Overview of Derby Health & Rehabilitation LLC

About 20 minutes from Wichita, Derby Health & Rehabilitation LLC is a skilled nursing and rehab facility in Derby, Kansas. DHRC Property Development operates the 74-bed home under the administration of Veena Rutter. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover care. Some residents may need short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay.

Residents stay an average of 61 days, suggesting the home leans strongly toward post-acute rehab and recovery. They may come after surgery, injury, or hospital discharge and need intensive hands-on care and therapy support.

Rehabilitation services are the center of care. Total nursing care averages 5 hours and 16 minutes per resident each day. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses share that work. Together, they help manage rehab needs and medical oversight.

Derby has a walkability score of 68 out of 100, so the neighborhood is moderately walkable. Visiting family members may handle many errands on foot. Nearby services are also reasonably accessible.

State inspections over recent years have tracked the home’s compliance with care standards. Earlier reviews found issues in care planning, infection control, and staffing management. Follow-up inspections later confirmed those deficiencies were corrected. The facility is now aligned with regulatory standards.

That compliance history shows some steady improvement. It also suggests the home responded to regulatory feedback over time. Families may still want to ask how those changes are maintained. A tour can help show how care and staffing look daily. The community has an occupancy rate of 93%, indicating strong utilization and consistent resident demand for its services.

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 133 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.
