Rock Creek Of Ottawa runs 75 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 58.2% against a national figure of 45.8%, so consistent hands-on care is the real question here. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with a single fine of $12,735; the last survey was January 30, 2025. CMS gives it 2 out of 5 stars for both staffing and health inspections, though its quality measure score is 5.
Topeka Presbyterian Manor runs a genuine split: the nursing hours are there, 4.54 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that earns a top-tier staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, though it stays respectable. The problems sit elsewhere. On the current record there are 33 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and one tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $56,260. Health inspection and quality measure ratings both land at the bottom of the scale. Staff turnover, at 47.4%, runs slightly worse than the national figure. Good hours, troubled oversight, the staffing is not where the risk lives here.
Maple Heights runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.44 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 12% below its own weekday numbers. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and when backup is hardest to find.
The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $12,735 fine; the most recent inspection was in March 2025. Staff turnover sits at 45.7%, essentially matching the national rate, so retention isn't the standout problem here, day-to-day staffing depth is. The quality measure score of 2 out of 5 suggests clinical outcomes have room to improve even where inspections look more middling.
Tallgrass Healthcare Campus runs 100 beds in Junction City under for-profit partnership ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, with weekends roughly 10% leaner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 49.3%, above the 45.8% national figure, which means a lot of the people providing that care are still learning the building. The inspection record is the part I'd ask about directly: 19 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $21,530 fine, and a health inspection star of 1 out of 5. The quality measure star of 5 shows the clinical numbers can look good, but that contrast is worth understanding before you decide.
The nurse staffing number at The Gardens At Aldersgate looks fine on its face, 4.01 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but the turnover rate tells a different story. At 64.2%, roughly three in five caregivers are leaving each year, well past the national figure of 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 7% below what the home runs on weekdays. The inspection record is the harder problem: 56 deficiencies, four serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $56,617, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. A for-profit LLC operation with that citation history and 175 beds is worth a close, unannounced visit before you decide anything.
Nurse staffing at this Hays home runs about 4.11 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, so direct care hours aren't the problem. The problem shows up nearly everywhere else: staff turnover hit 91.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people delivering that care are largely new and constantly changing. The inspection record carries 46 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with $73,576 in fines and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating; ownership also changed within the past year. Weekend staffing drops about 8% below weekday levels. High turnover plus a serious deficiency history is a pattern worth asking about directly before you decide.
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.
Nurse staffing at The Healthcare Resort Of Kansas City runs 4.34 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, but the workforce behind those hours churns hard, 60.4% turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekends drop about 15% below weekday coverage. The inspection record is the bigger problem: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 55 deficiencies logged, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. One fine totaling $28,834 is on file. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and the most recent inspection was May 2026. Strong quality measure scores don't offset that history.
Attica Long Term Care runs on thin margins, and you can see it in the numbers. The hospital district that owns it staffs nurses at 3.95 hours per resident day, just above the national average, and those hours thin out on weekends, roughly 12% below what the home itself manages Monday through Friday. Turnover sits at 36.2%, better than the national 45.8%, so the people who stay tend to stay.
The problem is the record. Eighteen deficiencies, two serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and one tied to abuse. The health inspection rating reflects that. Quality measures land in the middle. If you're weighing this one, the staffing is genuinely a strength, but ask hard questions about those harm-level findings and who's supervising on Saturdays.
Hilltop Lodge runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes in the country, 3.42 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip even further below its own weekday level, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 43 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in harm's way, with $28,937 in fines behind them. Annual turnover sits slightly above the national rate. The most recent inspection was in January 2026, so the findings are current, not stale. For-profit, LLC-owned, 90 beds. If you're considering this one, ask directly what changed since that inspection.
Via Christi Village Pittsburg runs a nonprofit home with 96 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, though weekend coverage drops roughly 7% below its own weekday level. The bigger issue is turnover: 88.8% annually, nearly double the national rate of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are constantly changing. On inspections it holds a 3-star rating with 29 deficiencies on record, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $13,397 fine. Ownership changed within the past year, and its last inspection was October 2024.
Louisburg Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs about 3.49 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip another 11% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 38.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. What stands out is the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $19,218 fine, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is the weakest mark in the file. For-profit ownership through a limited liability company, 60 beds.
Plaza West runs 151 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and the numbers tell a consistent story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 22% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.7% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are often new. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 63 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with ten fines totaling $93,073 and a March 2025 inspection.
Kearny County Hospital Ltcu is a 40-bed county-owned home in Lakin, and the federal numbers are hard to read past. Inspectors have cited 43 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and the staffing rating sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, well below what the government considers adequate. The result: 8 fines totaling $69,565, and a place in the Special Focus Facility program, which CMS reserves for the homes with the most persistent problems. The last inspection was in October 2024, so that record is current, not stale. County ownership here doesn't translate into better care. If you're considering this home, ask what's changed since that inspection.
