Kansas: CMS Rating Breakdown
Kansas is home to 297 CMS-certified nursing homes. According to current official CMS figures, these facilities achieve an average Five-Star overall rating of 3.01 out of 5. The ownership structure of the state's nursing homes is predominantly for-profit, with 174 facilities operating on that basis. Nonprofit operators run 104 facilities, while government entities operate 19.
The Five-Star rating system provides a broad indicator of nursing home performance but carries documented limitations. A state-level average represents a general snapshot across all facilities and should not be interpreted as a definitive assessment of any individual home's quality or appropriateness. The rating is not a substitute for medical, financial, or legal guidance. Individuals and families evaluating specific nursing homes should consult each facility's dedicated Care Compare profile on the CMS website for detailed, facility-specific information before making decisions about care placement or selection.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.
