McPherson Operator runs 45 beds as a for-profit LLC, and its staffing sits at 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 42.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the most recent inspection came in April 2025. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. A four on quality measures and a three on inspections tell you the clinical tracking looks steadier than the direct-care hours and the survey history behind it.

Pioneer Ridge has real staffing strength, 4.21 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and CMS gives it 4 out of 5 stars on that measure. But the inspection record is where things get hard to ignore: 51 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $14,901 fine and a 1-star health inspection rating. Half of the staff turned over in the past year, above the 45.8% national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below weekdays. The most recent inspection was December 3, 2025. Good daily staffing is doing real work here, but it's carrying a lot of weight against a troubled survey history.

Peabody Health and Rehab runs on 3.00 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 53.1% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The record shows 23 deficiencies, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with two fines totaling $22,711; the most recent inspection was January 30, 2025. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and the 45 certified beds include no abuse-related findings.

Medicalodges Independence runs on thin staffing, 3.69 nurse hours per resident per day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below what the home covers Monday through Friday. That gap matters most when families visit on Saturdays and find fewer hands on deck. Turnover sits at 38.5%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. State inspectors visited in June 2025 and logged 17 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the home's inspection and staffing marks both hold at 4 out of 5 stars, while its quality measures lag at 2. Corporate-owned and Medicare-certified for 45 beds.

The Healthcare Resort Of Topeka runs a stable ship on the clinical side, a perfect five stars on both health inspections and quality measures, with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level during a survey completed in December 2025. Staffing is where the picture gets thinner: 3.73 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage tightens exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 40.5% is better than the national 45.8%, though not dramatically so. Worth asking about two abuse-related deficiencies on the current record, and how weekend shifts are actually covered.

Haviland Operator runs 45 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, one deficiency total, none at harm level, none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in October 2025. Quality measures also score at the top of CMS's scale. The staffing number is where the picture changes: 1.71 nurse hours per resident day sits roughly 56% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 40.9% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which helps, but it doesn't offset how few hands are present per resident. Ask specifically how many nurses are on the floor on a Saturday evening.

Serious cites

Medicalodges Atchison runs about 60 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing picture is decent on paper, 3.96 nurse hours per resident day sits slightly above the national average. But that average hides a dip: weekends run roughly 15% leaner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover is 48.8%, a few points worse than the national rate. The health inspection record is strong, with a 4-star rating and no deficiencies at the harm level, though two abuse-related citations appear among the 18 total. Quality measures tell a weaker story at 2 stars, and the most recent inspection was April 2026.

North Point Skilled Nursing Center runs 53 beds in Paola under corporate ownership, and its last inspection came back clean enough to earn five stars from CMS, with just five deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. The catch is daily staffing: 3.39 nurse hours per resident, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 45.7%, almost exactly the national rate, so retention isn't the standout problem here, thin weekday-to-weekend coverage is. Quality measures land mid-range. A recent, clean inspection is real reassurance; just ask how weekends actually get covered.

The Village At Mission runs 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends come in about 10% lighter than weekdays. Turnover sits at 51.2% against a national 45.8%, and the health inspection side is the weak spot here: a 2/5 star rating, 33 deficiencies on the current record, one at harm or jeopardy level, and a $22,925 fine. Quality measures score 4/5, so the clinical picture looks better than the inspection history. This is a for-profit LLC with 58 beds, last inspected October 2023, and the staffing edge is modest enough that the inspection findings carry real weight.

Diversicare Of Hutchinson runs 73 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.30 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask who's on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bright spot: 38.5% against a national average of 45.8%. Inspections look solid, with a 4/5 health inspection star and a 4/5 quality measure star, and the most recent survey was January 30, 2025. But 28 deficiencies are on the current record, one at harm or jeopardy level, plus an $8,376 fine.

Meridian Rehabilitation and Health Care Center runs 106 certified beds in Wichita under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits around 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 11 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 41.9 percent edges out the national rate in a good way, but the inspection record is the heavier story: 62 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $62,076. The two-out-of-five inspection rating reflects that history, while the top quality measure score sits oddly beside it.

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.

Countryside Health Center runs on 1.86 nurse staffing hours per resident day, which is roughly half the national figure of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops another 14% below what the home manages on weekdays, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. The 16 deficiencies on record include none tied to harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection closed out in April 2025, so oversight is fairly current. Staff turnover of 38.6% is actually better than the 45.8% national average, and the quality measure score sits at the top of the scale. It's the day-to-day staffing math, not inspection findings, that shapes what care looks like here.

Stoneybrook runs about 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The bigger number is turnover: 69.4% of staff leaving annually against a national average of 45.8%, which matters more than any single inspection score because it shapes who's actually on the floor. Its record shows 32 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse. Inspections are recent, and the for-profit corporate owner holds a four-star health inspection rating. Families should ask how the home covers weekend shifts and how long its current aides have worked there.

The Nicol Home runs 4.54 nurse hours per resident day, about 18 percent above the national average, and weekend staffing holds slightly above its own weekday level, a good sign, since coverage often thins out on weekends. That staffing strength sits against a record of 23 deficiencies, though none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The quality measure rating is where the trouble shows: 1 out of 5, meaning resident outcomes like falls, infections, or antipsychotic use lag well behind what the staffing numbers would suggest. A 4 out of 5 on health inspections and a July 2024 visit round it out. The gap between good hands-on hours and poor outcome measures is the story here.

Heritage Grove Estates runs 80 beds in Topeka under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers cut both ways. Nurses give residents 4.03 hours a day, a bit above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets depends on which day you visit. Annual turnover sits at 53.5%, well past the national 45.8%, which means a lot of new faces coming through. Inspections from August 2024 produced 18 deficiencies, three serious enough to threaten resident harm, though none involved abuse. The $9,113 in fines is modest. Clinical quality scores hold up; consistency of care is the open question.

Garden Valley Retirement Village runs on thinner staffing than most places, 3.45 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday level, which is when families tend to notice. Staff turnover sits at 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The good news is inspections: a 5/5 health inspection rating, a clean record on harm and abuse deficiencies, and a recent survey in June 2025. The 19 deficiencies on file weren't serious enough to cause harm. Quality measures score lower at 2/5, so ask what those numbers reflect before deciding.

Wathena Healthcare runs about 3.45 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 10 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters most for falls, med errors, and unanswered call lights, since those shifts often run with the least supervision. Turnover sits at 36.1 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests some consistency in who's actually at the bedside. The 26 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged at harm or jeopardy level and no abuse findings, and the last inspection was September 2024. Three stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing describe a home that's neither failing nor standing out.

Chase County Care and Rehab runs 45 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its staffing numbers are the weak spot: 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, with weekends about 10% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 50%, above the national 45.8%, and CMS gives staffing just 1 out of 5 stars. The quality measure score is 5 out of 5, so clinical outcomes look good on paper, but the inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, including 2 abuse-related citations, though none at the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was September 2025, so the record is recent.

Lansing Care And Rehab is a 58-bed for-profit home in Leavenworth County, and the numbers are middling across the board. Nurse staffing sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays, worth knowing if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 45.3%, essentially the national rate, so you're not looking at a retention crisis, but you're not looking at stability either. What stands out is the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $23,454. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the record is current.
