Medicalodges,Inc. Great Bend

Medicalodges, Inc. Great Bend sits at 1401 Cherry Lane in Great Bend, Kansas, and it's a nursing home that's part of Cherry Village Benevolence, Inc., with Medicalodges Inc. holding all the ownership and providing the management, which means decisions about this place come directly from the company and its leaders, including the administrator and director of nursing who guide the daily care. The place has 51 certified beds for residents and a wide mix of services, including skilled nursing, assisted living, rehabilitation, long-term care, and memory care for folks with dementia, and has made sure to have a dining services manager, housekeeping supervisor, environmental services manager, social services director, and activities director on staff to try and make sure residents' needs in those areas are met. There's also in-home care services, options for people who are developmentally disabled, and insurance options for long-term care, which means people can fit their stay to their own needs, whether they've come just for a short time or want to settle for the long term. The staff, being part of a 100% employee-owned company, is made up of people who have skills in nursing and caregiving, and they aim to help residents reach their highest well-being, physically, emotionally, and socially, but inspection reports show some problems, like 43 total deficiencies, including issues making sure nurse aides are trained in dementia care or abuse prevention, failing to keep areas free from accident hazards or ensure enough supervision, and three infection-related violations, which all show the place has had safety and training lapses. The average nurse turnover rate is 55.2%, which runs higher than the Kansas average, but the nurse staffing hours are higher than normal, with nurses giving about 4.77 hours of care per resident per day. The community has a rating of 3.4 based on 11 reviews, which is about average, and you can look at www.medicalodgesgreatbend.com for more details. Even with those shortcomings, the facility offers a range of care services, tries to provide comfort and safety, and has a team aiming to look after both physical and emotional needs, though anyone thinking about moving in should pay attention to the past inspection details and current staff turnover.
