Medicalodges of Wichita

Medicalodges of Wichita sits in Wichita, Kansas, and has 55 certified beds, with about 41 residents on an average day, and belongs to Medicalodges, Inc., a for-profit company, and operates as a 100% employee-owned community focused on skilled nursing and rehabilitation. The staff includes registered nurses on-site and provides 24-hour supervision, along with physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and in-home care for residents and people with developmental disabilities, while also offering dementia and specialized memory care programs. There's a mix of private and semi-private rooms, and common areas where residents can socialize, and they do offer some amenities and activities aimed at making life more comfortable, but the facility's inspection reports show 17 deficiencies, including two infection-related violations, one for failing to have a strong infection control program and another about improper food procurement and handling, and also one for not keeping essential equipment working safely. Nurse turnover stands at 66%, well above the Kansas average of 50.4%, although the facility does provide more nurse hours per resident than the state average, with 4.23 nurse hours each day. The community includes both assisted living and long-term care, leans on teamwork among its staff, and has an information request form if you want to schedule a tour or ask about services, with a brochure available for viewing, so you can see they offer a range of care services, but it's good to know about the reported deficiencies and higher nurse turnover when considering this facility.
