Terrace Glen Village runs 4.23 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 10% above the national average, but weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking how that gap gets covered. Staff turnover sits at 32.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. Inspections in November 2025 turned up 10 deficiencies, 3 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and the 4/5 health inspection rating reflects that mixed record. Quality and staffing measures both came back 5/5. Corporate for-profit ownership of a 40-bed home means fewer layers between decisions and residents.

Prairie Vista Village runs on 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, and its weekend staffing holds about 16% below its own weekday level, a dip worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 37.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces month to month. Five deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2025. It's a for-profit LLC with 46 beds, small enough that you can reasonably expect the administrator to know your mother's name.

Northridge Village runs lean in a way that mostly works. Nurse staffing sits at 4.37 hours per resident day, comfortably above the national average, and that shows up in its staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays.
Turnover is the bigger flag: 54.7% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turned over in a year. Inspections came back recently and cleanly enough, with one deficiency serious enough to register as harm. Six deficiencies total, none tied to abuse.

Colonial Village runs a 40-bed for-profit home in Overland Park, and the staffing numbers are genuinely above average, 4.43 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. Weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday level, though, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. The bigger concern is turnover at 63% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are relatively new. Inspections show 28 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a 2/5 inspection rating. The most recent inspection was October 2024, so the record is current.

Kennybrook Village sits in Grimes with 40 certified beds and an individual for-profit owner. The nurse staffing number is the standout: 4.54 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, which is why CMS gives it 4 stars on staffing. Weekend coverage drops about 12% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Turnover runs 49.1%, a bit above the national 45.8%, not alarming, but worth knowing. Twelve deficiencies are on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was January 2026. Inspection and quality measures both sit at 3 stars.

Linden Woods Village sits in Gladstone with 40 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership. The clinical picture is genuinely strong on paper: a 4/5 inspection rating, a 5/5 on quality measures, and 12 deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and none abuse-related. Staffing runs 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average, but weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The bigger flag is turnover at 61.1% against a national 45.8%, nearly a third higher. Consistent caregivers matter for people who can't advocate for themselves, and that churn is worth asking about directly.

Cedar Ridge Village runs 40 beds in West Des Moines under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.13 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, though weekends drop about 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters if your family tends to visit Saturday or Sunday. Annual turnover is 56.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative may not be the ones who were there a year ago. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, with none at the harm level; the last inspection was in August 2025.

Westchester Village of Lenexa runs a small house, 34 certified beds, and it's putting more nursing hours into each resident than most homes in the country do, roughly a third above the national average. That's the real story here, and it shows up in the staffing rating. What tempers it is turnover: more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year, well past the national rate, so the people delivering those hours keep changing. The inspection record is recent and clean at the serious end, 22 deficiencies on file, none tied to harm or abuse. Quality measures are the weak spot, scoring well below the staffing and inspection results.

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.
