Westview of Derby Rehabilitation & Health Care Center sits in Derby, Kansas, close to cities like Wichita, Mulvane, Rose Hill, and Haysville, making it convenient for families spread out nearby or those who want to stay near familiar towns and medical facilities. Built in 1979, this center stands near Chisholm Creek and South Area neighborhoods, with apartments and condos in walking distance, and a walk score of 67, so it's somewhat walkable but not the easiest place to get around on foot compared to city living. The facility is in Sedgwick County, zip code 67037, and students from Swaney Elementary, Derby Middle School, and Derby High School live nearby, so there's a mix of neighbors around, not just seniors.
Westview of Derby focuses on both rehabilitation and long-term care, with a total of 60 certified beds, and offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care options through its Rosewood Memory Care area, where seniors get indoor and outdoor spaces designed to be safe and secure. The staff includes licensed nurses, certified nursing assistants (CNAs), and certified medication aides (CMAs), and they're described as knowledgeable and highly regarded, offering medical attention, daily assistance, and support for seniors who need more help. The facility has on-site dialysis, rapid recovery options, skilled nursing care, along with individualized care plans suited for different needs, and amenities that promote social activities, including community living rooms and enclosed walking grounds.
The facility offers kitchen staff and servers for food service and has been cited in the past for food sourcing and nutrition-related concerns, with deficiency F0812 pointing to dietary standards that could have been better, but there's been no actual harm reported. There's also a record of deficiency F0838, which means management needs to improve its overall assessment of resources. With 54 documented deficiencies, including three about infection control, the center's most recent inspection was more than two years ago, which is longer than recommended, showing that there's room for improvement. The center operates as a for-profit company, owned mainly by Westview Of Derby Property LLC, Tutera Group, and Joseph Tutera, and since August 2021, Walnut Creek Management Company LLC and Kiley Brooks have provided managerial control. Nurse staffing is at 3.07 hours per resident per day, but nurse turnover is higher than state averages at 62.9%, so staff changes happen more often than some other places.
Residents at Westview can take part in programs and activities meant to keep them active while enjoying amenities that help them interact socially and relax in a supportive environment, with a focus on promoting health, independence, and well-being.
