Kansas Christian Home is a nonprofit, church-affiliated senior living community located at 1035 SE 3rd Street in Newton, Kansas. Owned by Friends of Kansas Christian Home Inc., the campus operates as a Life Plan community, providing a continuum of care that includes independent living, assisted living, specialized memory care, and skilled nursing.
As a skilled nursing facility (SNF), the community provides 24-hour clinical care and rehabilitation under the federal Medicare and Medicaid framework. The facility currently carries a 5-out-of-5-star overall CMS rating, the highest possible designation. This rating is supported by a health inspection score that trends significantly above the Kansas state average. Notably, based on the most recent 2026 focused health filings, the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero.
Staffing levels are a significant metric for the facility, which provides approximately 4 hours and 41 minutes of total nursing care per resident per day—ranking it among the top half of Kansas skilled nursing providers. Direct care is anchored by Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) who provide 3 hours and 4 minutes of daily care and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) at 47 minutes daily, both figures exceeding state benchmarks. While Registered Nurse (RN) coverage averages 34 minutes per day, which is below the state average, the facility maintains steady weekend nursing coverage at 3 hours and 48 minutes per resident day. The clinical team primarily serves a short-term rehabilitation population, with Medicare accounting for approximately 56% of new admissions.
The 92-unit campus features private and semi-private rooms equipped with Skynet technology for electronic medication administration and emergency response systems. All-inclusive services cover restaurant-style dining with spiritual and social programs designed to promote overall wellness. Social and spiritual features include religious activities, intergenerational programming, and the “Legacy of John” charitable care fund to support residents in financial need. Residents also have access to landscaped grounds, outdoor communal areas, pet-friendly policies, and convenient services such as weekly housekeeping and medical transportation.
Those seeking a top-rated, nonprofit community with a deep focus on mission-driven care and strong staffing stability may find this environment appropriate. Individuals evaluating the facility should contact the administration directly to discuss current bed availability, which often remains near 90% occupancy, and schedule a tour to assess the social and spiritual programming firsthand.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

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.
| 35m per day | ▼ 19% 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.
| 42m per day | ▲ 5% 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 52m per day | ▲ 7% State avg: 2h 41m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
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 44m per day | ▲ 4% State avg: 3h 35m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 1m per day | ▼ 36% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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.
| 20m per day | ▼ 32% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
Average number of days residents stay at this facility, based on CMS cost report data. Shorter stays often reflect post-acute or rehab care; longer stays reflect long-term care.

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
Payroll as a share of revenue: staff salaries and wage-related benefits divided by net patient revenue. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay.
