Overview of Wheatridge Park Care Center
Wheatridge Park Care Center is a 45-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation community in Liberal, Kansas, offering skilled nursing, extended care, short-term rehabilitation, respite care, and memory care. The facility is operated by Liberal SNF Holdco LLC. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
CMS rates the facility 1 star overall — primarily due to its Health Inspection score, which is 62% below the Kansas average. Over seven years of inspection data on file, the facility averaged 15.3 deficiencies per year, compared with a Kansas average of 6.
Two substantiated complaint investigations, in 2014 and 2015, identified failures in fall prevention, medication oversight, and resident care planning. No fines or enforcement actions were documented. The most recent inspection, in August 2018, found zero deficiencies — a marked contrast to earlier years.
Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 49 minutes per resident per day, 19% below the Kansas average of 4 hours and 43 minutes, with Quality Measures also trailing the state. The facility’s occupancy rate tells a different story: at 98%, the facility operates near capacity, well above the Kansas average of 79.5%.
The Rehab to Home program targets short-stay post-acute recovery. The facility also provides 24-hour staffing.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Kansas
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Kansas?
Assisted living in Kansas supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Kansas?
Assisted living in Kansas is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Kansas Medicaid cover assisted living?
Kansas Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Kansas) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 20 assisted living facilities in Kansas. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Kansas?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Kansas, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Kansas?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
