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.

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.

Elmhaven East runs 45 beds in Parsons under individual for-profit ownership, and its last health inspection was in April 2025, so the record is current. The staffing picture is mixed: total nurse hours sit just under the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 15% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 66.7% is well above the 45.8% national figure, that churn matters more than a single day's census. The 32 deficiencies on record include one at the harm level, though none involve abuse. Good quality and staffing star ratings sit alongside that turnover and the harm citation, which is the tension worth understanding here.

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.

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.

Cheney Golden Age Home runs a tight ship on staffing for a 40-bed nonprofit in Sedgwick County. Nurses give 4.18 hours of care per resident per day, about 8% above the national average, and turnover sits at 38.3% against a national 45.8%, that kind of retention matters when you're small enough that every aide knows every resident. Weekends thin out roughly 12% from weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The tradeoff shows up in quality measures, which score low, and 17 deficiencies on the current record, though none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse. The last inspection was November 2024.

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.

Homestead Health Center in Wichita runs a nonprofit operation with 45 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.69 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, so the weekday-to-weekend gap is worth asking about. Staff turnover lands at 46.4%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%, meaning retention isn't a strength here. The inspection record is where the concern concentrates: 22 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, and two fines totaling $59,829. Quality and staffing measures both score well, but the last inspection in May 2026 keeps that health inspection rating at 2 out of 5.

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.

Dawson Place runs 36 beds in Hill City as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, with weekends dipping another 8% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 42.5%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, so people do tend to stay. The harder reading is in the inspection record: 35 deficiencies, including 3 tied to abuse and 1 at the harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent inspection in October 2025. CMS gives it 2 stars for health inspections but 4 for staffing, so the care hours look steadier than the survey history does.

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.

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.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital's skilled nursing unit is small, 14 certified beds, and it's run by the city, which is unusual in this part of Kansas. The staffing numbers are the weak spot: Medicare rates nurse staffing at just one star, well below what most homes in the country manage, and that's the main thing pulling the overall picture down. The clinical quality scores are a different story, sitting at the top of the scale, and the nine deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing tied to abuse. State inspectors were last in during October 2024, so the record is current. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how many nurses are on the floor at night.

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.

Pioneer Lodge is a 25-bed nonprofit home in Coldwater, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing runs 3.04 hours per resident day, about 21% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 19% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 58.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because familiar faces are hard to keep. On the other hand, its 23 deficiencies include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in September 2025. Quality and staffing measures both rate 4 out of 5, while inspections rate 2.

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.

Enterprise Estates runs a nonprofit home of 40 beds, and its nurse staffing comes in around 4.34 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage only about 2% lighter than weekdays. That's a real strength. The trouble sits elsewhere: 35 deficiencies on the current record, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and five tied to abuse. Staff turnover is 51.5%, higher than the 45.8% national average, and CMS rated the last health inspection just one star out of five, with a $16,556 fine attached. The most recent inspection was November 17, 2025.

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.
