Mostly long-term care residents
Most residents stay for extended periods and receive ongoing daily care.
New residents most often arrive under private pay (37% of admissions), and a typical private pay stay runs around 1 - 2 months.
Life Care Center of Andover is a 154-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility offering skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, and respite stays in Andover, Kansas. Operated by Andover Real Estate Investors LLC, the community serves Butler County residents and takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
The inspection record is the defining factor in evaluating this facility. Over a nine-year window, the facility averaged 42.3 deficiencies annually, 605 percent above Kansas’ average of 6, and accumulated multiple immediate jeopardy findings. Two substantiated elopements in early 2019 each reached immediate jeopardy status; in one, a cognitively impaired resident walked to a neighboring building in 26°F weather after staff failed to respond to a door alarm. An April 2019 finding of immediate jeopardy was tied to failure to maintain a resident’s airway and oxygenation, resulting in death. Enforcement actions during the window included denial of payment for new Medicare and Medicaid admissions. The facility holds a 1-star CMS overall rating, driven by a health inspection score 62.4 percent below Kansas’ average. The most recent inspection on file in February 2020 found the facility in full compliance, with all prior deficiencies corrected; no inspection data is available after that date. Quality Measures notably run 24.6 percent above state average.
Confirmed amenities include a fine dining program, landscaped grounds, a beauty salon, and a certified dietitian. Occupancy at the last recorded inspection stood at 46 percent, well below Kansas’ 79.5 percent average.
The facility’s size and care mix — skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation under one roof — orient it toward residents in Butler County needing post-acute or long-term clinical care across multiple acuity levels.
Life Care Center of Andover is administered by Jo Ann Olsen.
