Good Samaritan Society - Parsons runs a tight nursing operation for a 45-bed nonprofit in Labette County. Nurses deliver 4.30 hours of care per resident per day, roughly 11 percent above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 21.2 percent, less than half the national rate of 45.8 percent. That kind of retention shows up in consistent care, though weekend staffing drops about 14 percent below weekday levels, so families should ask who's covering Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record isn't spotless: 11 deficiencies on file, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations. The most recent state visit came in April 2025. Quality measure scores lag behind the strong staffing and inspection marks.

Parsons Presbyterian Manor runs a nonprofit home with 43 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.60 hours per resident day, about 19 percent above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest part of the picture, and it shows in a five-star staffing rating.
Other numbers pull the other way. Staff turnover hits 56 percent against a national average near 46, and weekend coverage drops roughly 11 percent below its own weekday level. Inspections look strong on the star rating, yet the record holds 19 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $14,433. High marks on paper, real gaps in the details.

Elmhaven East runs 45 beds in Parsons under individual for-profit ownership, and its last health inspection was in April 2025, so the record is current. The staffing picture is mixed: total nurse hours sit just under the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 15% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 66.7% is well above the 45.8% national figure, that churn matters more than a single day's census. The 32 deficiencies on record include one at the harm level, though none involve abuse. Good quality and staffing star ratings sit alongside that turnover and the harm citation, which is the tension worth understanding here.
