Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 57th out of 141 homes in Kansas. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 12m per day | ▼ 72% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 1h 1m per day | ▲ 52% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 38m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 42m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 31m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 3h 35m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 12m per day | ▼ 59% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on November 5, 2024, identified deficiencies related to the facility’s failure to protect residents from resident-to-resident and employee-to-resident abuse and to adequately investigate and intervene in those cases. Earlier inspections showed multiple deficiencies in areas such as staffing, resident safety, care planning, sanitation, and medication management, with some issues recurring over time. Complaint investigations were substantiated, including an immediate jeopardy finding due to inadequate response to abuse allegations, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Prior complaints were also substantiated for inadequate care and sanitation practices, while some complaints were unsubstantiated. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with resident protection and staffing accuracy, with recent findings highlighting concerns about abuse investigations that were not noted in earlier reports.
