Our read on Via Christi Village Hays Ks Llc

Nurse staffing at this Hays home runs about 4.11 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, so direct care hours aren't the problem. The problem shows up nearly everywhere else: staff turnover hit 91.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people delivering that care are largely new and constantly changing. The inspection record carries 46 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with $73,576 in fines and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating; ownership also changed within the past year. Weekend staffing drops about 8% below weekday levels. High turnover plus a serious deficiency history is a pattern worth asking about directly before you decide.
