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.

Nurse hours

Western Prairie Senior Living in Ulysses runs a 60-bed for-profit operation, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 4.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, with a 36% turnover rate that beats the 45.8% national figure. That combination matters because consistent hands are the hardest thing to keep in rural Kansas, and they're keeping more of them than most. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about directly. The 21 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was December 2025, so the picture isn't stale. The tradeoff sits in the health inspection rating, which is middling even while quality measures and staffing both score at the top.

Lawrence Presbyterian Manor runs 40 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.83 hours per resident day, roughly half again what the typical American nursing home provides. Weekend coverage dips only slightly below weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out much when families visit. What pulls against that picture is turnover: 53.7% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the home carries 15 deficiencies on its current record, one tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. Its last inspection was in February 2026, and CMS rates it 3 of 5 on health inspections but 4 of 5 on both quality measures and staffing.

Tallgrass Creek sits in Overland Park with 44 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.87 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover of 43.1% edges just under the national rate of 45.8%. What pulls the record down is the inspection history. Seventeen deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $7,446 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2026. Strong daily staffing and a five-star health inspection rating sit alongside a deficiency record that includes the most serious category CMS tracks.

Good Samaritan Society - Hays runs 4.06 nurse hours per resident per day, a bit above the national average, and its weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 28.8% against a national 45.8%, which matters because familiar faces tend to know residents' routines. The inspection record is recent (February 2025) and clean at the harm level: 23 deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related, so ask how that was resolved. Ownership is nonprofit corporate, and the staffing and inspection ratings both come in at five stars.

Wellington Health and Rehab runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating and 12 deficiencies on record, none of them serious enough to cause harm and none tied to abuse. Staffing is the softer spot: 3.48 nurse hours per resident day sits about 10% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover, though, is genuinely low at 33.3% against a 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. For a 44-bed for-profit LLC, the pattern reads as a stable, well-run building that could stand to add nursing hours, especially on weekends.

Good Samaritan Society - Parsons runs a tight nursing operation for a 45-bed nonprofit in Labette County. Nurses deliver 4.30 hours of care per resident per day, roughly 11 percent above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 21.2 percent, less than half the national rate of 45.8 percent. That kind of retention shows up in consistent care, though weekend staffing drops about 14 percent below weekday levels, so families should ask who's covering Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record isn't spotless: 11 deficiencies on file, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations. The most recent state visit came in April 2025. Quality measure scores lag behind the strong staffing and inspection marks.

Brookdale Rosehill runs 92 certified beds in Shawnee, and the numbers hold up better than most. Nurse staffing sits at 3.94 hours per resident day, just above the national average, though weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. Staff turnover is 40%, below the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The 36 deficiencies on record sound like a lot until you see none reached harm or jeopardy level and none involved abuse; that's paperwork and process issues, not resident safety. The last inspection was December 2025, so the picture is current. Corporate for-profit ownership, but the direct-care numbers are what families actually feel.

Twin Oaks runs a for-profit partnership in Lansing with 70 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 4.37 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips roughly 4% below its own weekday level, so care thins out a little on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover sits at 43%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, plus a single fine of $14,521. The most recent state inspection was August 29, 2024, so the picture is fairly fresh.

Lexington Park runs on 4.52 nurse hours per resident per day, about 17% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only around 8% below its own weekday level, a modest drop, though it's worth asking how coverage holds up on Sundays. Turnover sits at 39.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning roughly two in five caregivers leaving in a year, which matters for how well staff know residents. The inspection record is the strongest signal here: a 5/5 health inspection rating with just 8 deficiencies on file, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, from an inspection dated April 2026. Corporate-owned and for-profit, but the numbers back it up.

Arkansas City Presbyterian Manor runs on a nonprofit model with 60 certified beds, and the staffing numbers tell a steady story: 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, which is common but worth knowing if you're planning visits. Annual turnover sits at 26.8%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The current record shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with an inspection as recent as August 2025.

Quaker Hill Manor runs 53 certified beds in Baxter Springs under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its grade are mostly steady. Nurse staffing sits at 3.78 hours per resident day, a hair under the national 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays. The 42.9% annual turnover is actually slightly better than the national 45.8%. On inspections, a December 2025 visit is recent, and its 20 deficiencies include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which matters more than the raw count. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, land at 4 out of 5.

Medicalodges Fort Scott runs 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and CMS gives it top marks on both staffing and quality measures. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops about 17% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 48.8%, a bit worse than the 45.8% national figure. Its inspection record carries 58 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent look came in February 2026. A for-profit corporation owns the 45-bed building. Strong daily staffing paired with a thin inspection history is the tension here.

Manor Of The Plains runs 50 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 51.9% against a national 45.8%, so the staff you meet may not be the staff there next year. The current record carries 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. That's the tension worth sitting with: strong quality and staffing marks alongside real findings and steady churn.

Life Care Center Of Seneca runs a solid operation, and the numbers back that up. Nurse staffing sits at 4.02 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is the real bright spot at 31.1%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stick around. The home carries 15 deficiencies on its current record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Its last inspection was April 2025, and it scored 4 out of 5 stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Brookdale Overland Park runs a 94-bed for-profit operation in Johnson County, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 4.20 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% above the national average. That's a real cushion, not a rounding error. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 14% below the home's own weekday level, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday may look different from a Tuesday. Staff turnover at 53.3% also runs hotter than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. Inspections in January 2026 turned up 23 deficiencies, none at harm level, though one was abuse-related.

Advanced Health Care of Overland Park runs a small 38-bed home, and the staffing numbers are genuinely strong: 4.92 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 13% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 37.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The concerns show up on inspections. The current record carries 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $13,397 fine, and the last inspection was September 2024. The quality and staffing ratings come back high, but that inspection history is what pulls the overall picture down. If you're considering it, ask directly about those abuse-related findings and what changed since.

Weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, so ask how that gap gets handled on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 43.6%, a touch under the national 45.8%. The inspection history is the mixed part: 17 deficiencies on record, one of them at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $18,028. The most recent inspection was January 14, 2026, so that picture is current, not stale.

Good Samaritan Society - Olathe runs a nonprofit home with 128 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 28.9% against a national 45.8%, so workers tend to stay. The trouble is the inspection record, 37 deficiencies, one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in July 2025. Weekend staffing also drops about 13% below weekdays. Strong retention and thin weekend coverage can coexist, and here they do.

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.
