Meadowbrook Rehabilitation Hospital is a specialized facility located at 427 West Main Street in Gardner, Kansas. Owned by Recover-Care Healthcare, the center serves Johnson County as a 124-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital and a 42-bed certified skilled nursing program.
Meadowbrook is uniquely positioned as the only Medicaid-approved inpatient brain injury rehabilitation hospital in Kansas. This specialized mission serves high-acuity, neurologically complex patients who require hospital-level care rather than traditional nursing home services. While the facility currently carries a 1-out-of-5-star overall CMS rating for its skilled nursing component, its acute rehabilitation program is CARF-accredited, reflecting high standards for traumatic and acquired brain injury recovery. Recent 2026 filings show a health inspection score trending below state averages, though its focused citations-per-inspection rate remains zero for recent infection control surveys.
The facility’s staffing model reflects the high clinical intensity of its neurologically complex patient population. Registered Nurse (RN) coverage is 54 minutes per resident per day, 26% above the Kansas average, and weekend RN coverage is 40 minutes, providing 33% more oversight than the state benchmark. Total adjusted nursing hours are 3 hours and 16 minutes daily, with nurse aides providing 1 hour and 55 minutes of care. The interdisciplinary clinical team includes neuropsychologists, board-certified music therapists, recreational therapists, and 24/7 respiratory care for tracheostomy weaning and pulmonary medical recovery.
Residents live in a hospital-based environment that includes private rooms, wheelchair-accessible showers, and 24-hour medical monitoring. All-inclusive services cover specialized therapeutic dining, housekeeping, and on-site laundry facilities. Intensive restorative physical, occupational, and speech therapy is available seven days a week, alongside life skills training for community reintegration. The campus also features a rehabilitation gym, music therapy rooms, a computer lounge with Wi-Fi, and WanderGuard elopement prevention systems, while providing a pet-friendly environment and a hair salon for resident comfort.
Those requiring hospital-level rehabilitation for traumatic or acquired brain injuries may find this facility to be an essential regional resource. Individuals should contact the admissions director directly to discuss specific medical criteria, as the length of stay can range from months to over a year, and schedule a tour to assess the specialized acute care units firsthand.
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.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

This home is ranked 126th 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.
| 54m per day | ▲ 26% 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.
| 34m per day | ▼ 15% 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 10m 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 11m per day | ▼ 11% 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 |
|
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.
| 40m per day | ▲ 33% 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 July 21, 2016, found no deficiencies, confirming that previously cited issues had been corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident care, including skin condition assessments, fall investigations, infection control, medication management, and environmental safety such as secure handrails. A substantiated complaint investigation in August 2015 identified immediate jeopardy due to inadequate bathing care and failure to prevent resident elopement, which was later abated through corrective actions. Fines, license suspensions, or other enforcement actions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history indicates improvement over time, with more recent surveys showing resolution of prior deficiencies.
