Life Care Center of Burlington is a 77-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility operated by Burlington Real Estate Investors LLC at 601 Cross Street in Burlington, Kansas, in Coffey County. Welcomed are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, serving a mostly long-term population averaging a stay of 119 days.
CMS rates the facility 3 stars, 8.3 percent above the Kansas average, with health inspection and quality measures both above the state mean at 12.8 percent and 24.6 percent apiece. Staffing runs 16.9 percent below the Kansas average and is the primary drag on the overall rating. Across 5 inspections since 2021, the facility totaled 23 total including 1 serious finding, with no fines or payment denials in the past three years and no deficiencies cited in the latest inspection. At 96 percent occupancy which is well above Kansas’ 79.5 percent average and ranked 41st out of 217 state facilities, the community is near-capacity with limited availability.
On-site nurse aide training is present. A secured dementia care unit is a program, along with skilled nursing and inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation.
With above-average quality outcomes and strong local demand, the facility is built for long-term skilled nursing and secured memory care in rural Coffey County.
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.

This home is ranked 107th 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.
| 20m per day | ▼ 53% 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.
| 47m per day | ▲ 17% 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 34m per day | ▼ 4% 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 10m per day | ▼ 12% 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.
| 2m per day | ■ Avg 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.
| 9m per day | ▼ 70% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
