Overview of Sandstone Heights Nursing Home

John Gaines owns Sandstone Heights Nursing Home, a smaller 36-bed skilled nursing community located in Little River, Kansas. The business office works within standard regional pathways for billing, accepting private pay, along with Medicare and Medicaid options. Earning a Walk Score of 22, the surrounding rural territory is car-dependent, meaning families and guests will generally need a vehicle to visit, though the location offers a quiet setting.

The facility maintains a current census of 22 residents, representing a 61 percent occupancy rate. Stays average about 232 days, reflecting a standard operational balance between long-term residential stays and temporary post-acute therapy tracks. Daily clinical needs are covered by a 24-hour nursing team that averages 5 hours and 29 minutes of direct care per resident each day, including 57 minutes from registered nurses.

This floor staff monitors recovery therapies and specialized clinical care, including fall prevention, resident supervision, and pressure ulcer treatments, which have been the focus of recent state compliance updates. Outside of clinical care, dietitians plan tailored meals where guests can join for a small fee, and the social calendar offers activities like Bible study, church services, sing-alongs, and barbecues.

Prospective residents can reach out to the administrative desk to coordinate an in-person property walk, view the bedroom layouts, and see the recreational areas. The front office manages these tours while answering direct questions regarding admission paperwork, open bed availability, arranged medical transportation, and current state inspection records.

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.	57m per day	▲ 34% 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.	36m 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 16m per day	▼ 15% 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 33m per day	■ Avg 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	▼ 80% 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.	50m per day	▲ 67% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day

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

The most recent inspection on December 27, 2018, resulted in no deficiency citations. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to resident care, including fall assessments, pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, catheter care, and supervision to prevent accidents. Complaint investigations substantiated issues such as inadequate supervision leading to falls and elopement risks, as well as failures in timely reporting of resident falls and injuries. Enforcement actions included denial of payment for new Medicare and Medicaid admissions following findings related to pressure ulcers, but no license suspensions or fines were listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with the most recent inspection free of deficiencies after previous corrective actions were implemented.
