Medicalodges Fort Scott is a 45-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation community located at 915 South Horton in Fort Scott, Kansas. Owned and operated by Medicalodges, Inc.—a 100% employee-owned company—the facility serves Bourbon County and the surrounding region with an active license through June 30, 2026.
As a skilled nursing facility (SNF), the community provides 24-hour clinical nursing and rehabilitation under the federal Medicare and Medicaid framework. The facility currently carries a 1-out-of-5-star overall CMS rating, which reflects health inspection performance much below state averages. However, based on the most recent 2026 focused health filings, the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero for current infection control surveys. Occupancy stands at approximately 73%, providing a local resource for short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, and respite stays.
The staffing model provides 3 hours and 59 minutes of total nursing care per resident per day, which is largely consistent with the Kansas state average. Registered Nurse (RN) coverage is 45 minutes daily (5% above average), while nurse aides provide 2 hours and 38 minutes of daily care, matching the state benchmark. Weekend total nursing coverage is 3 hours and 16 minutes, and physical therapy hours are 50% higher than the state average at 3 minutes per resident day. The clinical team coordinates specialized services, including wound care, IV therapy, and post-surgical recovery.
Residents live in a setting featuring private or semi-private suites equipped with 24-hour emergency call systems and wheelchair-accessible showers. All-inclusive services cover restaurant-style dining with special dietary preparations, housekeeping, and medical transportation. Social life is supported by an activity center, outdoor common areas, and big-screen TVs for communal gatherings. The campus is pet-friendly and located less than two miles from Mercy Hospital, ensuring rapid access to acute medical support.
Those seeking a smaller, employee-owned facility with RN staffing levels slightly above state benchmarks may find this environment appropriate. Individuals evaluating the home should contact the administrator directly to discuss current bed availability and review the most recent health survey reports 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.

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.
| 41m per day | ▼ 6% 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.
| 51m per day | ▲ 28% 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 4m per day | ▲ 14% 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 46m per day | ▲ 5% 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.
| 4m per day | ▲ 77% 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.
| 20m per day | ▼ 34% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
Average number of days residents stay at this facility, based on CMS cost report data. Shorter stays often reflect post-acute or rehab care; longer stays reflect long-term care.

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
Payroll as a share of revenue: staff salaries and wage-related benefits divided by net patient revenue. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay.
