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.
