Overview of Moran Nursing

Moran Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (also known as Moran Manor) is a 45-bed skilled nursing facility located at 3940 US Highway 54 in Moran, Kansas. Administered by Laura Courtney and serving Allen County, the community provides a broad clinical continuum including long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, and specialized memory care.

As a skilled nursing facility (SNF), the center provides 24-hour clinical nursing and intensive rehabilitation under the federal Medicare and Medicaid frameworks.

The staffing model is designed to support high-acuity needs, with total nursing hours averaging 3 hours and 21 minutes per resident per day. Direct care is anchored by a 24/7 nursing presence and a doctor on staff, facilitating specialized programs such as advanced wound care, pulmonary management, and IV therapy. The facility offers a comprehensive roster of consultants in podiatry, dentistry, and mental health, alongside on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy.

The campus features private and semi-private suites with floor plans ranging from 210 to 260 square feet. All-inclusive services cover restaurant-style dining with 24/7 admissions, including holidays, alongside weekly housekeeping and personal laundry.

Those seeking a clinically comprehensive facility with a high citations-per-inspection performance and 24/7 admissions may find this setting appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Kansas

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 nursing home care?

Yes — Kansas Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 155 nursing homes in Kansas. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
