Derby Health & Rehabilitation, Llc

Derby, KS · Sedgwick County

CMS 5/5 74 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
61%

0

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.

Cedars runs about 27% more nurse staffing than the national average, 4.89 hours per resident day, though weekends drop roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly flat. The home was inspected recently, in June 2025, and the record shows 25 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, plus two abuse-related citations worth asking about directly. A nonprofit corporation operates its 102 beds, and its CMS ratings land at 4 out of 5 across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. Those abuse citations and the weekend staffing dip are the two things I'd want explained before deciding.

Maine Veterans Home in South Paris runs on 5.22 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more staffing than the national average, and that shows up in its CMS staffing rating. Weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday coverage, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is the strongest part: 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. Quality measures sit in the middle at 3 out of 5, and as a nonprofit corporation it answers to a board rather than shareholders. Overall, a well-staffed home with a clean recent inspection history and average clinical marks.

Abbott Skilled Nursing runs 55 beds in Lynn under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a story of steady hands rather than flashy ones. Nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 19 percent below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is turnover at 23.1 percent, about half the national rate, which suggests people actually stay. Inspections in May 2025 produced 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though four were abuse-related, a category you should ask about directly. Recent inspections and solid marks on health, quality, and staffing round it out.

Medilodge of Yale runs 108 beds as a for-profit corporation, and its most recent inspection in July 2025 left seven deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. No abuse citations, though. Nurse staffing sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the genuinely good number here: 34.8%, well under the 45.8% national rate, which suggests aides and nurses are staying put.

Medilodge Of Monroe runs about 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, essentially matching the national average of 3.86, close enough that staffing isn't the story here. What stands out is staff retention: turnover sits at 26.7% against a national rate near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. State inspectors gave the home 5 out of 5 stars on health inspections, with six deficiencies on the current record including one at the harm level, worth asking about directly. Weekend staffing drops roughly 16% below weekday levels, a common pattern but one that matters if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The corporate, for-profit owner is typical for Michigan nursing homes.

Medilodge of Milford runs 111 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average. Weekends dip roughly 18% below weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover is the brighter spot: 37.8% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses here tend to stay longer than elsewhere. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in September 2025. Quality measures score well; the inspection history is where the caution lies.

Harbor Terrace Senior Living runs 5.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average of 3.86, that's a real staffing cushion most homes don't have. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so care isn't perfectly level across the week, but the floor stays high. The home's record shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was March 2026. Quality measure and health inspection ratings both sit at 4 out of 5, staffing at 5. It's a for-profit LLC with 58 beds in Muskegon County. What stands out isn't any single number, it's that high staffing and a clean harm-free record line up together.

St. Luke's runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and the numbers show what that stability buys: 4.56 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with turnover at 19.4% while the typical nursing home churns through 45.8% of its staff yearly. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The April 2025 inspection turned up eight deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the health inspection rating sits at 4 of 5. Where the record thins is quality measures, at 2 of 5, worth asking which specific measures dragged that down before you decide.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Whispering Creek is city-owned, small at 35 beds, and it runs a tight ship. Nurses provide 4.11 hours of care per resident per day, about 7% above the national average, and the health inspection record is spotless at the top CMS rating, with five total deficiencies and none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse. Staff turnover of 38.5% beats the national 45.8%, which matters for residents who need consistent faces. The one thing to ask about is weekends: staffing drops roughly 19% below the home's own weekday level, so if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays, that's the gap worth a direct question.

Community Nursing Home of Anaconda runs on 5.25 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, that extra margin shows up on weekends too, when staffing dips only about 9% from weekday levels, a smaller drop than many homes manage. The tradeoff sits in the inspection record: 26 deficiencies on file, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. Ownership is nonprofit, and the last full inspection came in December 2025, so the picture is recent. Nothing here suggests danger, but the gap between strong daily staffing and a longer-than-ideal deficiency list is the real story.

Faith Lutheran Home runs a lean ship on the floor and a messier one on paper. Nurse staffing sits at 4.79 hours per resident day, about a quarter above the national average, and its 34.9% turnover beats the 45.8% typical elsewhere, but weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday coverage, so the care you'd see on a Tuesday isn't what a Saturday looks like. The record is where it gets uncomfortable: 26 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $22,825 fine and a recent April 2025 inspection that left the health and quality ratings at 2 out of 5.

The nurse staffing here works out to 3.88 hours per resident per day, essentially even with the national average of 3.86, so this isn't a place padding its numbers with aides. Weekends run about 17 percent lighter than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is retention: 28.6 percent turnover against a national average near 46 percent, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, but none involved harm or jeopardy and none were abuse-related, and the last inspection was in January 2025.

Coral Harbor runs 3.51 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 33.8%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. On paper the quality measures look strong at 5 out of 5 stars, though the 18 deficiencies on record, including one at harm level and two tied to abuse, are worth asking about directly, since the last inspection was January 2025 and conditions can shift.

Schulman and Schachne in Brooklyn runs 448 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing picture is genuinely strong, 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, with turnover at 22.9% against a national 45.8%. That consistency matters, though weekend coverage dips about 16% below weekday levels. The concerns sit elsewhere: 18 deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $15,646 fine. Inspectors last visited in July 2024. High marks on staffing and quality measures don't erase what shows up in the inspection history.

Crown Heights Center runs 295 beds and, like most for-profit LLC homes in Brooklyn, watches its labor numbers closely. Nurse staffing sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 17 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, the stretch when families tend to visit. What stands out is retention: 29.4 percent turnover against a national average near 46 percent, which suggests aides and nurses here stick around longer than is typical. The tradeoff shows up in oversight. Inspectors cited 29 deficiencies on the current record, two tied to abuse, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 of 5 stars, though the most recent survey closed in December 2024.

Bermuda Village Retirement Center runs 36 certified beds in Davie County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.06 hours per resident day, roughly 31% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, so the strong weekday numbers soften somewhat on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine totaling $7,976 and a health inspection from March 2025. The 20-deficiency count is on the higher side, but the staffing margin and clean harm record carry real weight.

Eckerd Living Center runs 4.35 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in a five-star CMS staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips roughly 20% below its own weekday level, which is common but still worth knowing if you're visiting Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 36.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The home has seven deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was April 10, 2026, so the picture is current. A for-profit partnership with 80 beds and a four-star health inspection rating, it looks steady on paper.

Richardton Health Center runs on 4.18 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and that staffing depth shows up in its five-star staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 20% below the home's own weekday level, families who visit on Saturdays and Sundays should ask who's actually on the floor. Its inspection record is clean where it matters most: eight deficiencies on file, none causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in December 2025. Staff turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially the national average, so this isn't a home bleeding caregivers faster than everyone else. For 29 beds under nonprofit ownership, the numbers read steady rather than spectacular.
