Nursing Facilities with Zero Deficiencies

Lenette Hamm • February 25, 2025

A nursing home’s failure to meet a Federal participation requirement is defined as a deficiency. Examples of deficiencies include a nursing home’s failure to adhere to proper infection control measures and to provide necessary care and services. Each deficiency is given a letter rating of A through L based on the State agency’s determination of the scope and severity of the deficiency. See chart below.

KABC keeps track of inspection results for every licensed long-term care facility in Kansas.  We look for patterns or trends of both good quality care and poor care.


The
following six nursing facilities in Kansas had no deficiencies cited during their most recent health inspection:


  • Bethesda Home, Goessel
  • Haviland Health and Rehab
  • Ross Hall, Leavenworth
  • North Point Skilled Nursing Center, Paola
  • Yates Center Health and Rehab (recently burned down, all residents and staff were safely evacuated)
  • Villa Maria, Mulvane


In addition, Ross Hall, Haviland Health and Rehab, and Yates Center Health & Rehab have had three consecutive inspections with no deficiencies.


To learn more about these facilities or any others in Kansas, contact KABC.  We can provide up-to-date information about inspection results, complaint investigations, changes in administrators or owners and more at no cost.  Let us help you in finding the best care possible for your loved ones.

In 2025, KABC marked a major milestone: 50 years of advocating for the safety, dignity, and rights of older Kansans. Our newly released 2025 Impact Report reflects a year of meaningful progress, powerful advocacy, and deep community connection. This past year, KABC assisted hundreds of residents and families through direct advocacy, strengthened long-term care oversight through legislative work, and expanded access to information with the launch of a statewide senior resource directory in partnership with KDADS. We also amplified resident voices through media coverage, testified before legislative committees, and successfully countered efforts that would have weakened long-term care safety standards. As part of our 50th anniversary, we brought advocacy into the community with new events like Revving Up Joy, a classic car show connecting residents and neighbors, and a public screening of No Country for Old People , sparking critical conversations about the realities of long-term care in America. None of this work is possible without the support of our donors, partners, board members, and volunteers. Your commitment fuels our mission and helps ensure older Kansans are seen, heard, and protected. Read our full 2025 Impact Report here .
