Kansas Veterans Home in Winfield runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home, 6.08 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly 58 percent more hands-on time, and it holds up on weekends better than most places, dipping about 14 percent instead of the steeper drops common elsewhere. State-run ownership shows in the numbers: 35.9 percent annual turnover beats the 45.8 percent national figure, and the current record carries 10 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. The tradeoff sits in the quality measures, which score low relative to inspections and staffing. Worth asking what specifically drives that before you decide.

Phillips County Retirement Center has a staffing story that cuts both ways. The 4.21 nurse hours per resident day tops the national average by roughly 9%, and turnover at 38.7% actually beats the 45.8% norm, but weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, and CMS's own staffing rating lands at just 1 out of 5. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 36 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. For a 40-bed nonprofit, that's a lot of regulatory history to weigh against the favorable turnover number.

Derby Health & Rehabilitation runs a tight clinical operation on the surface: 4.99 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, top marks on both health inspections and quality measures, and a survey done as recently as March 2026. The catch sits underneath. Staff turnover hits 60.7% a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekends drop about 16% below weekday coverage, so the people giving the extra hands-on time keep changing, and there are fewer of them on Saturdays and Sundays. The 14 deficiencies on record include one tied to abuse; none reached harm or jeopardy. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the picture.

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.

Lakeview Village runs on a nonprofit model with 158 certified beds in Lenexa, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.86 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86. That staffing depth is real, and it holds up reasonably on weekends, dipping only about 6% from weekday levels. Turnover lands at 41.1%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. What pulls the record down is inspection history: 26 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus two fines totaling $35,619. The most recent inspection was April 22, 2026. Strong staffing, middling inspections, that's the tradeoff here.

Wellsville Manor runs 51 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.72 hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86, which is a real cushion, though weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 45.7%, essentially identical to the national 45.8%, so retention here is neither a strength nor a problem. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Its last inspection was May 2026, so the picture is recent.

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.

Lincoln Park Manor runs a lean but well-staffed ship: 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average, with weekend coverage holding steady within 3% of weekdays. Turnover sits at 31.9% against a national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. The concerns show up elsewhere. Thirty-seven deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, and a quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 suggest the clinical outcomes don't match the staffing picture. The last inspection was August 2025, so the record is recent. As a nonprofit with 36 beds, it's small enough that one bad stretch shows up fast in the numbers.

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.

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.

Fowler Residential Care is a small hospital-district home, 20 beds, and its staffing is the headline: 5.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 42% above the national figure of 3.86. Turnover sits at 37%, better than the 45.8% national average, though weekend coverage drops about 20% below the home's own weekday level. The trade-off shows up in its record: nine deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single $8,021 fine, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. Nothing here suggests abuse, and the staffing numbers are genuinely strong, but the harm-level citation is the kind of thing worth asking about directly before you decide.

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.

Crestview runs about 4.34 nursing hours per resident each day, which is roughly 13 percent above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover of 41.2% sits a little better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoff shows up on weekends, when coverage drops about 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Inspectors gave it five out of five stars and found six deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level but none tied to abuse; the most recent visit was October 24, 2024. Quality measures came in at three stars. For a 34-bed for-profit home, the staffing and inspection record carry most of the weight here.

Kiowa Hospital District Manor runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 29-bed home, 6.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two and a half hours more than the national average, and its most recent inspection was in September 2025, so the record is current. The catch is in the inspection findings: ten deficiencies on file, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, which is what pulls the overall picture down despite the five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, and turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially matching the national rate. As a government hospital-district home, it answers to local public ownership rather than a chain.

Anthony Community Care Center runs 30 beds as a nonprofit, and its last full health inspection was in April 2025, recent enough that you're looking at current conditions, not old history. Staff turnover sits at 29.2%, well under the 45.8% national average, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces month to month. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: nurse staffing at 3.76 hours per resident day lands just under the national 3.86, weekend coverage dips slightly below its own weekday levels, and the record carries 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. Quality measure scores come in low. Good retention and steady oversight, thinner care hours and some inspection problems to weigh.

Solomon Valley Manor runs on a city-owned, 30-bed setup in Stockton, and its strongest asset is people: nurses deliver about 4.25 hours of care per resident per day, roughly 10 percent above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 28.6 percent against a national 45.8 percent. That retention matters in a small rural home, though weekend coverage dips about 13 percent below weekday levels. The tradeoffs are real elsewhere. Sixteen deficiencies show on the current record, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the quality measure score is weak. Inspectors last visited in October 2024. A well-staffed building with recent inspection problems is worth a close look at what those three citations involved.

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.

Salem Home runs a solid non-profit operation in Hillsboro, and the inspection side is genuinely strong, a four-star health inspection rating, last survey in August 2024, and no abuse citations on record. The catch is inside the staffing numbers. Overall nurse hours beat the national average by about 11%, but weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 62.5% against a national 45.8%. That's a lot of churn for a 45-bed home, and it's the kind of thing families feel in consistency of care more than in any rating. Ten deficiencies, one at harm level, isn't alarming, but it's not spotless either.
