Wheat State Manor

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
24%

0

Wheat State Manor runs on a paradox: the hands-on care is there, but the paperwork and follow-through aren't. Staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially matching the national average, and annual turnover of 24.1% is roughly half the national rate, a genuinely good sign that the people here tend to stay. Weekends run about 17% lighter than weekdays, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Where it slips is oversight: 37 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a 2/5 inspection rating and 1/5 on quality measures. One fine, $7,960. The last inspection was January 2026.

Medicalodges Columbus runs 4.90 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, and weekends dip only about 8% below its own weekday levels. That staffing cushion is real, but it comes with churn: 55.3% annual turnover against a 45.8% national figure, meaning the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is the harder read, 21 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $36,322 in fines across two events, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. Strong quality measures and steady hours don't erase a two-star health inspection history.

0

Parsons Presbyterian Manor runs a nonprofit home with 43 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.60 hours per resident day, about 19 percent above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest part of the picture, and it shows in a five-star staffing rating. Other numbers pull the other way. Staff turnover hits 56 percent against a national average near 46, and weekend coverage drops roughly 11 percent below its own weekday level. Inspections look strong on the star rating, yet the record holds 19 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $14,433. High marks on paper, real gaps in the details.

Staff turnover
22%

Good Samaritan Society - Atwood runs a tight ship on retention: 22.2% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stay, and that kind of continuity matters for residents who need familiar faces. The staffing rating reflects that stability, though total nurse hours of 3.58 per resident day sit about 7% under the national figure, with weekends running roughly 11% lighter than weekdays. The inspection record is where it gets harder to explain. Twenty-six deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $68,956 in fines across three penalties, all reflected in a one-star health inspection rating despite a June 2025 survey. The quality measure score sits at two stars. Strong retention and a clean staffing score don't offset a record like that.

Staff turnover
41%
Serious cites
0

Trinity Manor runs about 46 beds in Dodge City under for-profit LLC ownership, and its most recent inspection wrapped up in January 2025, so the record you're looking at is current, not stale. The health inspection side holds up reasonably well, but 15 deficiencies on file include two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, which is the kind of thing worth asking about directly rather than glossing over. Staffing sits slightly under the national average at 3.69 nurse hours per resident day, and weekends run thinner than weekdays by roughly 12%, so coverage can dip when it matters. Turnover at 40.5% is better than average, though two fines totaling $29,773 suggest the problems weren't just paperwork.

Serious cites
0

Sunporch Of Smith County runs on a nonprofit model with just 22 certified beds, and the staffing numbers stand out: 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, earning a top staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 44.8%, essentially in line with the national rate. Inspections are the strongest signal here, a five-star health inspection rating, last visit in October 2024, and nine deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and none abuse-related. The weaker spot is the two-star quality measure rating, which reflects clinical outcomes rather than the inspection or staffing picture. Small homes live and die by who's on shift, so visit at different times and watch the care firsthand.

Wakefield Care and Rehab runs 45 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing picture is genuinely better than most: 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average, with turnover at 32.4% against a national 45.8%. That's a workforce that stays put more than the typical home. Weekends tell a different story, though, coverage drops about 18% below the facility's own weekday level. The inspection record is current, dated September 2025, with 12 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $15,593. Quality measures score low even as staffing scores high, so the numbers don't move in the same direction.

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.

Onaga Operator runs 45 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, just barely over the national average of 3.86, roughly a 1% edge. The bigger staffing concern is weekends, which run about 15% below what the home covers on weekdays. Turnover comes in at 33.3%, notably better than the 45.8% national figure, so workers are staying longer than at the typical home. What drags the record down is inspections: 18 deficiencies, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $51,274. The most recent inspection was April 30, 2026.

Botkin Care and Rehab runs 45 certified beds in Wellington under corporate for-profit ownership, and its clinical record is genuinely strong, a four-out-of-five on health inspections and a perfect quality measure score, with a February 2025 inspection that found 10 deficiencies but nothing rising to harm or jeopardy and no abuse citations. The staffing side tells a different story. At 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover, at 43.9%, is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. Good care when inspectors look, thinner coverage day to day.

Providence Place runs 45 beds in Kansas City under corporate for-profit ownership, and its clinical quality scores are genuinely strong, a 5 out of 5 on CMS quality measures. The staffing picture is more mixed: 3.80 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover hits 50%, above the 45.8% national figure. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 29 deficiencies, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and none involved abuse. What that adds up to is a home with real clinical strengths and a staffing margin thin enough that weekends and turnover are worth asking about directly.

Salina Presbyterian Manor runs a nonprofit home of 60 beds, and its staffing is genuinely strong, 4.75 nurse hours per resident day, about 23% above the national average, with weekends only about 10% thinner than weekdays. That helps explain the four-star staffing rating. The problem sits elsewhere: 29 deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding and $30,861 in fines across three cases. Staff turnover is 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was October 2023. Good coverage, but the compliance history is what a family should ask about directly.

Parkview Heights runs 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, a little under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 39.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated May 2026. CMS gives four stars each for health inspections and staffing, but only two for quality measures. Corporate for-profit ownership of a 45-bed home. The staffing and inspection numbers are solid; the quality measure score is the piece worth asking about directly.

Oswego Operator runs 40 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday coverage, so the care you'd see on a Saturday isn't quite what you'd see mid-week. Annual turnover comes in at 40%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection score is strong, and the most recent survey was late December 2025, so the record is current. But there are 18 deficiencies on file, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and the quality measure score is weak at 2 out of 5.

Hillside Village Of De Soto Rehabilitation And Nur runs 49 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.79 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. That gap is small, but the weekend pattern matters more: staffing drops about 9% below its own weekday level, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 45.2%, a hair under the national 45.8%, so retention here isn't the problem it is at many homes. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, though none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse, and the most recent inspection was January 7, 2026. The quality measure rating is strong; the health inspection record is solid.

Westchester Village of Lenexa runs a small house, 34 certified beds, and it's putting more nursing hours into each resident than most homes in the country do, roughly a third above the national average. That's the real story here, and it shows up in the staffing rating. What tempers it is turnover: more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year, well past the national rate, so the people delivering those hours keep changing. The inspection record is recent and clean at the serious end, 22 deficiencies on file, none tied to harm or abuse. Quality measures are the weak spot, scoring well below the staffing and inspection results.

Delmar Gardens Of Lenexa runs 222 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, just about 1% above the national average of 3.86. That thin margin narrows further on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 6% below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection date is March 18, 2026. CMS rates health inspections 4 out of 5, quality measures 3, and staffing 3. For a family weighing this one, the staffing edge over average is real but slight, and the weekend dip is worth asking about directly.

Via Christi Village Manhattan runs a nonprofit home in Riley County with 93 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. That cushion thins on weekends, when coverage drops about 8% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 49% runs a few points above the national 45.8%, meaning many of the people providing that care are still new to the building. The bigger concern is the inspection record. Twenty-three deficiencies are on file, seven of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with four fines totaling $96,781. No abuse citations appear. A recent inspection, dated April 30, 2026, found those problems despite solid marks on quality measures and staffing.

Pratt Health and Rehab runs 45 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover of 47.5% means roughly half the nursing staff leaves each year, just above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is more reassuring: 4 of 5 stars from CMS, with the most recent survey in March 2026. But 22 deficiencies sit on the current record, including two at the harm level, and one fine of $22,925. No abuse citations. Quality measures land at 3 of 5. Steady oversight, uneven follow-through, and thin weekend coverage, that's the tradeoff here.

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.
