CLAY CENTER PRESBYTERIAN MANOR

Clay Center Presbyterian Manor is a nonprofit, corporation-owned skilled nursing facility located at 924 8th Street in Clay Center, Kansas (ZIP: 67432). The facility operates 30 certified beds and is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid patients. It is situated in Clay County and can be reached by phone at (785) 632-5646. The facility holds a 5-star overall rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which is the highest rating on the 5-point scale used to evaluate nursing homes across the United States. This overall rating is derived from three component ratings. The health inspection rating stands at 4 stars, reflecting the results of on-site inspections conducted by state surveyors. The staffing rating is 5 stars, the highest possible, indicating staffing levels relative to the resident census as reported to CMS. The quality measure rating is 2 stars, which is below the national average and reflects performance on clinical quality indicators such as rates of hospitalizations, falls, and other measurable health outcomes among residents. As a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility, Clay Center Presbyterian Manor accepts patients covered under both federal programs. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific eligibility criteria and duration limits. Medicaid coverage for long-term care is available to eligible individuals who meet Kansas state income and asset requirements. Individuals seeking information about private pay options or additional insurance coverage should contact the facility directly. When compared against the national average overall CMS star rating of 3.0 stars, Clay Center Presbyterian Manor performs above average at the overall level with its 5-star rating. The staffing component, also at 5 stars, similarly exceeds national norms. The health inspection rating of 4 stars places the facility above the national midpoint. However, the quality measure rating of 2 stars falls below the national average, suggesting that certain clinical outcome indicators at this facility trail those seen at a typical nursing home nationally. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to review each component rating individually, as the overall star rating represents a composite that may not reflect performance in every specific area.
