Kearny County Hospital provides nursing home, skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care in Lakin, KS. Skilled nursing offers licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for a resident who may be at risk of wandering.

Having several care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since a move to a different level of care can happen within the community. With 35 beds, Kearny County Hospital may be a good fit for someone who prefers a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other. The area’s Walk Score is 37, making it car-dependent, so most errands require a car or ride and a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips. Robin Allaman serves as administrator, and Kearny County operates the hospital.

Overview of Life Care Center of Andover

Life Care Center of Andover is a nursing home in Andover, KS, offering memory care and skilled nursing. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for a resident at risk of wandering. The combination may suit someone whose needs include ongoing nursing care or dementia related supervision in a secured setting.

There are 154 beds. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 18 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time allocated across each resident’s care. Medicare, Medicaid and private pay are accepted, giving families those payment routes; Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence.

Rehabilitation services provide therapy as part of the facility’s care offerings. A beauty salon supports personal grooming within the community, while landscaped grounds and a library provide dedicated spaces for outdoor time and reading. Jo Ann Olsen serves as administrator, and Life Care Center of Andover is operated by Andover Real Estate Investors.

Adult day care is not something most 38-bed rural campuses carry, and Locust Grove Village in La Crosse carries it. Someone can spend the day here, with supervision and company, and sleep at home. Respite stays run on the same program. Independent living, assisted living, nursing home care, and skilled nursing fill out the rest, so the building does both jobs at once.

Independent living means private quarters with services attached and nobody setting the day’s agenda. Assisted living picks up dressing, bathing, and medications. Skilled nursing brings licensed nurses on site at every hour, and staffing holds through the night rather than thinning out after supper. A resident whose needs deepen can move up without leaving the people they know.

Respite works for a different situation than most people picture. Often the person does not need therapy or nursing procedures at all. They need somebody in the building while the daughter who usually fills that role is somewhere else for ten days.

Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab cover the stretch after an illness, an injury, or a procedure, when the hospital’s timeline and the family’s readiness are two different timelines. That kind of stay ends.

Thirteen of the 38 beds were occupied at the last count, roughly a third of the building. A walk score of 54 puts the surrounding blocks in the moderately walkable range, which covers some errands on foot and leaves the rest to a car. Charlotte Rathke is the administrator on site, and the Rush County Nursing Home Society owns the operation.

Somebody recovering from surgery in a house with the bedroom upstairs has a problem that has nothing to do with willpower. The house is fine in general and unworkable for six weeks. Family Health & Rehabilitation Center in Wichita, Kansas, is built for that stretch, with rehabilitation services and a Skilled Services program covering ordered skilled care.

Licensed nursing is available on site at every hour for residents whose clinical needs run through the night. The 72-bed nursing home and skilled nursing facility had 59 beds occupied at the last count, putting it at 82 percent and below full.

Nursing hours total 5 hours and 17 minutes per resident daily, which is the whole staff’s time divided across the census rather than one resident’s personal schedule.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay each open a route: Medicare for eligible short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid where coverage qualifies, and personal funds for the rest. Logan Holt serves as administrator, and Fhrc Property Development operates the community.

Overview of Brighton Place West Health Center

Brighton Place West Health Center is a 50 bed nursing home in Topeka, Kansas, offering hospice, palliative, respite, and skilled nursing care. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site, while hospice and palliative care support residents living with serious or life limiting illness. Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs time away, and the range of services suits a resident whose nursing needs may shift toward comfort focused support.

Short term rehabilitation and rehabilitation therapy support recovery after an illness, injury, or hospital stay. Long term nursing care serves residents who need ongoing assistance, while discharge planning helps coordinate the move from the facility to the next setting after rehabilitation. The smaller size can allow residents and staff to become familiar with one another over time.

A dedicated memory care unit serves residents who need memory focused care in a separate setting. Total nurse staffing is 2 hours and 42 minutes per resident each day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted.

Overview of Sandstone Heights Nursing Home

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.
