Overview of Wheatridge Park Care Center

Wheatridge Park Care Center is a 45-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation community in Liberal, Kansas, offering skilled nursing, extended care, short-term rehabilitation, respite care, and memory care. The facility is operated by Liberal SNF Holdco LLC. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

CMS rates the facility 1 star overall — primarily due to its Health Inspection score, which is 62% below the Kansas average. Over seven years of inspection data on file, the facility averaged 15.3 deficiencies per year, compared with a Kansas average of 6.

Two substantiated complaint investigations, in 2014 and 2015, identified failures in fall prevention, medication oversight, and resident care planning. No fines or enforcement actions were documented.

The most recent inspection, in August 2018, found zero deficiencies — a marked contrast to earlier years. Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 49 minutes per resident per day, 19% below the Kansas average of 4 hours and 43 minutes, with Quality Measures also trailing the state.

The facility’s occupancy rate tells a different story: at 98%, the facility operates near capacity, well above the Kansas average of 79.5%. The Rehab to Home program targets short-stay post-acute recovery. The facility also provides 24-hour staffing.

Wheatridge Park Care Center is best suited for residents seeking skilled nursing or short-term rehabilitation in Seward County, particularly those prioritizing proximity and immediate availability over star-rating benchmarks.
