Our read on Kiowa Hospital District Manor

Kiowa Hospital District Manor runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 29-bed home, 6.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two and a half hours more than the national average, and its most recent inspection was in September 2025, so the record is current. The catch is in the inspection findings: ten deficiencies on file, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, which is what pulls the overall picture down despite the five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, and turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially matching the national rate. As a government hospital-district home, it answers to local public ownership rather than a chain.
