Every Medicare-certified nursing home in Kansas, graded on inspections, staffing, turnover
and enforcement history.
12 homes in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
The for-profit LLC that runs Azria Health Great Bend staffs at 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 14 percent thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The inspection record shows 33 deficiencies right now, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's or jeopardy's path, and two tied to abuse. Four fines total $59,830, and a July 2025 inspection is recent enough that those findings reflect how the home operates today. Staff turnover sits at 47.4 percent, a bit above the national average, meaning the people caring for your relative keep changing. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, land at 2 out of 5.
Medicalodges Arkansas City runs 45 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, barely a whisker above the national average of 3.86. That thin margin matters more when you look at weekends, which run about 13% leaner than weekdays, and at a turnover rate of 73.5% against a national figure of 45.8%. The inspection record is where the real trouble sits: 35 deficiencies on file, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, six tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $72,592. State inspectors last walked through in June 2025 and rated the health inspection side 1 out of 5.
The nurse staffing number at The Gardens At Aldersgate looks fine on its face, 4.01 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but the turnover rate tells a different story. At 64.2%, roughly three in five caregivers are leaving each year, well past the national figure of 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 7% below what the home runs on weekdays. The inspection record is the harder problem: 56 deficiencies, four serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $56,617, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. A for-profit LLC operation with that citation history and 175 beds is worth a close, unannounced visit before you decide anything.
Riverview Estates runs on a paradox: the aides show up, but the building keeps failing inspections. At 4.35 nurse hours per resident day, staffing sits about 13% above the national average and earns a top CMS staffing rating, though weekends run roughly 12% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover of 51.3% tops the national 45.8%. The trouble is everything else. Health inspection and quality measure ratings both sit at the bottom, with 25 deficiencies on record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse. Two fines total $35,839, and the last inspection was March 2025. Good coverage can't offset a record like that.
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.
Medicalodges Great Bend runs leaner than most on turnover, 53.7% of staff leave each year against a national average of 45.8%, which means nearly half the people caring for your family member this year may not be there next year. The staffing hours look good on paper (4.53 per resident day, about 17% above the national average), but weekends drop roughly 17% from weekday levels, and 43 deficiencies sit on the current record, including seven at the harm level and four tied to abuse. Four fines totaling $52,185 have been levied since the last inspection in July 2024.
Staffing is this home's strongest number. At 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 16% above the national average, and a 38.2% turnover rate sits well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekends thin out roughly 11% from weekday coverage, worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays.
The trouble sits in the inspection record. Twenty-two deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and a $36,040 fine. The most recent inspection was in February 2026. Strong day-to-day care, but a survey history that needs explaining before you sign anything.
Nurse staffing at The Healthcare Resort Of Kansas City runs 4.34 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, but the workforce behind those hours churns hard, 60.4% turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekends drop about 15% below weekday coverage. The inspection record is the bigger problem: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 55 deficiencies logged, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. One fine totaling $28,834 is on file. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and the most recent inspection was May 2026. Strong quality measure scores don't offset that history.
Grand Plains Skilled Nursing By Americare in Pratt runs on 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, so the raw staffing number looks fine. The trouble is how it holds up: weekend staffing drops roughly 18% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 64.2% against a national average of 45.8%. That's a lot of new faces cycling through a 60-bed building. The current inspection record carries 17 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with one fine of $14,352 and a survey from March 2025. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, staffing, come in at 2 out of 5.
Logan County Senior Living runs 30 beds as a nonprofit, and the direct-care hours are genuinely better than most, 4.19 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips modestly below its own weekday pace, which is typical but worth watching at a home this small. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 25 deficiencies on file, six of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $98,346. Staff turnover sits right at the national average, so retention isn't the problem here, oversight and compliance appear to be. Ask about the abuse citations and what changed since the February 2026 survey.
Attica Long Term Care runs on thin margins, and you can see it in the numbers. The hospital district that owns it staffs nurses at 3.95 hours per resident day, just above the national average, and those hours thin out on weekends, roughly 12% below what the home itself manages Monday through Friday. Turnover sits at 36.2%, better than the national 45.8%, so the people who stay tend to stay.
The problem is the record. Eighteen deficiencies, two serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and one tied to abuse. The health inspection rating reflects that. Quality measures land in the middle. If you're weighing this one, the staffing is genuinely a strength, but ask hard questions about those harm-level findings and who's supervising on Saturdays.
Legacy On 10Th Avenue runs on 3.01 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 10 percent below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 65.4 percent against a national 45.8, most of the people caring for your relative will be gone within the year. The inspection record is the heavier problem: 55 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, with a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating. That last inspection on March 31, 2026 means the findings are current, not old history.
Willow Point runs about 45 beds in Kansas City, and its overall nurse staffing, 3.85 hours per resident day, sits essentially at the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage. The bigger problem is who's giving that care: annual turnover hits 80% against a national 45.8%, so the faces change constantly. The inspection record backs that up, with 57 deficiencies on file, five at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Ownership is corporate, for-profit, and the last inspection was October 2024.
Westview of Derby runs on thin staffing. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 62.8 percent, against a national 45.8 percent, means the aides and nurses caring for residents are often new to the building.
The inspection record is the harder problem: 53 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $100,981. That 1-out-of-5 inspection rating sits alongside a 5-out-of-5 quality measure score, a gap worth asking about directly. This for-profit LLC is licensed for 78 beds, with its most recent inspection in March 2025.
The numbers at Parkview Health and Rehabilitation Center describe a home stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 3.19 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below what residents get on weekdays. Staff turnover of 64.7% means most caregivers are relatively new, against a national rate around 46%.
The inspection record is the harder read: 52 deficiencies on file, three involving actual harm or jeopardy, eight tied to abuse. One fine so far, $16,834. The last inspection was August 2025, so the record is current rather than stale.
This is a for-profit limited liability operation with 58 certified beds. The staffing and inspection scores both land at the bottom of CMS's scale.
Azria Health Olathe runs 125 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.12 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average. But weekends drop about 6% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 51.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where it gets harder to defend: 45 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with three fines totaling $70,947. Its most recent inspection was September 2025. CMS gives it one star for health inspections, two for quality measures, and two for staffing. Plenty of hands on weekdays, but a troubled survey history and unstable workforce are the real story.
Easton Health Care Center runs thin on nursing hours, 2.63 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a third below it. Weekend coverage drops about 11% under the facility's own weekday level, so the gaps get wider when families tend to visit. The inspection record is heavy: 40 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $22,431 and a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5. State inspectors were last in the building on January 13, 2026. For-profit ownership through a limited liability company rounds out the picture.
Meadowbrook Rehabilitation Hospital in Gardner runs 42 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers worth your attention are on the inspection side. The current record shows 47 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, and CMS gave the home a 1 out of 5 on health inspections. Three fines totaling $98,974 have been levied. Staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, with weekends running roughly 10% lighter than weekdays, and turnover at 51.1% against a national 45.8%. Quality measures rate better than the inspection record does, but that gap itself tells you something.
Great Plains Post Acute runs about 3.63 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits on top of a 78.9% annual turnover rate, far above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. The record shows 61 deficiencies, nine of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, five tied to abuse, plus $49,505 in fines from five separate penalties. A for-profit LLC owns the 118-bed building, and its last inspection was April 22, 2026.
Kenwood View runs a for-profit operation with 82 beds, and its staffing is the first thing I'd flag. At 3.22 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The current inspection record carries 47 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. Quality measures score 1 out of 5, and that's with a December 2024 inspection, so the picture is fairly recent. Turnover near 45% matches the national rate, meaning steady churn rather than stability. Worth asking direct questions before committing.
