Paramount Community Living and Rehab INC is a 101-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility at 200 SW 14th Street in Newton, Kansas, part of a continuing care retirement community in Harvey County. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay accepted, with most residents on long-term stays averaging 125 days.
CMS scores the facility 2 stars, 27.8 percent below Kansas average, driven by a health inspection sub-rating running 24.8 percent below state mean. The latest inspection found the facility in full compliance with zero deficiencies; across 3 inspections since 2021, the facility recorded 26 total citations, all moderate or minor in severity, with no critical or serious findings and no fines or payment denials in the past three years. Staffing is the facility’s clear strength: nurse hours reach 5h 32m per resident daily, 18 percent above Kansas average, with CNA hours running 53 percent above state figure and weekend nursing hours 37 percent above. Physical therapist hours run 150 percent above the Kansas mean. The community operates near capacity with limited availability at 93 percent occupancy, well above Kansas’s 79.5 percent average and ranked 50th out of 217 state facilities.
An active resident council is in place. Care levels within the CCRC are independent living cottages, assisted living, rapid recovery, and 24-hour skilled nursing.
The community caters to long-term Medicaid and private-pay residents in Newton within a full-continuum CCRC setting.
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.

This home is ranked 29th out of 141 homes in Kansas for nurse hours. 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.
| 30m per day | ▼ 29% 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.
| 39m per day | ▼ 4% 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.
| 4h 20m per day | ▲ 61% 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.
| 5h 5m per day | ▲ 42% 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.
| 3m per day | ▲ 34% 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.
| 18m per day | ▼ 41% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
