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.

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.

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.

Diversicare Of Larned holds 80 certified beds in Pawnee County, and its inspection record is the strongest thing it has going: 19 deficiencies on the current record with none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, from an inspection dated January 8, 2026. Staffing tells a different story. At 3.40 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 12 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13 percent below its own weekday numbers. Annual turnover of 52.1 percent sits above the 45.8 percent national figure, so aides cycling out is a real pattern here, not a one-off. The corporate for-profit owner keeps quality measures high, but thin weekend coverage is worth asking about directly.

Citizens Medical Center Ltcu sits in Colby, run by a nonprofit corporation, and the staffing picture is better than most: 4.07 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends get thinner, though, roughly 17 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, and that gap is where problems tend to surface in nursing homes. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a single fine of $17,124 and a last inspection in August 2024. Staff turnover runs 47.4 percent, slightly above the national figure, so the people delivering that above-average care are still cycling through.

Brookside Retirement Community runs 60 certified beds in Overbrook under corporate for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below weekdays, that thinner weekend coverage matters when a resident needs help on a Saturday. Annual turnover of 44.9% is roughly in line with the 45.8% national figure, so continuity isn't unusually bad here. The inspection record shows 7 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations, and one fine totaling $21,645. That harm-level finding, paired with below-average staffing, is what pulls the overall picture down despite strong quality measure scores.

Locust Grove Village runs a 38-bed nonprofit home in La Crosse, and its staffing is genuinely better than most, 4.27 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, though, when coverage drops about 14% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 52.5% versus 45.8% nationally, so the faces change often. The inspection record is where the concerns concentrate: 11 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $12,779 fine, with the last inspection in September 2024. Quality measures land mid-range, inspection performance below average, staffing above it.

Kansas Christian Home runs a church-affiliated nonprofit with 54 beds in Newton, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, which is the main reason its staffing rating lands at 4 stars. That cushion thins on weekends, when hours drop about 11% below the home's own weekday pace. Annual turnover of 50.9% edges past the national 45.8%, and the inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Its last inspection was May 2026, so that record is recent, not stale. Quality and health inspection measures both come in at 3 stars, solid enough, but the deficiency history is the piece worth asking about directly.

Parsons Presbyterian Manor runs a nonprofit home with 43 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.60 hours per resident day, about 19 percent above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest part of the picture, and it shows in a five-star staffing rating. Other numbers pull the other way. Staff turnover hits 56 percent against a national average near 46, and weekend coverage drops roughly 11 percent below its own weekday level. Inspections look strong on the star rating, yet the record holds 19 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $14,433. High marks on paper, real gaps in the details.

Trinity Manor runs about 46 beds in Dodge City under for-profit LLC ownership, and its most recent inspection wrapped up in January 2025, so the record you're looking at is current, not stale. The health inspection side holds up reasonably well, but 15 deficiencies on file include two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, which is the kind of thing worth asking about directly rather than glossing over. Staffing sits slightly under the national average at 3.69 nurse hours per resident day, and weekends run thinner than weekdays by roughly 12%, so coverage can dip when it matters. Turnover at 40.5% is better than average, though two fines totaling $29,773 suggest the problems weren't just paperwork.

The Cedars in McPherson is a 54-bed nonprofit home where nurses spend more time per resident than most places in the country, about 4.98 hours a day versus a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover sits at 64.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so consistent caregiving is the weak spot. Its last inspection came in January 2026, and the record holds 29 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but four tied to abuse. Subtract the inspection strength and the staffing picture gets wobblier than the raw hours suggest.

Salina Presbyterian Manor runs a nonprofit home of 60 beds, and its staffing is genuinely strong, 4.75 nurse hours per resident day, about 23% above the national average, with weekends only about 10% thinner than weekdays. That helps explain the four-star staffing rating. The problem sits elsewhere: 29 deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding and $30,861 in fines across three cases. Staff turnover is 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was October 2023. Good coverage, but the compliance history is what a family should ask about directly.

Evergreen Community of Johnson County is a nonprofit home in Olathe with 86 certified beds, and its staffing is the standout fact: 5.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, earning a 5-out-of-5 staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 45.3%, basically the national average, meaning the strong hours aren't coming from a unusually stable team. Inspections in February 2026 produced a 4-star health rating but 24 deficiencies on record, two at the harm level, and $22,913 in fines. Quality measures scored 2 out of 5, the weak spot. Plenty of nursing time, mixed clinical results.

Catholic Care Center runs a nonprofit home with 159 certified beds in Bel Aire, and its staffing numbers are genuinely above average, 4.28 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage, so the weekday ratio overstates what a Saturday looks like. The bigger concerns sit elsewhere: staff turnover of 57.1% runs well past the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record shows 38 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $24,205 fine. The last inspection was December 2024. Strong staffing and quality marks don't cancel out a two-star inspection history or the churn that keeps replacing the people providing the care.

Hillside Village Of De Soto Rehabilitation And Nur runs 49 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.79 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. That gap is small, but the weekend pattern matters more: staffing drops about 9% below its own weekday level, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 45.2%, a hair under the national 45.8%, so retention here isn't the problem it is at many homes. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, though none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse, and the most recent inspection was January 7, 2026. The quality measure rating is strong; the health inspection record is solid.

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.

Andbe Home runs on better-than-average staffing, about 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national figure, and its 36.1% turnover beats the 45.8% national average. Weekend coverage dips slightly from weekday levels, but the bigger concern sits elsewhere: 23 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $30,947 fine. The most recent inspection was May 2026, so the record is recent, not stale. A nonprofit home with solid staffing but a two-out-of-five inspection rating means the care hours are there, yet the survey history shows real problems that families should ask about directly.

Westchester Village of Lenexa runs a small house, 34 certified beds, and it's putting more nursing hours into each resident than most homes in the country do, roughly a third above the national average. That's the real story here, and it shows up in the staffing rating. What tempers it is turnover: more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year, well past the national rate, so the people delivering those hours keep changing. The inspection record is recent and clean at the serious end, 22 deficiencies on file, none tied to harm or abuse. Quality measures are the weak spot, scoring well below the staffing and inspection results.

Prairie Mission Retirement Village runs on 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday staffing. That pattern matters because weekday ratios can look strong while Saturday and Sunday coverage thins out. The 16 deficiencies on record are worth noting, but none reached harm or jeopardy level and none were abuse-related, which separates this from homes with real safety problems. Its last inspection was in March 2025, so the record is recent. Quality measures score lower than staffing does. For a 61-bed nonprofit in Neosho County, the picture is steady, adequately staffed, and not without paperwork problems.

Via Christi Village Manhattan runs a nonprofit home in Riley County with 93 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. That cushion thins on weekends, when coverage drops about 8% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 49% runs a few points above the national 45.8%, meaning many of the people providing that care are still new to the building. The bigger concern is the inspection record. Twenty-three deficiencies are on file, seven of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with four fines totaling $96,781. No abuse citations appear. A recent inspection, dated April 30, 2026, found those problems despite solid marks on quality measures and staffing.
