Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (73% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 23 days.
Center at Waterfront runs an 80-bed skilled nursing facility on Lindberg Circle in Wichita, Kansas. The property is owned by Kenneth Deline, and the billing department handles standard payments through private pay and Medicare. With a Walk Score of 27, the surrounding area requires a car for most trips, meaning visitors and local families will generally need a vehicle to get to the campus.
Operations here center almost entirely on short-term medical rehab, which shows in the average length of stay of only 11 days. The facility is set up as a temporary pit stop to get patients safely back home after a hospital discharge rather than serving as a long-term home. To handle these quick turnarounds, the floor staff puts in 4 hours and 44 minutes of direct daily nursing care per resident.
Registered nurses, LPNs, and nurse aides share these duties, covering physical therapy, medical monitoring, and psychological support. Because the setup is built for short-term recovery, the building features private suites with personal bathrooms, adjustable beds, Wi-Fi, a beauty salon, and a daily menu from an executive chef.
Families can call the admissions department to set up a tour of the private suites and check out the physical therapy setups. The office staff runs these walkthroughs while walking you through the intake paperwork, open bed numbers, and the weekly dining options.
Center at Waterfront LLC is legally operated by Center At Waterfront LLC, and administered by David E. Smith.
In Kansas, the Department for Aging and Disability Services, Survey and Certification Commission performs the unannounced inspections required for facility licensing and federal certification.
