Staff turnover

Aberdeen Village runs one of the stronger staffing operations you'll see in Johnson County, 5.17 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the national average, and weekend coverage holds within about 7% of weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 35.7%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces week to week. That's the upside. The inspection record is where it gets mixed: 15 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single $8,021 fine, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. Strong staffing grades and a 4/5 inspection rating don't erase those specific findings, ask about them directly before deciding.

Hoeger House runs a small operation in Olathe, 34 beds, nonprofit-owned, and the raw nursing hours are genuinely high: 5.55 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 62.5% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are changing often. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, with no abuse citations and a survey as recent as May 2025. Quality and staffing measures both score at the top of CMS's scale, but that turnover number is the thing worth asking about directly.

Staff turnover

Colonial Village runs a 40-bed for-profit home in Overland Park, and the staffing numbers are genuinely above average, 4.43 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. Weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday level, though, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. The bigger concern is turnover at 63% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are relatively new. Inspections show 28 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a 2/5 inspection rating. The most recent inspection was October 2024, so the record is current.

Staff turnover

Serious cites

Pleasant Valley Manor runs on thin margins in a small county, but the staffing numbers are the real story here. At 4.59 nurse hours per resident day, it's giving residents roughly a fifth more nursing time than the typical American home, and the weekend gap, about 18% below its own weekday level, is smaller than what many facilities show. The catch is turnover: 55.8% of staff leave each year, well above the national 45.8%, so that generous staffing is constantly being rebuilt with new faces. Fifteen deficiencies on record sounds like a lot until you see none reached harm or jeopardy, and no abuse citations appear. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so the picture is current.

Serious cites

Sabetha Manor runs 40 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its strongest number is staffing: 3.92 nurse hours per resident day, slightly ahead of the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 4% below weekdays, but annual turnover of 29.6% sits well under the national 45.8%, a real advantage when consistent aides matter more than raw hours. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. The current record carries 16 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in January 2026. Quality measures score 2 of 5 stars while staffing scores 5, so your read on this home depends on which you weight more: reliable daily care or the inspection and quality side, which lag behind.

Medicalodges Kinsley runs on 6.00 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national average, and that staffing shows up in its four-star rating. The catch is consistency: weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 53.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is the harder read. Thirteen deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $53,580 fine, all from a visit in November 2024. A for-profit corporation operates the 42-bed home, and quality measures rate well even as the health inspection side lags behind.

Sterling Village runs a nonprofit home of 45 beds in Rice County, and the numbers split cleanly in two directions. Nursing hours come in at 4.42 per resident day, roughly 14 percent above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 33.3 percent against a national 45.8, that's a workforce that mostly stays put, though weekend coverage drops about 8 percent below its own weekday level. The trouble is on the health inspection side: 18 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, one fine of $24,206, and a January 2025 inspection that produced a 2-out-of-5 rating. Nobody here is accused of abuse. But two harm-level findings is the part I'd ask about directly.

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.

Halstead Health and Rehabilitation Center runs about 60 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Nurses provide 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 12% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 38.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's actually showing up. The inspection record is where things get heavier: 31 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. The last inspection was April 2026. Quality and staffing measures both score well, but the raw deficiency count and thin daily hours are worth asking about directly.

Diversicare Of Larned holds 80 certified beds in Pawnee County, and its inspection record is the strongest thing it has going: 19 deficiencies on the current record with none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, from an inspection dated January 8, 2026. Staffing tells a different story. At 3.40 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 12 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13 percent below its own weekday numbers. Annual turnover of 52.1 percent sits above the 45.8 percent national figure, so aides cycling out is a real pattern here, not a one-off. The corporate for-profit owner keeps quality measures high, but thin weekend coverage is worth asking about directly.

Life Care Center of Kansas City runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.48 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday levels. That staffing pattern comes with 52.2% annual turnover, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record shows 61 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse; the last survey was in August 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. The quality measure scores look strong and the health inspection score doesn't, which is a split worth asking about directly when you visit.

Montgomery Place runs on 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, a hair above the national average of 3.86, but weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The bigger story is staff retention: 25% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters more for daily care than a marginal staffing edge. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection came in February 2025. This for-profit LLC home carries a 4/5 inspection rating. Solid, not spotless.

Pinnacle Park runs 60 certified beds in Salina under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers suggest a home that's mostly doing right by its residents. Nurse staffing sits at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially matching the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, which families should keep in mind when visiting hours matter. Staff turnover of 27.5% is well below the national 45.8%, meaning caregivers tend to stick around, and the 5/5 quality measure rating backs that up. The health inspection rating is 4/5, with 21 deficiencies on record and one at the harm level; the most recent inspection was July 2024.

Downs Care and Rehab runs 45 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid: 14 deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent state visit in July 2024. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is retention: 35.1% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stick around longer than at the typical home.

Ranch House Senior Living runs a 60-bed for-profit operation in Garden City, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture, 4.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, with turnover at 36% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekdays, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: 23 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, and a 2/5 quality measure rating despite the good staffing. The last inspection was April 2025, so the record is reasonably current. Ask directly about those two serious deficiencies and what changed afterward.

Diversicare Of Council Grove runs 60 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.26 hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends get thinner still, dropping about 17 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask how that gap gets filled. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse; the last inspection was August 2024, and CMS scored health inspections 2 out of 5. Turnover lands at 41.7 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure. Quality measures scored 4 out of 5, which is where the stronger numbers live.

Clay Center Presbyterian Manor runs 30 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.51 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent above the national average of 3.86. That's a real margin, and it shows in a five-star staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 17 percent below the home's own weekday level, so a Friday admission and a Sunday shift aren't the same experience. Turnover is 46.7 percent, slightly above the national 45.8 percent, meaning the people caring for your relative are often new. Fourteen deficiencies sit on the current record, though none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse. Its last inspection was August 2024, and the health inspection rating came in at four stars.

Good Samaritan Society - Ellis runs 42 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its strongest number is staff retention: 28.9% turnover against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters for residents who need consistent hands. Daily nurse staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident, a touch under the 3.86 national figure, and weekends drop about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related citation. The most recent survey was in December 2025, so that record is current rather than dated.

Wheatland runs a tight ship on the things that matter most. The health inspection record is clean, five stars, nine deficiencies on file with none rising to harm or jeopardy, and no abuse citations, and that inspection happened recently, in June 2025. Staff turnover sits at 31%, well under the national average of 45.8%, which suggests people stick around here. The tradeoff is daily coverage: 3.75 nurse hours per resident is a bit under the national 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below weekdays, so a Saturday or Sunday shift may feel thinner than a Tuesday. For-profit corporate ownership, 45 beds, and mid-range quality measures round out the picture. Solid, not spotless.

Smith Center Health and Rehab runs a tight ship on staff retention, 22.5% annual turnover is half the national average, which matters more than almost anything else for day-to-day consistency of care. The trade-off is raw staffing hours: 3.67 per resident day sits about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage. Inspections look solid, a 4/5 health inspection rating, most recent visit in April 2025, but 14 deficiencies are on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $16,153 fine. For-profit corporate ownership, 45 beds. The retention story is real; the weekend staffing dip is worth asking about directly.
