Overview of North Point

North Point is a 72-bed skilled nursing community at 908 North Pearl Street in Paola, Miami County, Kansas, independently owned and operated by Holly Hess. The facility specializes in skilled nursing, rehabilitation, hospice care, and memory care services across a 103-day average length of stay.

A three-year compliance record shows zero penalties, a baseline signal of regulatory stability. On CMS metrics, the community’s health inspection rating sits 72.9% above the Kansas average. Quality measures also run 29.4% above the state average. Staffing hours, however, present a concern: at 3 hours 44 minutes per resident per day, the facility runs 19% below the Kansas average, placing it 122nd among 141 state facilities.

Long-stay patients show excellent results on hard safety metrics: falls with major injury occur in only 1.4% of residents (68% better than state average), urinary tract infections are absent, and antipsychotic medication use is 78% better than state average. Hospitalization and emergency department visits both run significantly better than state benchmarks

On the other hand: pressure ulcer rates in high-risk populations reach 10.2%, more than twice the state average, and functional decline measures run 14% worse than peers. For short-stay rehabilitation, 59.1% of residents return successfully to home or community; a rate 17% above state average.

The community offers chef-prepared dining, fitness classes, an on-site salon, pet-friendly spaces, and structured activities.

Current occupancy of 54.9% sits well below the state average, indicating available capacity. The mix of Medicare (46% of admissions), private pay (46%), and Medicaid (8%) reflects a rehabilitation and post-acute focus.

North Point is structured for short-term Medicare rehabilitation and mixed-acuity skilled nursing, serving residents seeking intensive rehabilitation support with ongoing access to therapy and medical oversight.
