Overview of North Point
North Point is a 72-bed skilled nursing community at 908 North Pearl Street in Paola, Miami County, Kansas, independently owned and operated by Holly Hess. The facility specializes in skilled nursing, rehabilitation, hospice care, and memory care services across a 103-day average length of stay.
A three-year compliance record shows zero penalties, a baseline signal of regulatory stability. On CMS metrics, the community’s health inspection rating sits 72.9% above the Kansas average. Quality measures also run 29.4% above the state average. Staffing hours, however, present a concern: at 3 hours 44 minutes per resident per day, the facility runs 19% below the Kansas average, placing it 122nd among 141 state facilities. Physical therapist availability breaks this pattern, running 50% above state average.
Long-stay patients show excellent results on hard safety metrics: falls with major injury occur in only 1.4% of residents (68% better than state average), urinary tract infections are absent, and antipsychotic medication use is 78% better than state average. Hospitalization and emergency department visits both run significantly better than state benchmarks
On the other hand: pressure ulcer rates in high-risk populations reach 10.2%, more than twice the state average, and functional decline measures run 14% worse than peers. For short-stay rehabilitation, 59.1% of residents return successfully to home or community; a rate 17% above state average.
The community offers chef-prepared dining, fitness classes, an on-site salon, pet-friendly spaces, and structured activities.
Current occupancy of 54.9% sits well below the state average, indicating available capacity. The mix of Medicare (46% of admissions), private pay (46%), and Medicaid (8%) reflects a rehabilitation and post-acute focus.
North Point is structured for short-term Medicare rehabilitation and mixed-acuity skilled nursing, serving residents seeking intensive rehabilitation support with ongoing access to therapy and medical oversight.
Quality ratings
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.

vs Kansas avg
-19%
| 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.
| 26m per day | ▼ 39% 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.
| 37m per day | ▼ 8% 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 7m per day | ▼ 22% State avg: 2h 42m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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.
| 2h 56m per day | ▼ 18% 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 |
|
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.
