All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Kingman,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Desert Highlands runs 120 beds in Kingman under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, just under the 3.86 national average, but weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 45%, a hair under the national 45.8%, so retention is roughly typical rather than a crisis. Inspectors were last in on March 14, 2025, and the record shows 27 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but seven tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. Its three CMS star ratings all sit at the middle.
The Gardens Rehab & Care Center runs 58 certified beds in Kingman under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 14% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 57.1% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents change often. The current inspection record shows eight deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, and the quality measure rating sits at 2 out of 5. Staffing and health inspection ratings each land at 3. The most recent inspection was January 8, 2026, so the picture is current, not stale.
The Lingenfelter Center runs 88 certified beds in Kingman under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 46.4%, close to the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The current record holds 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but six are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Inspectors last visited in June 2024.
