The facility holds certification for both Medicare and Medicaid and operates with 77 certified beds. It serves residents in the Burlington area and surrounding communities in east-central Kansas. The facility carries an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS assigns these ratings across four categories: overall performance, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Life Care Center of Burlington received a health inspection rating of 3 stars, indicating performance at or near the national average in that category. The staffing rating of 2 stars falls below the national average, reflecting lower levels of staff coverage relative to comparable facilities. The quality measure rating of 5 stars, the highest available, indicates that the facility performed at the top tier on clinical outcome measures tracked by CMS. Life Care Center of Burlington accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, making it accessible to a broad range of residents who rely on federal or state-funded coverage. Individuals whose coverage type differs or who are considering private pay options should contact the facility directly at (620) 364-2117 to confirm current payment policies and availability. When viewed in the context of national averages, the facility presents a mixed but generally favorable profile. Its 4-star overall rating exceeds the national average of 3.0 stars, driven in significant part by its 5-star quality measure score. However, the 2-star staffing rating represents a notable area where performance falls short of national norms, a factor that families and individuals may wish to consider when evaluating care options. The 3-star health inspection rating suggests inspection results that are broadly consistent with national benchmarks. Taken together, the data indicates a facility that demonstrates strong clinical outcomes while carrying below-average staffing levels relative to other certified nursing facilities across the country.
