About 20 minutes from Wichita, Derby Health & Rehabilitation LLC is a skilled nursing and rehab facility in Derby, Kansas. DHRC Property Development operates the 74-bed home under the administration of Veena Rutter. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover care. Some residents may need short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay.
Residents stay an average of 61 days, suggesting the home leans strongly toward post-acute rehab and recovery. They may come after surgery, injury, or hospital discharge and need intensive hands-on care and therapy support.
Rehabilitation services are the center of care. Total nursing care averages 5 hours and 16 minutes per resident each day. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses share that work. Together, they help manage rehab needs and medical oversight.
Derby has a walkability score of 68 out of 100, so the neighborhood is moderately walkable. Visiting family members may handle many errands on foot. Nearby services are also reasonably accessible.
State inspections over recent years have tracked the home’s compliance with care standards. Earlier reviews found issues in care planning, infection control, and staffing management. Follow-up inspections later confirmed those deficiencies were corrected. The facility is now aligned with regulatory standards.
That compliance history shows some steady improvement. It also suggests the home responded to regulatory feedback over time. Families may still want to ask how those changes are maintained. A tour can help show how care and staffing look daily. The community has an occupancy rate of 93%, indicating strong utilization and consistent resident demand for its services.
Derby Health &Amp; Rehabilitation LLC is legally operated by Derby Health & Rehabilitation LLC, and administered by Veena Rutter.
