Pine Village runs 74 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, 13 deficiencies on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level and no abuse citations, plus a recent May 2025 survey. The trouble sits in the day-to-day numbers. Its CMS staffing and quality measure ratings both come in at 1 out of 5, and annual staff turnover hits 54.5% against a national average of 45.8%. That combination matters: good survey results reflect how a building performed on inspection day, while thin staffing and heavy turnover shape what a resident actually experiences between surveys. If you're touring, ask directly how many CNAs are on the floor at night and how long the current director of nursing has been in place.

Chapman Valley Manor runs 30 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its inspection record is recent, last survey September 2024, with a 4/5 health inspection rating. But 21 deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. That's a lot of findings for a small home. Staffing sits at 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday level. Turnover is the bigger issue at 61.5% against a national 45.8%. A 4/5 quality measure score and nonprofit ownership help, but thin margins on staffing and that turnover rate are what families should ask about directly.

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.

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.

Sunporch Of Dodge City runs at 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 9 percent below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters more than the raw number, because care doesn't pause on Saturdays. Annual turnover sits at 63.9 percent against a national 45.8, so nearly two-thirds of the staff cycle out each year, a churn rate that makes consistent care hard to hold onto. The current record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm level but one tied to abuse, and the last inspection came in January 2025. This is a nonprofit corporation, 45 beds, mid-range on all three federal ratings. Nothing here is alarming, and nothing here is reassuring either.

Linn Community Nursing Home runs on thinner staffing than most Kansas homes its size, 3.38 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 51.1%, above the 45.8% national figure, which means new faces on the floor and less continuity for residents who need consistent care. The current record carries 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $10,036 fine. A February 2026 inspection is recent, so this reflects present conditions rather than an old history. Quality measures look better than the day-to-day staffing does.

Lakepoint El Dorado runs lean on nursing hours, 3.02 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping about 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover is actually better than average at 33.3%, so the problem isn't churn; it's how few hands are scheduled per shift. The inspection record is where the real trouble sits: 25 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $32,261 in fines across three penalties. A December 2024 inspection keeps that record current, and this for-profit partnership's quality-measure score doesn't offset what surveyors have already documented.

Logan Manor is city-owned, and it runs 36 beds with nurse staffing at 4.41 hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent above the national average, which is the strongest thing in its favor. The catch is who's still there month to month: turnover sits at 56.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, and weekends run about 16 percent thinner than weekdays, so the coverage that looks good on paper may not feel steady at the bedside. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025. Federal quality measures come in at 2 stars.

Parkside Homes runs on an unusual split: the nursing hours are genuinely generous, 5.01 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and staff turnover sits right around the national mark at 44.2%. But that staffing cushion takes a hit on weekends, when coverage drops about 17% below the home's own weekday level, and the inspection record is heavy, 34 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, plus two fines totaling $56,941. The last full inspection was in October 2024. This is a 50-bed nonprofit where the day-to-day care hours look better than most, but the compliance history and a 1-out-of-5 quality measure rating suggest the care being delivered isn't consistently matching the time being paid for.

Villa Maria is a 64-bed nonprofit home in Mulvane, and its inspection record is the strongest thing it has going: a five-star health inspection rating, with the most recent survey in December 2024 and 18 deficiencies on file, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. The nursing hours tell a different story. At 3.92 per resident day, staffing sits barely above the national average of 3.86, and the three-star staffing rating reflects that. Weekend coverage drops roughly 8% below weekday levels, and annual turnover of 65.8% runs well above the national 45.8%. One fine totaling $22,081 is on record.

Leisure Homestead At Stafford runs 37 beds as a nonprofit, and its health inspection record is where it looks strongest, a recent August 2025 survey and no deficiencies tied to actual harm or abuse among the 20 on file. Staff turnover sits at 36.7%, better than the 45.8% national average, which matters for consistency of care. The staffing numbers tell a different story: the government's staffing rating is the lowest tier, and quality measures land at 2 of 5, so day-to-day coverage and clinical outcomes lag well behind the inspection picture. For a family weighing this home, the honest read is a place that passes its surveys but may run thin on the floor.

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.

Brighton Place North runs 2.04 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 47% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about a quarter below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 2 out of 5, even as the home's quality measure score hits 5 out of 5, a gap worth noticing, since quality scores reflect resident outcomes while staffing reflects daily presence. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm level but one abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $9,408; the last inspection was October 2025. Turnover at 43.8% is close to the national 45.8%. With 34 beds and corporate for-profit ownership, this is a small home where staffing is the real question.

Sunset Home in Concordia runs 45 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its federal record is rough in the areas that matter most. Inspectors have cited 44 deficiencies, four of them tied to abuse and three serious enough to put residents in immediate harm's way, with five fines totaling $43,175. Staffing sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, one star, and the health inspection rating matches it, so the direct-care and oversight numbers aren't offsetting each other. The quality measure score, three stars, looks better on paper, but those measures depend on staff actually documenting and following through. The most recent inspection was March 2025, so this is current, not old history. If you're considering it, ask what's changed since then.

Westy Community Care Home runs a 40-bed nonprofit operation in Westmoreland, and the staffing numbers are genuinely its strongest point, 4.25 nurse hours per resident day sits about 10% above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 6% below its own weekday level. That's real direct-care presence. But the staff giving that care turn over at 65.3% a year, well above the 45.8% national rate, and that churn shows up elsewhere: 24 deficiencies on the current record, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse. Two fines total $19,406. The last inspection was September 2024. Good hours on paper, but heavy turnover and a troubled inspection history.

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.

Sandstone Heights has a staffing story worth noticing: 4.18 nurse hours per resident day sits about 8% above the national average, and weekends only dip roughly 9% below weekdays. That consistency matters. Less encouraging is who's providing that care, nearly 59% of staff turned over in a year, well above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is where things get concerning: 20 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with two fines totaling $67,763. The last inspection was March 2025, so the record is current. Nonprofit ownership offers some stability, but with quality measures scoring 1 out of 5 and health inspections at 2, the strong staffing numbers aren't translating into strong outcomes.

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.
