Tanglewood Nursing and Rehabilitation is a skilled nursing facility in Topeka, Kansas. Its location on Southwest 28th Street has a Walkability Score of 78 out of 100, so families can easily visit and run errands nearby. CCP Westwood Manor operates the home, and Christine Kuhn administers it. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families multiple ways to cover short-term rehabilitation and ongoing nursing care.
The 54-bed community has an occupancy rate of 85%. Residents stay an average of 236 days, including those recovering from illness or injury and those requiring longer-term care. Daily nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 7 minutes per resident. Registered nurses provide about 19 minutes, nurse aides contribute 2 hours and 15 minutes, and licensed practical nurses round out the care team with 34 minutes per resident each day.
The home focuses on rehabilitation services to support residents as they recover from surgery, hospitalization, stroke, and other acute health events. The home’s nursing coverage and rehabilitation focus make it a great choice for families seeking post-acute care in a smaller community setting.
State inspections reviewed the home’s performance in the past 14 years. Earlier surveys found concerns with pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, medication management, and infection control. Food sanitation and environmental safety were also noted. The facility has since addressed those deficiencies, and recent inspections confirm that earlier issues have been resolved.
Families evaluating the home can ask staff how these areas are managed daily.
Tanglewood Nursing and Rehabilitation is legally operated by Tanglewood Nursing And Rehabilitation, and administered by Christine Kuhn.
In Kansas, the Department for Aging and Disability Services, Survey and Certification Commission performs the unannounced inspections required for facility licensing and federal certification.
