Overview of Sunterra Springs Independence

Full occupancy, 27-day average stay, and a 38-bed census tell a clear story: this is a short-term rehabilitation operation, not a permanent-placement community. Sunterra Springs Independence, in Independence, Missouri, moves residents through the system; the community is designed for people in post-acute recovery, not long-term nursing care.

Registered nurses run 54 minutes per resident per day, which is substantive. Total nursing hours sit at 3 hours 22 minutes per resident per day. Physical therapy is unusually present at 19 minutes per resident per day, a signal that PT is built into the operation rather than contracted or sporadic. For a short-stay rehab facility, that makes sense; the place is designed for people who need to recover and leave, not settle.

The neighborhood is somewhat walkable with a Walk Score of only 30. Visiting family and staff can handle some errands on foot, but a car is the baseline expectation. The facility takes Medicare and private pay, which means families working through either pathway should find coverage options available.

State inspections have focused on staffing credentials and care planning. What this facility appears to be: a short-term rehab operation built for throughput, with staffing and PT directed toward getting residents mobile and functional again. That is a specific care model and a specific resident profile.

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +866% above state avg
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. 54m per day ▲ 93% State avg: 28m 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. 55m per day ▲ 34% State avg: 41m 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. 2h 7m per day ▼ 9% State avg: 2h 20m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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 ▲ 17% State avg: 3h 3m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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. 19m per day ▲ 866% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m 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. 41m per day ▲ 105% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 29m per day
