Hill Top House runs on a government hospital district budget in Bucklin, and the numbers suggest the money goes to people. Nurse staffing sits at 4.38 hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, and weekends only dip roughly 5% below weekday levels, a small gap by nursing home standards. Staff turnover is 29%, well under the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 15 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a middling 3 out of 5 inspection rating, though the last survey was recent, in November 2024, with nothing abuse-related. With 29 beds, it stays small enough that consistency matters more than scale.

Bethel Health Care Center runs on 4.91 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home. That time holds up reasonably well on weekends, dipping about 14% below its own weekday level, and only 31.3% of staff left last year against a national average near 46%. The inspection record is clean where it counts: five deficiencies total, none involving harm or jeopardy and none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in December 2024. Three straight five-star ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, run by a nonprofit corporation, describe a home that is well-staffed, stable, and currently in good standing.

Community Hospital Onaga Ltcu runs about 5.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 48% above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 20% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 30%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and no deficiencies on its current record involve harm, jeopardy, or abuse. This is a small 26-bed nonprofit home in Pottawatomie County with a clean inspection history, last surveyed in October 2024. The staffing cushion and low turnover matter more than the nine total deficiencies, which are all lower-level. For a family weighing care here, the numbers point to consistent coverage and stable workers.

Villa St Francis in Olathe runs on Catholic nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers show it: 5.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 46% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, though 25.9% annual turnover is well under the national 45.8%, a stable crew by industry standards. The trade-off sits in inspections: 25 deficiencies on the current record, one abuse-related, none at harm or jeopardy level, with the last survey dated December 31, 2024. CMS scored staffing and quality measures 5 out of 5, inspection 3 out of 5. Plenty of attention per resident, a recent survey, and paperwork problems that didn't rise to actual harm.

Southwind At Spearville runs on an unusually steady crew for a nursing home its size. Nurse staffing sits near 4.78 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips below weekday levels, a gap that typically signals a home isn't scrambling to fill shifts. Annual turnover of 10% is strikingly low next to the national 45.8%, which matters more than any single inspection score, since aides who stay tend to know residents' routines. The tradeoff: 13 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. State inspectors last visited in January 2026, so the picture is current.

Dooley Center runs 44 certified beds in Atchison under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.02 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, which is common but still worth knowing if you're planning visits or worrying about Saturday care. Annual turnover is 33.3%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in October 2025.

Lone Tree Retirement in Meade runs 4.73 nurse hours per resident day, about 23% above the national average, and that staffing shows: the federal staffing rating comes in at 5 out of 5, with turnover at 39.6%, lower than the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The catch is the inspection record: 18 deficiencies, one involving actual harm, with the last survey in August 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, but that one harm-level finding and a 3-out-of-5 inspection rating are what hold this for-profit home back.

Stanton County Health Care Facility in Johnson runs on a city/county budget, and the numbers show a place where people tend to stay. Annual turnover is 13.3 percent, well below the national 45.8 percent, and total nurse staffing sits at 5.27 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the 3.86 national average. Weekend coverage dips only about 8 percent from weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out much on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspectors logged 24 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the last visit was August 2025. The staffing star rating of 1/5 looks odd next to those hours; CMS's scoring there weighs things like RN coverage specifically, not just total volume.

The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and the last inspection was April 8, 2026. Weekend staffing dips about 11% below its weekday level, which is common but worth asking about if you're planning visits on Saturdays or Sundays. For-profit individual ownership, 80 beds. The numbers here hold up.

Larksfield Place runs on lean, steady staffing: 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, and weekend coverage drops only about 9% from weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out much on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 33.9% against a national average near 46%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in October 2024. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders. The numbers describe a home that is well-staffed, stable, and currently clear of serious findings.

Leonardville Nursing Home runs on unusually deep staffing for a 55-bed nonprofit, 5.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage only dips about 13% below weekdays, which is a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 34.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people here tend to stay. The tradeoff is a longer paper trail: 12 deficiencies on record, one abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. A clean five-star inspection rating and a recent October 2024 survey back that up.

Moundridge Manor runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership and 4.86 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover is 19.8%, less than half the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The record isn't spotless: seven deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $20,295. No abuse citations, and the last inspection was September 2024. Strong staffing and low turnover are doing real work here; the harm-level findings are the part to raise directly with the administrator.

Wesley Towers runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.00 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 41.9% versus 45.8% nationally. The tradeoff shows up on weekends, when coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday afternoon. Its last inspection was in March 2026, and the record shows 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A nonprofit corporation operates the 52-bed home.

Mount St. Mary is a small nonprofit home in Wichita, just 24 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 5.08 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about a third above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only slightly below its own weekday level, which is better than many homes manage. Staff turnover sits at 31%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025.

Bethesda Home in Goessel runs on a nonprofit model with 57 certified beds, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops about 16% below what the home provides on weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is the standout: 31.6% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay. Five deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2025.

Bethel Home sits in Montezuma, Kansas, a 56-bed nonprofit run by a church group. The numbers that matter most here are the people: nurses provide 4.58 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 19 percent above the national average, and only 28.6 percent of staff leave annually against a national rate near 46 percent. That kind of retention usually shows up in how consistently residents see the same faces. Inspections in January 2025 turned up 15 deficiencies, including one causing harm and one tied to abuse, so there's real room for improvement despite the strong staffing and quality ratings. Weekend coverage dips about 13 percent below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits then.

Western Prairie Senior Living in Ulysses runs a 60-bed for-profit operation, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 4.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, with a 36% turnover rate that beats the 45.8% national figure. That combination matters because consistent hands are the hardest thing to keep in rural Kansas, and they're keeping more of them than most. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about directly. The 21 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was December 2025, so the picture isn't stale. The tradeoff sits in the health inspection rating, which is middling even while quality measures and staffing both score at the top.

Kansas Soldiers Home runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home, 6.58 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's the strongest thing about it, and it shows up in the five-star staffing rating. Turnover sits at 27.6%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekends thin out, though, running about 24% below weekday coverage.
The inspection record is the harder part: 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related, with a two-star health inspection rating. The last survey was August 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. State-run ownership, 56 beds, and a mixed record, strong hands on deck, but real problems documented.

Anderson County Hospital Ltcu runs 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its staffing rating reflects that. The catch is weekends, when hours drop roughly 18% below the home's own weekday level, that's when gaps tend to show up. Turnover sits at 44.7%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, so the crew is comparatively stable. Inspections in February 2025 turned up 16 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none were abuse-related. For a 36-bed nonprofit hospital-based unit, the day-to-day numbers look reasonable; the weekend dip and those two harm-level findings are what pull the overall picture down.

Lawrence Presbyterian Manor runs 40 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.83 hours per resident day, roughly half again what the typical American nursing home provides. Weekend coverage dips only slightly below weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out much when families visit. What pulls against that picture is turnover: 53.7% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the home carries 15 deficiencies on its current record, one tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. Its last inspection was in February 2026, and CMS rates it 3 of 5 on health inspections but 4 of 5 on both quality measures and staffing.
