Overview of Prairie Sunset Home

An 88 percent occupancy rate keeps things moving at Prairie Sunset Home, a 43-bed skilled nursing facility that has been operating for 31 years in Pretty Prairie, Kansas. Run by administrator Aaron D. Kelley Jr. and Prairie Sunset Home, Inc., the billing office accepts standard payment setups like private pay, Medicare, and Medicaid. Because the rural location has a Walk Score of 23, visiting family members and guests will need a car to get around and run errands.

Long-term care is a major part of the daily routine here, with residents staying for an average of 442 days. To keep up with these extended medical needs, the floor staff logs an average of 5 hours and 34 minutes of direct nursing care per resident every day. That daily time breaks down to 3 hours and 43 minutes from nurse aides, 44 minutes from registered nurses, and 36 minutes from licensed practical nurses, all working under a staff with an average caregiver tenure of nearly six years.

While past state reviews flagged issues with care planning, food sanitation, and infection control, the facility cleared those up and was found in full compliance during its most recent inspection.

Older adults can call the main desk to set up a walkthrough of the building, look over the therapy areas, and see the kitchen where fresh meals are made daily. The administrative team coordinates these visits while answering questions about laundry options, housekeeping, local transportation, and the scheduled group activities.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 44m per day ■ Avg State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 36m per day ▼ 11% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 43m per day ▲ 39% State avg: 2h 41m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day

Weekend RN Info 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. 22m per day ▼ 27% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day

Inspection History

In Kansas, the Department for Aging and Disability Services, Survey and Certification Commission performs the unannounced inspections required for facility licensing and federal certification.

Since 2013 · 13 years of data 293 deficiencies

Inspection Scorecard Info This scorecard compares key inspection, deficiency, and complaint metrics at this facility against the Kansas state average. Metrics rated ≥15% worse than average are highlighted in red; those ≥15% better are highlighted in green.

Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

  • The most recent inspection on April 14, 2025, found the facility in compliance with all regulations and no deficiencies were cited. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to care planning, pain management, staffing documentation, psychotropic medication use, food sanitation, and infection control, with corrective actions implemented after each survey. Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated, except for a notable substantiated case in 2019 involving inadequate care for residents with pressure ulcers and urinary incontinence. Enforcement actions occurred in earlier years, including denial of payment for new admissions due to deficiencies related to physical restraints and safety hazards, but no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The trend indicates improvement over time, with recent inspections showing correction of prior issues and compliance maintained at the latest survey.
