Our read on Caritas Center, Inc
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.
