Stanton County Health Care Facility in Johnson runs on a city/county budget, and the numbers show a place where people tend to stay. Annual turnover is 13.3 percent, well below the national 45.8 percent, and total nurse staffing sits at 5.27 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the 3.86 national average. Weekend coverage dips only about 8 percent from weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out much on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspectors logged 24 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the last visit was August 2025. The staffing star rating of 1/5 looks odd next to those hours; CMS's scoring there weighs things like RN coverage specifically, not just total volume.

Anderson County Hospital Ltcu runs 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its staffing rating reflects that. The catch is weekends, when hours drop roughly 18% below the home's own weekday level, that's when gaps tend to show up. Turnover sits at 44.7%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, so the crew is comparatively stable. Inspections in February 2025 turned up 16 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none were abuse-related. For a 36-bed nonprofit hospital-based unit, the day-to-day numbers look reasonable; the weekend dip and those two harm-level findings are what pull the overall picture down.

Pioneer Manor is county-owned, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, and a five-star staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 37.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The trouble is inspections. The current record carries 23 deficiencies, three of them at the level where a resident was harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, and one abuse-related. The health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, and the most recent survey was in December 2024. Strong staffing is real, but it hasn't kept the home out of serious trouble.

Trego County runs this 37-bed home inside the local hospital, and the staffing is the strongest thing it has going: 5.35 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average. Turnover sits at 26.5%, notably lower than the typical nursing home, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekends thin out about 17% from weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. The trade-off shows in the care record, 18 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and three related to abuse, with a mid-2025 inspection. Staffing is clearly the priority here; the quality measures and inspection history are not keeping pace.

St Luke Living Center runs on 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday levels, a drop families should ask about directly. The 22 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection came in October 2025. This is a hospital-district-owned home in Marion with 32 certified beds, which means a small census and a public owner. Its four-out-of-five ratings for health inspections, quality measures, and staffing are consistent across the board, suggesting a stable operation rather than one carried by a single strong category.

Nurse staffing here runs about 4.79 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and only about 28% of staff leave each year, compared to 45.8% nationally. That kind of retention matters more than almost anything else, because familiar aides notice changes in a resident before a chart does. Weekends dip about 16% below weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. The health inspection record is strong and recent, February 2025, with no deficiencies at the harm level. The tension is in the quality measures, which sit at the bottom of the scale, worth asking what specifically drives that, because good staffing and a low measure score don't usually tell the same story.

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.

Minneola District Hospital Ltcu runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 26-bed home, 7.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 85% above the national average, though weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday pace. That staffing cushion is doing a lot of work here, because the inspection record is rough: 23 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a one-star health inspection rating despite a March 2025 survey that's still recent. Government hospital-district ownership doesn't change the picture either way. The quality measure score sits at two stars, so what you're really weighing is whether strong daily coverage outweighs a troubled survey history.

Cedar Village runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 30-bed nonprofit home, 5.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 47 percent above the national average, and that shows up in a five-star staffing rating. Inspections are current and strong at four stars, with 18 deficiencies on record but only one at the harm level and none tied to abuse. The weak spot is quality measures, where it sits at one star, and turnover runs slightly above the national rate at 47.8 percent. Weekend coverage dips about 13 percent below weekday levels, which matters in a building this small, where one call-out changes the whole shift.

Sheridan County Hospital Ltcu runs on unusually heavy staffing, 5.55 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's the strongest thing it has going. Weekends drop about 21% below its own weekday coverage, and half the staff turns over each year, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is mixed: a recent October 2025 survey, a 4/5 health inspection star, but 20 deficiencies on file, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. Quality measure scoring sits at 1/5, which pulls against the staffing strength. For a 32-bed nonprofit hospital-based unit in rural Kansas, the pattern is high hands-on care with real compliance problems attached.

F W Huston Medical Center runs 38 certified beds in Winchester under nonprofit ownership, and its recent inspection history is genuinely reassuring, 20 deficiencies on record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse. The tradeoff shows up in the intangibles: weekend nurse coverage drops roughly 9% below its own weekday level, and 48.9% annual turnover sits above the national rate of 45.8%, which matters in a small rural building where familiar faces are part of the care. Overall staffing of 3.72 hours per resident day lands about 4% under the national average, and the quality measure score is on the weaker side even as the staffing score holds up. A survey from August 2025 means inspectors have looked recently.

Wichita County Health Center is a ten-bed county-run home in Leoti, and the small size shows in the numbers. It was inspected in June 2025 and has 30 deficiencies on its current record, but none of them rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and none were abuse-related, so what's on paper reads more like paperwork and process problems than anything that put residents in danger. Its quality measure score is essentially perfect, which usually means residents are being tracked and treated well. The tradeoff is inspection performance, which lands a step below the top. For a county facility this size, that's a fairly ordinary picture.

Memorial Hospital Ltcu in Abilene runs on a government hospital-district license and 75 certified beds. The staffing numbers are the strongest part of the story: 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, though weekend coverage slips about 7% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 55.1% against a 45.8% national average, so the people providing that care are cycling through fairly quickly. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the most recent survey in September 2024. Quality measure scores came in at 2 stars while staffing earned 4.

Southwest Medical Center's skilled nursing unit is small, 18 certified beds, and it's run by Seward County rather than a for-profit chain, which tends to matter for how a place is staffed and maintained. State inspectors were last in on April 22, 2026, and the record shows 15 deficiencies, but none rose to the level of actual harm or immediate jeopardy, and there's no abuse history on file. That's a meaningful distinction: paperwork and process problems, not residents getting hurt. Both the health inspection and quality measure ratings sit at three out of five stars. For a county-run home this size in southwest Kansas, the picture is a steady one, not spotless on compliance, but not dangerous either. Ask about the specific deficiencies and how they've been corrected.

Greeley County Hospital Ltcu is a small non-profit home in Tribune, just 16 certified beds, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, with a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a recent survey from November 2025. The trouble sits in the other two categories: CMS gives it 1 out of 5 for both quality measures and staffing. Its record carries 19 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse. Staff turnover runs 38.5%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national average, so retention isn't the main problem here. The low staffing rating is about hours and coverage, not whether people stay.

Russell Regional Hospital Ltcu is a 23-bed nonprofit unit, and the numbers here deserve a close look before you decide anything. The inspection history shows 33 deficiencies on the current record, including three tied to abuse, none of those reached the level of actual harm or jeopardy, but the volume still stands out for a home this small. Staffing and quality measures both sit at one star out of five, meaning the direct-care hours and clinical outcomes fall well below what CMS expects. The most recent inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is fairly current. With a record this heavy on a 23-bed unit, ask hard questions about turnover and who's actually on the floor at night.

Meadowbrook Rehabilitation Hospital in Gardner runs 42 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers worth your attention are on the inspection side. The current record shows 47 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, and CMS gave the home a 1 out of 5 on health inspections. Three fines totaling $98,974 have been levied. Staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, with weekends running roughly 10% lighter than weekdays, and turnover at 51.1% against a national 45.8%. Quality measures rate better than the inspection record does, but that gap itself tells you something.
