Wheat State Manor runs on a paradox: the hands-on care is there, but the paperwork and follow-through aren't. Staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially matching the national average, and annual turnover of 24.1% is roughly half the national rate, a genuinely good sign that the people here tend to stay. Weekends run about 17% lighter than weekdays, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Where it slips is oversight: 37 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a 2/5 inspection rating and 1/5 on quality measures. One fine, $7,960. The last inspection was January 2026.

Minneola District Hospital Ltcu runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 26-bed home, 7.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 85% above the national average, though weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday pace. That staffing cushion is doing a lot of work here, because the inspection record is rough: 23 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a one-star health inspection rating despite a March 2025 survey that's still recent. Government hospital-district ownership doesn't change the picture either way. The quality measure score sits at two stars, so what you're really weighing is whether strong daily coverage outweighs a troubled survey history.

Medicalodges Columbus runs 4.90 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, and weekends dip only about 8% below its own weekday levels. That staffing cushion is real, but it comes with churn: 55.3% annual turnover against a 45.8% national figure, meaning the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is the harder read, 21 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $36,322 in fines across two events, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. Strong quality measures and steady hours don't erase a two-star health inspection history.

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.

Good Samaritan Society - Atwood runs a tight ship on retention: 22.2% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stay, and that kind of continuity matters for residents who need familiar faces. The staffing rating reflects that stability, though total nurse hours of 3.58 per resident day sit about 7% under the national figure, with weekends running roughly 11% lighter than weekdays.
The inspection record is where it gets harder to explain. Twenty-six deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $68,956 in fines across three penalties, all reflected in a one-star health inspection rating despite a June 2025 survey. The quality measure score sits at two stars. Strong retention and a clean staffing score don't offset a record like that.

Trinity Manor runs about 46 beds in Dodge City under for-profit LLC ownership, and its most recent inspection wrapped up in January 2025, so the record you're looking at is current, not stale. The health inspection side holds up reasonably well, but 15 deficiencies on file include two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, which is the kind of thing worth asking about directly rather than glossing over. Staffing sits slightly under the national average at 3.69 nurse hours per resident day, and weekends run thinner than weekdays by roughly 12%, so coverage can dip when it matters. Turnover at 40.5% is better than average, though two fines totaling $29,773 suggest the problems weren't just paperwork.

The Cedars in McPherson is a 54-bed nonprofit home where nurses spend more time per resident than most places in the country, about 4.98 hours a day versus a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover sits at 64.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so consistent caregiving is the weak spot. Its last inspection came in January 2026, and the record holds 29 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but four tied to abuse. Subtract the inspection strength and the staffing picture gets wobblier than the raw hours suggest.

Sunporch Of Smith County runs on a nonprofit model with just 22 certified beds, and the staffing numbers stand out: 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, earning a top staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 44.8%, essentially in line with the national rate. Inspections are the strongest signal here, a five-star health inspection rating, last visit in October 2024, and nine deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and none abuse-related. The weaker spot is the two-star quality measure rating, which reflects clinical outcomes rather than the inspection or staffing picture. Small homes live and die by who's on shift, so visit at different times and watch the care firsthand.

Wakefield Care and Rehab runs 45 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing picture is genuinely better than most: 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average, with turnover at 32.4% against a national 45.8%. That's a workforce that stays put more than the typical home. Weekends tell a different story, though, coverage drops about 18% below the facility's own weekday level. The inspection record is current, dated September 2025, with 12 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $15,593. Quality measures score low even as staffing scores high, so the numbers don't move in the same direction.

Medicalodges Wichita runs a 55-bed for-profit home where the nurse staffing works out to 3.90 hours per resident day, barely a whisker above the national average of 3.86. That staffing star rating of 4 is the strongest thing the place has going for it, though weekends drop about 15% below weekday coverage, so a Saturday shift looks different from a Tuesday one. What tempers the picture is turnover at 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national average, and 19 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, but a volume worth asking about. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the record is current.

Onaga Operator runs 45 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, just barely over the national average of 3.86, roughly a 1% edge. The bigger staffing concern is weekends, which run about 15% below what the home covers on weekdays. Turnover comes in at 33.3%, notably better than the 45.8% national figure, so workers are staying longer than at the typical home.
What drags the record down is inspections: 18 deficiencies, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $51,274. The most recent inspection was April 30, 2026.

Botkin Care and Rehab runs 45 certified beds in Wellington under corporate for-profit ownership, and its clinical record is genuinely strong, a four-out-of-five on health inspections and a perfect quality measure score, with a February 2025 inspection that found 10 deficiencies but nothing rising to harm or jeopardy and no abuse citations. The staffing side tells a different story. At 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover, at 43.9%, is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. Good care when inspectors look, thinner coverage day to day.

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.

Cedar Village runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 30-bed nonprofit home, 5.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 47 percent above the national average, and that shows up in a five-star staffing rating. Inspections are current and strong at four stars, with 18 deficiencies on record but only one at the harm level and none tied to abuse. The weak spot is quality measures, where it sits at one star, and turnover runs slightly above the national rate at 47.8 percent. Weekend coverage dips about 13 percent below weekday levels, which matters in a building this small, where one call-out changes the whole shift.

Providence Place runs 45 beds in Kansas City under corporate for-profit ownership, and its clinical quality scores are genuinely strong, a 5 out of 5 on CMS quality measures. The staffing picture is more mixed: 3.80 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover hits 50%, above the 45.8% national figure. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 29 deficiencies, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and none involved abuse. What that adds up to is a home with real clinical strengths and a staffing margin thin enough that weekends and turnover are worth asking about directly.

Salina Presbyterian Manor runs a nonprofit home of 60 beds, and its staffing is genuinely strong, 4.75 nurse hours per resident day, about 23% above the national average, with weekends only about 10% thinner than weekdays. That helps explain the four-star staffing rating. The problem sits elsewhere: 29 deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding and $30,861 in fines across three cases. Staff turnover is 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was October 2023. Good coverage, but the compliance history is what a family should ask about directly.

Evergreen Community of Johnson County is a nonprofit home in Olathe with 86 certified beds, and its staffing is the standout fact: 5.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, earning a 5-out-of-5 staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 45.3%, basically the national average, meaning the strong hours aren't coming from a unusually stable team. Inspections in February 2026 produced a 4-star health rating but 24 deficiencies on record, two at the harm level, and $22,913 in fines. Quality measures scored 2 out of 5, the weak spot. Plenty of nursing time, mixed clinical results.

Cheney Golden Age Home runs a tight ship on staffing for a 40-bed nonprofit in Sedgwick County. Nurses give 4.18 hours of care per resident per day, about 8% above the national average, and turnover sits at 38.3% against a national 45.8%, that kind of retention matters when you're small enough that every aide knows every resident. Weekends thin out roughly 12% from weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The tradeoff shows up in quality measures, which score low, and 17 deficiencies on the current record, though none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse. The last inspection was November 2024.

Catholic Care Center runs a nonprofit home with 159 certified beds in Bel Aire, and its staffing numbers are genuinely above average, 4.28 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage, so the weekday ratio overstates what a Saturday looks like. The bigger concerns sit elsewhere: staff turnover of 57.1% runs well past the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record shows 38 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $24,205 fine. The last inspection was December 2024. Strong staffing and quality marks don't cancel out a two-star inspection history or the churn that keeps replacing the people providing the care.

Parkview Heights runs 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, a little under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 39.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated May 2026. CMS gives four stars each for health inspections and staffing, but only two for quality measures. Corporate for-profit ownership of a 45-bed home. The staffing and inspection numbers are solid; the quality measure score is the piece worth asking about directly.
