710 N. Christian Avenue, Moundridge, Ks 67107-800
Overview of Moundridge Manor

A 91 percent occupancy rate keeps operations steady at Moundridge Manor, a mid-sized, 78-bed non-profit nursing home located at 710 North Christian Avenue in Moundridge, Kansas. The church-affiliated billing office processes standard payment tracks, accepting private pay along with Medicare and Medicaid.

Extended long-term care forms the backbone of the daily routine here, with residents averaging a length of stay of 518 days. To cover these ongoing medical needs, the floor staff logs an average of 6 hours and 39 minutes of direct nursing care per resident every single day.

This daily care timeline covers specialized wound care, physical therapy recovery, medication management, and hospice support. Meals are prepared fresh in-house by a dietary team alongside a licensed dietitian, and the activity calendar includes practical community pastimes like cooking, quilting, poetry, and singing groups.

The administrative team coordinates these property visits while answering questions about room availability, admission paperwork, and how the kitchen team manages dietary preferences.
