Medicalodges Atchison is a 45-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility located at 1637 Riley Street in Atchison, Kansas. Owned and operated by Medicalodges, Inc., a 100% employee-owned company, the facility has served Atchison County for 28 years, providing Medicare and Medicaid-certified services.
As a skilled nursing facility (SNF), the community provides 24-hour clinical nursing care and rehabilitation services under the federal Medicare and Medicaid framework. While state-wide averages for health citations in Kansas remain near 10, Medicalodges Atchison has maintained a citations-per-inspection rate of zero in recent focused surveys, and a June 2024 health inspection recorded performance levels effectively in line with state averages. The 100% occupancy rate, compared to a state average of 79.5%, reflects high local utilization for its 45-bed capacity.
The facility’s staffing model features high Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) coverage, providing 1 hour and 17 minutes per resident per day, nearly double the Kansas state average of 40 minutes. Direct care is further supported by nurse aides who provide 2 hours and 51 minutes of daily care, slightly exceeding the state benchmark. While RN hours (32 minutes) and physical therapy hours (1 minute) trend below state averages, the facility maintains steady weekend nursing coverage and coordinates a range of specialized services, including diabetes management, music therapy, and wound care.
The campus offers both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care in a setting featuring private bathrooms and wheelchair-accessible showers. Dining services are managed on-site, offering restaurant-style dining with specific accommodations for low-sodium, no-sugar, and vegetarian diets. All-inclusive services cover medical transportation, cable TV, and social programming, including intergenerational activities and on-site devotional services. Common areas include a garden, a beauty salon, and a rehabilitation gym for inpatient therapy.
Individuals seeking a fully occupied, employee-owned facility with exceptionally high LPN staffing ratios may find this setting appropriate. Prospective residents should contact the administrator directly to discuss current bed availability and review the most recent state survey reports to assess quality measures firsthand before proceeding with a placement.
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 40th out of 141 homes in Kansas for nurse hours. 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.
| 29m per day | ▼ 32% 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.
| 1h 10m per day | ▲ 74% 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 40m per day | ■ Avg 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 31m 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 | ▼ 48% 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.
| 19m per day | ▼ 37% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
