Nursing homes across Jackson County, Missouri, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Clara Manor runs 90 certified beds in Kansas City under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where things get uncomfortable, a one-star staffing rating means nurse hours sit below what CMS considers adequate for this resident population. The inspection record backs that up: 89 deficiencies, including six at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, and twelve tied to abuse. A four-star quality measure rating looks better on paper, but those scores come from resident assessments the facility largely reports itself, and they don't cancel out a one-star inspection history. The most recent survey was October 2025, so the record is current, not stale. For a family weighing this placement, the staffing and abuse findings deserve direct questions before anything else.
Alpine Breeze runs on 2.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 38% under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below what the home already provides on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 58.6% against a national 45.8%, so the people giving care keep changing. The inspection record shows 53 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 abuse-related, with $35,683 in fines across three penalties; the last inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score well, but that's the part of the record families can't easily verify, the staffing and inspection numbers are the ones that describe daily life there.
Ignite Medical Resort Carondelet runs 162 certified beds in Kansas City under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.74 hours per resident day, roughly 29% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday numbers, and annual turnover hits 66% against a national 45.8%, so the people who remain are stretched thin. The current record carries 72 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. A 4/5 quality measure score stands out against a 1/5 staffing rating, and the last inspection was January 16, 2026. Ask about direct-care hours on weekends before you decide.
Parkview Healthcare runs on 2.75 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends drop another 8% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in its record: 96 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, nine tied to abuse, and $140,021 in fines across four penalties. Washington has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most troubled homes, and its last inspection closed in February 2025. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. Turnover, at 44.8%, is about average, which means the instability isn't the story here, the short staffing and inspection history are.
Rehab Of Kansas City South runs about 3.10 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends are about 17% thinner than its own weekdays. That staffing shortfall shows up in other numbers: 59.5% of staff left over the past year against a 45.8% national rate, and CMS gives staffing a single star out of five. The inspection record carries 45 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and the last survey was in February 2025. This is a for-profit LLC with 100 certified beds, a two-star inspection rating, and a three-star quality measure score.
Lee's Summit Place runs on thin nursing coverage: 2.91 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 15% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. That shortfall shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at the lowest mark, and in turnover of 73.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses around your family member are likely to keep changing. The inspection record is more reassuring: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with the most recent survey in April 2025 and 30 deficiencies logged, just one of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. No abuse deficiencies appear on the current record.
Wilshire at Lakewood runs 170 beds in Lee's Summit under limited-liability ownership, and its inspection history is the strongest part of the picture, a recent survey, a four-star health inspection rating, and no repeat of serious problems since. Staffing is where the trouble sits: 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, with weekends about 12% thinner than weekdays. Turnover hits 66.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your family member are new to the building. The 34 deficiencies on record include one at harm level and two tied to abuse, which is worth asking about directly before you decide.
Aspire Senior Living Oak Grove runs a 90-bed for-profit home in Jackson County, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stand out. At 2.73 nurse hours per resident day, it's roughly 29% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 16% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 38.9%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the problem here, raw coverage is.
The inspection side looks stronger: a 4/5 health inspection rating and 27 deficiencies on record with none at the harm level, though 2 are abuse-related. But the 1/5 quality measure rating, paired with a 2024-08-02 inspection date, suggests the clinical picture doesn't match the survey results.
Blue Springs Wellness & Rehabilitation runs on 2.69 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% under the national average, with weekends about 12% thinner than weekdays. That staffing shortfall sits alongside a 68.9% annual turnover rate, well above the national 45.8%, and a one-out-of-five CMS staffing rating. The inspection record shows 66 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $116,230 in fines and a March 2025 inspection. The five-star quality measure rating reflects resident assessment data, not the hands available to deliver care.
The Rehabilitation Center of Independence runs on 2.68 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 31% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 73.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people around your relative change often. Its current record carries 56 deficiencies, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $71,208 fine.
The 5/5 quality measure score looks good, but that's self-reported data, and the 1/5 staffing rating and 2/5 inspection rating come from what surveyors actually found. Ask about weekday-to-weekend coverage before you decide.
Maywood Terrace runs on thinner staffing than most homes, about 3.49 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 9% below what the building manages on weekdays. The turnover number is the one that should stop you: 92.6% of staff leaving annually, when the typical U.S. nursing home sits near 45.8%. That kind of churn usually means caregivers who know your mother's routine aren't there long enough to learn it. The inspection record backs up the concern: 54 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a 2/5 inspection rating and 1/5 on both quality measures and staffing. It's for-profit, LLC-owned, last inspected July 2024.
Armour Oaks is a 38-bed nonprofit home in Kansas City, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd ask about. At 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, it runs roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: two out of three caregivers left last year, against a national rate near 46%. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 35 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. Ownership is nonprofit, which sometimes signals stability, but the current record doesn't show it here. I'd ask direct questions about who's actually on the floor on Saturday.
Abode Health and Wellness Center in Independence has more direct-care nursing hours than the typical U.S. nursing home, 4.21 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's the one number here that looks reassuring, and it comes with a caveat: weekend staffing drops about 4% below the home's own weekday level.
Everything else on the record is hard to get past. CMS has cited 80 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse. Fines total $269,476 across 24 penalties, and the home sits in Medicare's Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes. Its last inspection was in February 2025. Staffing hours don't fix an inspection record like that.
Parkway Health Care Center runs on 2.25 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 42% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star staffing rating. The inspection record is heavier: 98 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, drawing $30,821 in fines. Staff turnover hits 67.4% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing care keep changing. The most recent inspection was October 23, 2024. Corporate-owned, 97 beds.
Bridgewood runs on 2.45 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 9% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families visit. Staff turnover sits at 58.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people providing that care are frequently new. The inspection record is what stands out most: 125 deficiencies, 26 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 36 tied to abuse, and $973,967 in fines across 13 penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. The most recent inspection was April 28, 2025.
Jefferson Health Care runs 118 beds in Lees Summit under corporate ownership, and the numbers describe a home stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, with weekends running about 16% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 64.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year probably won't be there next year. The inspection record shows 61 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus $34,459 in fines. That inspection was recent, April 2025, so the picture isn't stale.
Edgewood Manor is a for-profit LLC home in Raytown with 91 certified beds, and the numbers that matter most here are the staffing ones. At 2.61 nurse hours per resident per day, it runs roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, weekends dip even further, and 70% of staff turned over in a year, well above the 45.8% norm. Its inspection record carries 72 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 10 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $84,557. The last inspection was October 2024. Quality measures score mid-range, but thin, churning staffing and that deficiency history are what families should weigh.
Gregory Ridge is a 116-bed for-profit home in Kansas City, and the numbers behind its record are hard to argue with. Nurse staffing sits at 2.37 hours per resident day, roughly 39% below the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. Staff turnover runs 68.4% a year against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new or on their way out.
That instability shows up in the inspection record: 100 deficiencies, 15 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 18 abuse-related, and six fines totaling $708,002. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes.
Raintree Village runs a small house, 40 beds, and staffs it well above the national average at 4.92 nurse hours per resident day. That cushion matters most on weekends, and here it thins by about 14% against the home's own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about directly since that's when families tend to visit and notice. The inspection record is thin: one deficiency on file, nothing at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and the most recent state visit came in May 2025. Corporate ownership doesn't tell you much on its own, but combined with that staffing and citation picture, the numbers suggest a home that has been running clean.
