Phillips County Retirement Center

Phillipsburg, KS · Phillips County

CMS 1/540 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
4.21 /day
Staff turnover
39%
Serious cites
0

Phillips County Retirement Center has a staffing story that cuts both ways. The 4.21 nurse hours per resident day tops the national average by roughly 9%, and turnover at 38.7% actually beats the 45.8% norm, but weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, and CMS's own staffing rating lands at just 1 out of 5. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 36 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. For a 40-bed nonprofit, that's a lot of regulatory history to weigh against the favorable turnover number.

Lakeview Village

Lakeview Village runs on a nonprofit model with 158 certified beds in Lenexa, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.86 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86. That staffing depth is real, and it holds up reasonably on weekends, dipping only about 6% from weekday levels. Turnover lands at 41.1%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. What pulls the record down is inspection history: 26 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus two fines totaling $35,619. The most recent inspection was April 22, 2026. Strong staffing, middling inspections, that's the tradeoff here.

Sterling Village

Sterling Village runs a nonprofit home of 45 beds in Rice County, and the numbers split cleanly in two directions. Nursing hours come in at 4.42 per resident day, roughly 14 percent above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 33.3 percent against a national 45.8, that's a workforce that mostly stays put, though weekend coverage drops about 8 percent below its own weekday level. The trouble is on the health inspection side: 18 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, one fine of $24,206, and a January 2025 inspection that produced a 2-out-of-5 rating. Nobody here is accused of abuse. But two harm-level findings is the part I'd ask about directly.

Buhler Sunshine Home

Buhler, KS · Reno County

CMS 4/555 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
33%
Serious cites
0

Buhler Sunshine Home runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and the numbers show a home that's well staffed but not without paperwork problems. At 5.22 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 35% above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips, roughly 6% below its own weekday level, which is a small gap. Staff turnover of 32.9% also beats the national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses tend to stick around longer here than at most places. The tradeoffs: 15 deficiencies on the current record, though none involved actual harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was February 2025. Quality measure scores came in at 2 out of 5, which is the weakest part of the picture.

Lincoln Park Manor Inc

Lincoln, KS · Lincoln County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
32%

Lincoln Park Manor runs a lean but well-staffed ship: 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average, with weekend coverage holding steady within 3% of weekdays. Turnover sits at 31.9% against a national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. The concerns show up elsewhere. Thirty-seven deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, and a quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 suggest the clinical outcomes don't match the staffing picture. The last inspection was August 2025, so the record is recent. As a nonprofit with 36 beds, it's small enough that one bad stretch shows up fast in the numbers.

The Wheatlands Health Care Center

Kingman, KS · Kingman County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

The Wheatlands runs a lean nonprofit shop in Kingman with 54 beds, and the numbers that matter most here are on the staffing side. At 4.51 nurse hours per resident day, it's running about 17% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 36.5% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, that combination usually means people stay, and residents see familiar faces. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% from weekday levels, which is worth asking about directly. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies with nothing at the harm level and no abuse findings, and the most recent survey was in December 2024, so the picture is current.
