Independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and nursing home care all happen at Sandstone Heights Nursing Home in Little River, KS. At 36 beds, the whole place is one nursing floor, and a licensed cover reaches all of it, whatever the hour. Assisted living, the middle rung, lists dressing, medication, and bathing among the tasks it assists with.
Independent living attaches no daily care at all, just private living and the services a community brings. A resident whose needs grow can climb that ladder without changing address. Thirty-six beds also make this a smaller home, so the roster of names to learn stays short for both staff and residents.
Rice County Hospital Dist 2 operates the community, and Trey Look is the administrator. The building gives each resident 4 hours and 45 minutes of nursing daily. Three payers each answer part of the bill; Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Medicare pays for the short skilled stretch that follows after leaving the hospital. Medicaid becomes the question once money for a long stay has come from somewhere else, and private funds cover whatever falls outside both, paid directly.
Rehabilitation services are available on-site, while transportation covers trips out of the building. Activities run to Bible Study, Church Service, Sing-A-Longs, arts and crafts, pet therapy, and shopping trips.
