Smoky Hill Health and Rehabilitation, sometimes called Smoky Hill Rehabilitation Center, sits as a nursing facility with 90 certified beds and usually has about 63 residents each day, offering skilled nursing care, long-term care, and a variety of rehabilitation services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus wound care and memory care for those who need extra support, and there's also respite care for short stays too. The place puts focus on personalized, holistic care using individualized care plans, and employs a dedicated team of caregivers, although the nurse turnover rate is 74.2%, which is higher than the state average, with a staffing level of 3.49 nurse hours per resident per day, a bit lower than the state average of 4.0. Residents here get comfortable accommodations, modern amenities, advanced therapy equipment, and outdoor spaces that are well cared for and good for fresh air, and there are engaging social programs, a newsletter, and support through the long-term care ombudsman, so people can stay entertained and connected. Smoky Hill Health and Rehabilitation is a for-profit facility managed by Hmg Services, L.L.C. since June 2014, and it's affiliated with Hmg Healthcare and Healthmark Group, Ltd, with owners including Roland Culp, Laurence Daspit, and Derek Prince, and this group has a focus on community wellbeing and people-centric care. The building's designed to be modern, functional, and safe, with special resources for people who need skilled therapy, advanced recovery help, or memory care. However, past inspections have found some issues, such as medication errors, pain management problems, infection-related deficiencies, and a total of 61 cited deficiencies through state inspections, so that's something families often want to keep in mind when comparing care options. While Smoky Hill aims for high standards and compassionate care, these inspection reports and staffing levels are useful facts to consider for anyone thinking about residence here. The facility offers virtual tours for those who want to see more before visiting in person.

Caring staff amid overall neglect
I had a mixed but mostly negative experience. I found the facility clean and therapy/rehab and several frontline staff (Monica, Chelsea, Sam and hospice) genuinely caring and family-like. However, chronic understaffing, poor/absent management, long call-light waits, missed or delayed meds and pain control, unsafe lifts/transfers, visitation restrictions, and a persistent urine/cleanliness problem felt neglectful. Communication was horrible, costs high, and until staffing, safety, and leadership improve I would not trust this place with my family.
