This home is ranked 105th out of 133 homes in Kansas.| 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.
| 31m per day | ▼ 28% 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.
| 56m per day | ▲ 40% 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 9m per day | ▼ 20% State avg: 2h 41m per day · National avg: 2h 20m 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.
| 2h 52m per day | ▼ 20% 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.
| 3m per day | ▲ 50% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m 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.
| 10m per day | ▼ 67% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on February 17, 2020 found the facility in compliance with all regulations and no deficiencies were cited. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident care planning, assistance with activities of daily living, pain management, safe transfer techniques, and medication management, including failure to act on pharmacist recommendations. Complaint investigations substantiated issues such as inadequate supervision leading to resident elopements and delays in reporting and investigating neglect. Enforcement actions included denial of payment for new Medicare and Medicaid admissions due to pressure ulcer care deficiencies and immediate jeopardy findings related to resident safety, but these were resolved in subsequent inspections. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with all deficiencies corrected by the most recent survey.
