This home is ranked 84th out of 133 homes in Kansas.| 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.
| 32m per day | ▼ 26% 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.
| 44m per day | ▲ 10% 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 31m per day | ▼ 7% State avg: 2h 42m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 8m per day | ▼ 12% 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 | ▼ 50% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 26m per day | ▼ 10% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on September 5, 2024, identified multiple deficiencies related to resident care, sanitation, infection control, and staffing data accuracy. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with resident dignity, supervision, medication management, and environmental sanitation, including prior findings in the beauty shop, kitchen, and refuse disposal areas. Inspectors cited concerns such as inadequate personal hygiene assistance, incomplete care plans for wandering residents, unsanitary food preparation, and failure to follow infection control protocols. A complaint investigation in May 2023 found the facility failed to protect residents from inappropriate sexual behaviors, though law enforcement did not substantiate abuse. The facility’s deficiencies have persisted over time with recurring themes in resident care and environment, indicating ongoing challenges rather than clear improvement.
