Overview of Locust Grove Village

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

Info 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.

Hours per resident per day — compared to Kansas state averages

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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 Info 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 Info 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
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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 Info 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
Weekend RN Info 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

Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

  • The most recent inspection on November 13, 2018, found one deficiency related to the failure to conduct quarterly reviews of the facility’s emergency management plan with employees and residents. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving medication administration, reporting and investigation of incidents, resident supervision and safety, dietary services, and care planning. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including issues with timely reporting of incidents, resident elopement risk, and mistreatment, with one incident resulting in resident death and enforcement actions such as denial of payment for new admissions imposed at times. Fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports, but enforcement remedies were noted for repeated noncompliance. The facility’s inspection history shows periods of improvement following plans of correction, though some issues recurred over time, indicating a mixed compliance trend.
