Medicalodges Post Acute Care Center

Medicalodges Post Acute Care Center sits over on Greeley Avenue in Kansas City, KS, and you'll find it offering skilled nursing and both short-term and long-term care for people who need help after a hospital stay or who are living with chronic conditions, where there's a special focus on dementia, memory care, Alzheimer's, and also hospice for those who need it, and you'll see the staff includes licensed nurses, medical practitioners, certified nursing assistants, and physical therapists all available to help with basic daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication management, and moving around, and while there are 65 certified beds, an average day sees about 27 residents staying here. The team gives care 24 hours a day, trying to help every resident keep their physical and mental health as strong as possible, and they manage things like meals, nutrition, therapy, and activities, with extra help given for people who need mobility support or transport to appointments, and they've set up strong safety and security measures-especially for folks with memory problems-to keep everyone safe from wandering or getting lost. Medicalodges Post Acute Care Center runs as a 100% employee-owned, for-profit facility under Medicalodges, Inc., and they have programs for assisted living, residential care, in-home care, developmentally disabled individuals, and even adult day and respite care, plus specific units for cardiac care and rehabilitation, so there's always a range of care options, and you'll get the benefit of care plans that try to match what each person really needs. Inspections have turned up some concerns, though, mainly about nutrition, dietary staffing, food supply, and prevention of abuse, neglect, and theft, with 62 deficiencies in recent reports, including five related to infections, but even so, the facility meets federal standards for Medicare and works to keep things clean and welcoming. Average nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours for each resident daily, a little above the state average, even though nurse turnover is a bit high at 56.1%, and the center's reputation sits at a 2.0 out of 7 reviews as of now, so it's not perfect, but folks who need a post-hospital place with skilled nursing and specialized memory care might find what they need here, though it's smart to ask about those past inspection results when considering a place like this.
