Wichita Real Estate Investors LLC operates Life Care Center of Wichita, a 120-bed nursing and rehabilitation facility located on North Edgemoor Street in Wichita. For 29 years, the home has processed resident billing through typical insurance pathways, accepting private pay alongside standard Medicare and Medicaid options. The surrounding neighborhood is moderately walkable, meaning visitors and families can handle a few local errands on foot when visiting, though a vehicle remains practical for general transit.

The facility runs busy with a 98 percent occupancy rate, and residents stay for an average of 109 days. This timeline shows an operational focus on short-term post-hospital therapy alongside traditional long-term care. To handle medical needs like wound care, IV therapy, and post-surgical recovery, the 24-hour floor staff logs about 4 hours of total direct nursing care per resident every day across shifts shared by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides.

Regarding regulatory history, state inspections have flagged recurring issues with medication administration, care planning details, food safety, and infection control, though the home has received zero civil fines or enforcement actions and maintains its federal Medicare certification.

Families can contact the front office to schedule a tour of the building, look over the resident rooms, and see the common areas firsthand. Executive Director Matthew J. Stephenson and the administrative team manage these property visits while answering questions about admission timelines, case management, and the facility’s specific safety protocols for medication and care tracking.
