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.
Wilson Care and Rehab runs 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 65.1% against a national average of 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses your family member sees are cycling through faster than at most homes. The 28 deficiencies on record aren't the alarming kind, none at harm level, none tied to abuse, and the last inspection was recent, December 2025. But with 40 beds, for-profit LLC ownership, and middling marks on both quality measures and staffing, this is a home where the numbers say adequate, not strong.
Belleville Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs about 3.09 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, roughly 20 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 13 percent below its own weekday levels, which matters when families visit less and problems go unnoticed. Staff turnover sits at 50.9 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents keep changing. Its record shows 29 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $33,616 in CMS fines. The most recent inspection was September 16, 2025. This is a for-profit corporation-owned home where all three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 2 out of 5.
Hilltop Lodge runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes in the country, 3.42 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip even further below its own weekday level, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 43 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in harm's way, with $28,937 in fines behind them. Annual turnover sits slightly above the national rate. The most recent inspection was in January 2026, so the findings are current, not stale. For-profit, LLC-owned, 90 beds. If you're considering this one, ask directly what changed since that inspection.
Arma Operator runs 45 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its most recent inspection in December 2024 landed a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, that part holds up. The trouble sits elsewhere. Nurse staffing runs 3.54 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends dip another 8% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover of 41.2% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure but still means a lot of churn. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with one fine of $14,069. Quality measures scored 2 out of 5.
Spring Hill Care and Rehab runs 45 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers worth knowing are the staffing ones. Nurse coverage sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 4 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is the harder fact: 80 percent a year against a national average near 46 percent, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building. Inspections in June 2025 turned up 36 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with a $21,645 fine on record.
Merriam Gardens runs on 3.01 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 8 percent below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 50 percent against a national 45.8 percent. The 36 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged at harm or jeopardy level and no abuse citations, which matters, but ten fines totaling $74,562 and a two-star inspection rating suggest the problems are persistent rather than isolated. The last inspection was October 2024, so the record is reasonably current. For-profit, limited liability ownership. Ask about weekday-to-weekend staffing patterns and how they hold onto aides.
Via Christi Village Pittsburg runs a nonprofit home with 96 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, though weekend coverage drops roughly 7% below its own weekday level. The bigger issue is turnover: 88.8% annually, nearly double the national rate of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are constantly changing. On inspections it holds a 3-star rating with 29 deficiencies on record, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $13,397 fine. Ownership changed within the past year, and its last inspection was October 2024.
Diversicare Of Haysville runs about 2.88 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 13% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts come exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 55.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team turns over in a year. The inspection record is the harder problem: 40 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $38,327 in fines. The 4/5 quality measure score reflects reported care outcomes, but the 1/5 inspection rating and 2/5 staffing rating describe what surveyors actually found. This for-profit LLC is licensed for 119 beds.
The inspection record at Medicalodges Frontenac shows 29 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy to a resident, and a federal fine of $16,858. Staff turnover runs at 56.3 percent a year, well above the 45.8 percent national average, and CMS rates staffing at just one star out of five. With 55 certified beds and corporate for-profit ownership, the numbers point to a building where workers cycle through quickly and care problems have been documented, not hypothetical. If you're considering this one for someone you love, ask the administrator directly how they're addressing the turnover and what changed after the November 2024 inspection.
Lakepoint Augusta runs about 3.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 50.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. Its inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $15,940. The most recent inspection was October 31, 2024. Ownership is for-profit through a limited liability company. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 2 out of 5.
Diversicare Of Sedgwick runs on 2.96 nurse hours per resident per day, about a quarter below the national average, and weekend staffing drops roughly another 10% under its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 32 deficiencies, two involving actual harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and a $51,670 fine. Staff turnover hits 78% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building. The last inspection was May 2025, so the record is current rather than stale. For-profit ownership through a limited liability company. The quality measure score is decent; the staffing and inspection scores are not, and staffing is what you'd actually feel day to day.
El Dorado Care and Rehab runs 50 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing tells the clearest story here. At 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, it sits slightly under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday coverage. The bigger concern is turnover: 83% of staff leave annually, against a national average near 46%, that kind of churn makes consistent care hard to maintain. Its record shows 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Health inspection and staffing each earned 2 of 5 stars from CMS, with quality measures at 3. The most recent inspection was in April 2026.
Advena Living At Fountainview runs lean on staff. At 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 18% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 15% below its own weekday coverage. That thin margin shows up in the workforce itself: 72.2% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses your family member sees are frequently new. The inspection record carries 35 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $30,566. The most recent inspection was January 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score low against inspection and staffing marks that land mid-range.
Louisburg Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs about 3.49 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip another 11% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 38.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. What stands out is the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $19,218 fine, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is the weakest mark in the file. For-profit ownership through a limited liability company, 60 beds.
Plaza West runs 151 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and the numbers tell a consistent story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 22% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.7% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are often new. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 63 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with ten fines totaling $93,073 and a March 2025 inspection.
Swan Health At Overland Park runs 44 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is more complicated than the headline number. Total nurse staffing sits at 4.42 hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, but weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 66.7% against a national average of 45.8%. The inspection record carries 30 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $82,592 and a May 2025 inspection that produced a 2-star health inspection rating. High turnover and serious deficiency findings tend to matter more than raw staffing averages.
Shawnee Gardens runs 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday numbers. The bigger flag is turnover: 74.2% of staff leaving annually against a national rate near 46% means the people caring for residents are constantly new. Its inspection record shows 57 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $80,905 and a one-star health inspection rating. The last inspection was September 2024. A for-profit corporation owns the 130-bed home, and quality measures sit at three stars while staffing holds at two.
Life Care Center of Andover runs 154 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers that matter most here aren't the quality measures, a 4-out-of-5 there, but the inspection record underneath them. CMS has flagged 58 deficiencies on the current record, including eight serious enough to cite harm or jeopardy and three tied to abuse. Seven fines total $113,851, and the home sits in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the small share of homes with persistent serious problems. Staffing runs 3.75 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and drops about 12% on weekends. Turnover is 51.9%, higher than the 45.8% national figure.
Smoky Hill Rehabilitation Center is a 90-bed for-profit in Salina, and the numbers behind its record deserve a close look. Nurse staffing runs about 16% under the national average, weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekdays, and annual turnover sits at 94.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are, more often than not, on their way out. The inspection history is heavy: 64 deficiencies, 11 at harm or jeopardy level, four abuse-related, five fines totaling $147,090, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes. Its most recent inspection was April 2025.
Good Samaritan Society - Liberal runs a non-profit home with 45 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are genuinely strong: 4.07 nurse hours per resident per day, about 5% above the national average, with turnover at 32.6% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips roughly 15% below weekday levels, which matters when a resident needs help on a Saturday.
Where it falls apart is inspections. CMS rates the health inspection side 1 out of 5, with 32 deficiencies on record, 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $94,784. The home sits in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes, and its last inspection was July 2024. Good staff, serious safety problems.
