Larksfield Place
in Wichita, KS, grade A, 94/100.
Larksfield Place runs on lean, steady staffing: 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, and weekend coverage drops only about 9% from weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out much on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 33.9% against a national average near 46%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in October 2024. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders. The numbers describe a home that is well-staffed, stable, and currently clear of serious findings.
Mount St. Mary is a small nonprofit home in Wichita, just 24 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 5.08 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about a third above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only slightly below its own weekday level, which is better than many homes manage. Staff turnover sits at 31%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025. For a family weighing a move, the picture is steady hands and recent oversight.
Ascension Living Via Christi Village McLean runs 36 beds in Wichita under nonprofit corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.39 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover lands at 40.5%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 14 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, so the four-star inspection rating comes with real findings attached. Staffing and quality measures both rate four or five stars.
Regent Park runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.70 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its inspection record backs that up, with a five-star health inspection rating and a recent survey in February 2026 that turned up no deficiencies causing harm or jeopardy, and none related to abuse. The 15 deficiencies on file are the ordinary kind, not the alarming kind. Weekend staffing dips about 15% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 48.9%, a bit above the national 45.8%, so consistency of caregivers is worth asking about directly.
Wichita Presbyterian Manor runs 50 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.69 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average. Weekends dip about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care a resident gets Saturday and Sunday isn't quite the weekdays' pace. Staff turnover is the sticking point: 59.6% annually against a 45.8% national average, meaning well over half the nursing staff leaves each year. Inspections were last done in May 2025 and the record shows 18 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. Strong quality scores don't erase that kind of churn.
Lakepoint Wichita runs a 110-bed for-profit operation, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card, 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average. The catch is turnover: 54.5% annually, nearly nine points above the national figure, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage you see on paper isn't always the coverage your family member gets. The inspection record is the real concern: 46 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. Quality and staffing measures both scored well, but a 2/5 on health inspections, last surveyed in December 2024, means the clinical and physical plant side has repeatedly fallen short.
Life Care Center of Wichita runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 37.8% against a national 45.8% means fewer unfamiliar faces than at the typical home. The health inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2025. Strong quality and staffing marks sit alongside that inspection history, read it as a home doing well on care measures with some compliance gaps worth asking about directly.
Family Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 72 certified beds in Wichita under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.81 hours per resident day, roughly 25% above the national average of 3.86. That's a genuine cushion, though weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week.
The bigger concern is turnover: 66.3% annually against a national average of 45.8%. Aides and nurses cycling through that fast can undercut even good staffing numbers, since residents see new faces constantly.
The record shows 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but 2 tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. Inspections are recent, from March 2026, and both the health inspection and quality measure ratings land at 4 out of 5 stars.
Azria Health Wichita runs a for-profit limited liability operation with 70 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the real story here: 5.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86. That's meaningful coverage, though weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday levels, and staff turnover sits at 68% against a national average of 45.8%, a lot of churn for a building this size. The inspection record shows 39 deficiencies, one of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated February 2026. If you're weighing this one, the bedside hours are a genuine strength; the turnover and the harm-level finding are the parts worth asking about directly.
Avita Health and Rehab at Reeds Cove runs 76 certified beds in Wichita under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.80 hours per resident day, roughly 24% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekends dip about 14% below the home's own weekday numbers, so coverage isn't even across the week. Turnover is the harder fact: 67.3% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your family member are relatively new. The inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a single fine of $8,827. The most recent inspection was May 2026.
Staffing is this home's strongest number. At 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 16% above the national average, and a 38.2% turnover rate sits well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekends thin out roughly 11% from weekday coverage, worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays.
The trouble sits in the inspection record. Twenty-two deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and a $36,040 fine. The most recent inspection was in February 2026. Strong day-to-day care, but a survey history that needs explaining before you sign anything.
