks. While the facility does not currently carry a CMS star rating, its long-stay quality measures represent a notable strength: hospitalizations per 1,000 resident days are 0.97—47% better than the Kansas state average, and emergency department visits are 0.66 per 1,000 days, reflecting high-performance clinical management in a rural setting. Based on current focused surveys, the facility has maintained a citations-per-inspection rate of zero in recent standard health filings.
The staffing model features high Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) coverage at 51 minutes per resident per day, which is 27% above the state average. Nurse aide hours follow closely at 2 hours and 35 minutes daily. However, Registered Nurse (RN) coverage is 19 minutes per day, which is 56% below the Kansas state average, and weekend RN hours drop to 12 minutes. The facility provides specialized care across long-term nursing, memory care, and respite tracks, coordinating clinical needs for residents with various levels of medical complexity.
The 91% occupancy rate, significantly higher than the Kansas average of 79.5%, suggests strong local utilization for its 45 certified beds. Residents live in a homelike environment that includes outdoor common areas, communal dining, and private or semi-private room options. All-inclusive services cover three nutritional meals daily, social and recreational programming, and maintenance-free living. Although the location has a Walk Score of 20 and is fully car-dependent, the facility manages scheduled transportation for medical and social needs.
Those seeking a high-occupancy facility with exceptional clinical outcomes in the southwest Kansas region may find this setting appropriate. Individuals evaluating the home should contact the administrator directly to discuss current bed availability, which typically starts at approximately $2,200 per month, and request the most recent full inspection reports to assess staffing and safety protocols firsthand.
Staffing hours breakdown
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
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.
| 19m per day | ▼ 56% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
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.
| 51m per day | ▲ 27% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
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 35m per day | ▼ 4% State avg: 2h 41m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
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.
| 2h 58m per day | ▼ 17% State avg: 3h 35m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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.
| 12m per day | ▼ 60% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |

Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
- The most recent inspection on July 1, 2025, identified deficiencies related to elopement prevention, specifically failure to ensure operational door locks, alarms, and adequate supervision for a high-risk resident who left the facility unsupervised. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues primarily involving care plan revisions, food safety and sanitation, infection control, and supervision concerns, with several deficiencies corrected in follow-up surveys. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, and no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports for recent years, though earlier surveys in 2016 and 2017 did note immediate jeopardy related to quality of care and infection control that were subsequently addressed. The facility has implemented corrective actions such as staff education, policy updates, and technology improvements like a WanderGuard system to address these issues. The overall trend indicates ongoing attention to compliance with some recurring themes but also shows efforts toward improvement over time.
