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.
Medicalodges Atchison is administrated by Shawna Hoschouer.
