A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating.

Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Total count of deficiencies (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of deficiencies this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total deficiencies ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.

Overview of Life Care Center of Wichita

Wichita Real Estate Investors LLC operates Life Care Center of Wichita, a 120-bed nursing and rehabilitation facility located on North Edgemoor Street in Wichita. For 29 years, the home has processed resident billing through typical insurance pathways, accepting private pay alongside standard Medicare and Medicaid options. The surrounding neighborhood is moderately walkable, meaning visitors and families can handle a few local errands on foot when visiting, though a vehicle remains practical for general transit.

The facility runs busy with a 98 percent occupancy rate, and residents stay for an average of 109 days. This timeline shows an operational focus on short-term post-hospital therapy alongside traditional long-term care. To handle medical needs like wound care, IV therapy, and post-surgical recovery, the 24-hour floor staff logs about 4 hours of total direct nursing care per resident every day across shifts shared by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides.

Regarding regulatory history, state inspections have flagged recurring issues with medication administration, care planning details, food safety, and infection control, though the home has received zero civil fines or enforcement actions and maintains its federal Medicare certification.

Families can contact the front office to schedule a tour of the building, look over the resident rooms, and see the common areas firsthand. Executive Director Matthew J. Stephenson and the administrative team manage these property visits while answering questions about admission timelines, case management, and the facility’s specific safety protocols for medication and care tracking.

Overview of Meridian Rehabilitation & Health Care Center

Three hours and forty-five minutes of nursing time reaches each resident of Meridian Rehabilitation & Health Care Center over a full day. That figure is hands-on care, spread across everyone in the building rather than reserved for one room. The Wichita home runs 106 beds and provides skilled nursing, with licensed nurses working every shift including the overnight.

Memory care sits alongside it. Dementia can take a route somebody walked for thirty years and make it unfamiliar halfway through, and a secured, supervised setting answers that problem directly. Respite stays are handled here too. A wedding two states away gets booked long before anyone knows a parent will need daily help, and a short stay covers the stretch when the usual caregiver cannot be in two places.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay all work at this address. Medicare covers the weeks following a hospital discharge and then stops, since it pays for recovery rather than for living somewhere. Medicaid becomes the live question once savings stop stretching far enough. The surrounding streets score 75 for walking, putting the area in the very walkable range, so a resident who gave up driving keeps a pharmacy run, a cup of coffee, and an errand with nothing medical about it inside a short walk.

Patrick Burke administers the home. Rehabilitation runs inside the building, which means recovery work does not begin with somebody arranging a car twice a week. Outdoor therapy, transportation to scheduled appointments, dining, and a barber and beauty salon are named among the programs on offer.
