Overview of Via Christi Village Pittsburg Ks LLC

Via Christi Village Pittsburg KS LLC is a 96-bed dual-licensed nursing and assisted living facility located at 1502 E Centennial Drive in Pittsburg, Kansas. Managed by Kfar Habor LLC and serving Crawford County under the administration of Amy Bailey, the community provides a continuum of care, including short-term rehabilitation, long-term skilled nursing, and mental health recovery.

As a skilled nursing facility (SNF), the community provides 24-hour clinical nursing and intensive rehabilitation under the federal Medicare and Medicaid frameworks. The facility received the 2022 Health Quality Innovator of the Year Award for patient engagement and activation. While historical 12-year averages show a high deficiency rate, recent 2026 focused health filings indicate that the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. Occupancy stands at approximately 77%, consistent with state averages, with 74 of 96 beds currently occupied.

Staffing levels are characterized by high direct-care engagement, with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) hours at 52 minutes daily—30% above the state average. Nurse aides (CNAs) provide 3 hours of daily care, exceeding the state benchmark by 12%, and total weekend nursing coverage remains steady at nearly 4 hours per resident day. While Registered Nurse (RN) coverage currently averages 33 minutes daily, trending below the Kansas average of 43 minutes, the clinical team maintains favorable long-stay hospitalization rates, which are 29% better than the state benchmark. The facility coordinates a broad range of post-acute services, including palliative and hospice care, IV therapy, and specialized discharge planning.

The campus features a residential-style layout with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options equipped with emergency call systems and pet-friendly policies. All-inclusive services cover restaurant-style dining with therapeutic diet options, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry. Shared spaces include an activity center, outdoor courtyards with walking paths, a gift shop, and a snack shop for resident convenience. On-site clinical resources, including physical, occupational, and speech therapists, facilitate recovery without residents needing to leave the property.

Those seeking a large-scale facility with award-winning quality engagement and strong LPN bedside presence may find this community appropriate. Individuals evaluating the home should contact the administrator directly to discuss current fall prevention protocols and schedule an in-person tour to assess the 2026 quality performance and residential neighborhoods firsthand.
