Medicalodges Wichita is a 55-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility at 2280 South Minneapolis Avenue in Wichita, Kansas. Owned and operated by Medicalodges, Inc.—a 100% employee-owned company—the facility specializes in short-stay rehabilitation and long-term care under CMS Certification Number 175008.
As a skilled nursing facility (SNF), the community provides 24-hour clinical nursing care and rehabilitation services primarily for a short-stay population, with a typical Medicare stay averaging 22 days. The facility carries a 3-out-of-5-star overall CMS rating. While health inspection scores are slightly better than the Kansas average, quality measures have been noted as an area for improvement, trending approximately 37% below state benchmarks. Based on current focused surveys, the community has maintained a citations-per-inspection rate of zero in recent standard health filings.
The facility’s staffing model is anchored by high Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) coverage, providing 57 minutes per resident per day—42% above the Kansas state average. Total adjusted nursing hours exceed the state average at 5 hours and 17 minutes daily, maintaining steady aggregate coverage even on weekends. However, Registered Nurse (RN) coverage averages 37 minutes per day, and nurse aide hours are 2 hours and 23 minutes, both trending slightly below Kansas state benchmarks. The clinical team coordinates a range of services, including diabetes management, wound care, and physical, occupational, and speech therapies.
The campus offers both private and semi-private rooms equipped with wheelchair-accessible showers and 24-hour emergency call systems. Dining services are managed on-site, offering chef-prepared meals with accommodations for therapeutic diets. All-inclusive services cover medical transportation, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and a social activities calendar featuring intergenerational programs and community outings. Common area amenities include a beauty salon, a library, and a rehabilitation gym for inpatient therapy.
Individuals seeking a mid-sized, employee-owned facility with high LPN staffing ratios and specialized short-term rehabilitation may find this setting appropriate. Prospective residents should contact the administrator directly to discuss current bed availability and review the most recent state quality measures and inspection documentation firsthand before making a placement decision.
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.

| 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.
| 42m per day | ▼ 3% 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.
| 52m per day | ▲ 31% 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 23m per day | ▼ 11% 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 27m per day | ▼ 4% 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.
| 0m per day | ▼ 82% 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.
| 28m per day | ▼ 7% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
