Every Medicaid-certified nursing home in Wichita, KS
Larksfield Place runs on lean, steady staffing: 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, and weekend coverage drops only about 9% from weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out much on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 33.9% against a national average near 46%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in October 2024. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders. The numbers describe a home that is well-staffed, stable, and currently clear of serious findings.
Mount St. Mary is a small nonprofit home in Wichita, just 24 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 5.08 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about a third above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only slightly below its own weekday level, which is better than many homes manage. Staff turnover sits at 31%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025. For a family weighing a move, the picture is steady hands and recent oversight.
Ascension Living Via Christi Village McLean runs 36 beds in Wichita under nonprofit corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.39 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover lands at 40.5%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 14 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, so the four-star inspection rating comes with real findings attached. Staffing and quality measures both rate four or five stars.
Caritas Center is a small nonprofit home in Wichita, just 22 certified beds, and its nursing hours run about 58% above the national average, with turnover at 14.3% against a national 45.8%. That combination is rare: plenty of homes staff up, but few keep the same people. Weekend coverage dips roughly 18% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The inspection record shows six deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last survey was in March 2026. Quality measures sit in the middle of the pack.
Regent Park runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.70 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its inspection record backs that up, with a five-star health inspection rating and a recent survey in February 2026 that turned up no deficiencies causing harm or jeopardy, and none related to abuse. The 15 deficiencies on file are the ordinary kind, not the alarming kind. Weekend staffing dips about 15% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 48.9%, a bit above the national 45.8%, so consistency of caregivers is worth asking about directly.
Wichita Presbyterian Manor runs 50 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.69 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average. Weekends dip about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care a resident gets Saturday and Sunday isn't quite the weekdays' pace. Staff turnover is the sticking point: 59.6% annually against a 45.8% national average, meaning well over half the nursing staff leaves each year. Inspections were last done in May 2025 and the record shows 18 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. Strong quality scores don't erase that kind of churn.
Lakepoint Wichita runs a 110-bed for-profit operation, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card, 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average. The catch is turnover: 54.5% annually, nearly nine points above the national figure, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage you see on paper isn't always the coverage your family member gets. The inspection record is the real concern: 46 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. Quality and staffing measures both scored well, but a 2/5 on health inspections, last surveyed in December 2024, means the clinical and physical plant side has repeatedly fallen short.
Life Care Center of Wichita runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 37.8% against a national 45.8% means fewer unfamiliar faces than at the typical home. The health inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2025. Strong quality and staffing marks sit alongside that inspection history, read it as a home doing well on care measures with some compliance gaps worth asking about directly.
Medicalodges Wichita runs a 55-bed for-profit home where the nurse staffing works out to 3.90 hours per resident day, barely a whisker above the national average of 3.86. That staffing star rating of 4 is the strongest thing the place has going for it, though weekends drop about 15% below weekday coverage, so a Saturday shift looks different from a Tuesday one. What tempers the picture is turnover at 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national average, and 19 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, but a volume worth asking about. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the record is current.
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.
Azria Health Wichita runs a for-profit limited liability operation with 70 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the real story here: 5.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86. That's meaningful coverage, though weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday levels, and staff turnover sits at 68% against a national average of 45.8%, a lot of churn for a building this size. The inspection record shows 39 deficiencies, one of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated February 2026. If you're weighing this one, the bedside hours are a genuine strength; the turnover and the harm-level finding are the parts worth asking about directly.
Center At Waterfront in Wichita runs 80 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.02 hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 61.6% against a national 45.8%, so the people delivering those hours keep changing. The current inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single $12,740 fine. The last inspection was January 2026. Strong quality-measure scores sit alongside middling inspection results, worth asking about directly.
Meridian Rehabilitation and Health Care Center runs 106 certified beds in Wichita under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits around 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 11 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 41.9 percent edges out the national rate in a good way, but the inspection record is the heavier story: 62 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $62,076. The two-out-of-five inspection rating reflects that history, while the top quality measure score sits oddly beside it.
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.
Lincoln Care and Rehab runs 45 beds in Wichita under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the part that stands out: 43 deficiencies logged, two of them serious enough to put residents in harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse. Three fines add up to $40,104. The last full inspection was October 2023, so that record has had time to age without a fresh look. Staffing sits slightly under the national average at 3.77 hours per resident day, and weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs help on Saturdays and Sundays.
Sandpiper runs 104 certified beds in Wichita under corporate ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed in a way the star ratings capture: 4.00 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% above the national average, yet weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover is 56.5% against a national 45.8%. That churn shows up in the CMS staffing score of 2 out of 5 even though raw hours look fine on paper. The quality measure score is 5 out of 5, which is genuinely strong, but the inspection record carries 32 deficiencies with no harm-level or abuse findings and one fine of $16,801, most recently surveyed in November 2024.
Rolling Hills runs 85 beds in Wichita under for-profit LLC ownership, and its three CMS star ratings all land at the middle of the scale. Nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average, and weekends run about 14% thinner than weekdays, worth knowing if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. The current inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $39,118. Turnover at 43.8% is slightly better than the national figure, and the most recent inspection was in November 2024.
Legacy At College Hill runs 75 certified beds in Wichita under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 3.84 hours per resident day, essentially right at the national average of 3.86. That sounds fine until you notice weekends run about 17 percent leaner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and when problems often surface. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 63 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $43,188 and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating point to a home that has struggled to stay in compliance, even though its quality and staffing scores sit in the middle.
Staffing is this home's strongest number. At 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 16% above the national average, and a 38.2% turnover rate sits well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekends thin out roughly 11% from weekday coverage, worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays.
The trouble sits in the inspection record. Twenty-two deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and a $36,040 fine. The most recent inspection was in February 2026. Strong day-to-day care, but a survey history that needs explaining before you sign anything.
