Nursing Home · Kansas, KS
Locust Grove Village is a 38-bed skilled nursing and long-term care facility located at 701 West 6th Street in La Crosse, Kansas. Operated by the Rush County Nursing Home Society, a county-affiliated nonprofit, the facility provides Medicare and Medicaid-certified services to Rush County and the surrounding rural communities of western Kansas.
As a skilled nursing facility (SNF), the community provides 24-hour clinical care and rehabilitation services under federal Medicare and Medicaid frameworks. Despite a small census and an occupancy rate of approximately 34%, well below the state average, the facility has maintained a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent 2026 focused health filings. Long-stay quality outcomes are a notable strength, with hospitalization rates of 0.74 per 1,000 resident days, performing 60% better than the Kansas state average.
The staffing model is characterized by high hands-on care, with nurse aides providing 3 hours and 11 minutes of daily care, 19% above the state average. While Registered Nurse (RN) hours are 40 minutes and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) hours are 28 minutes, both trending below Kansas state benchmarks, the facility ensures a licensed nurse is on duty 24/7. The clinical team coordinates a broad service spectrum, including memory care, respite care, and an adult day services program that supports seniors for up to 12 hours a day.
The campus offers a range of residential options, from retirement apartments to skilled nursing rooms, all featuring 24-hour emergency call systems. All-inclusive services cover three nutritional meals daily, housekeeping, and personal laundry, alongside social activities coordinated by an activity director. Campus amenities include an activity center, outdoor communal areas, and a rehabilitation gym where contracted therapists provide physical, occupational, and speech therapy. The property is pet-friendly and located less than one mile from Rush County Memorial Hospital, ensuring rapid access to acute medical care.
Those seeking a smaller, nonprofit facility with exceptional long-stay clinical results may find this environment appropriate. Individuals evaluating the home should contact the administrator directly to discuss current bed availability and review the full inspection history, which includes past Immediate Jeopardy findings, with the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services before making a placement decision.
Staffing hours breakdown
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.
| 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.
| 40m per day | ▼ 7% 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.
| 28m per day | ▼ 30% 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.
| 3h 11m per day | ▲ 19% 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.
| 3h 39m per day | ■ Avg 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 | ▼ 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.
| 25m per day | ▼ 17% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
