Our read on Apostolic Christian Home

The Apostolic Christian Home in Sabetha is a 76-bed nonprofit run by a church, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, with a 5-out-of-5 staffing rating and turnover at 41%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Weekends run roughly 11% leaner than weekdays, which is common but worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The caution is inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 30 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $13,397 fine. The most recent inspection was December 18, 2024, so that record is fairly fresh.
