The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities across four categories: overall performance, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Aspen Health and Wellness holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. The health inspection rating stands at 1 out of 5, reflecting findings from state and federal inspection surveys conducted at the facility. The staffing rating is 3 out of 5, aligning with the national average and indicating a moderate level of nurse and aide staffing relative to resident census. The quality measure rating is 5 out of 5, the highest possible score, indicating that the facility's clinical outcome metrics, such as rates of hospitalization, use of antipsychotic medications, and resident mobility, compare favorably to national benchmarks. As a facility certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, Aspen Health and Wellness is able to serve residents whose care is funded through either federal program. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific eligibility requirements and time limitations. Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical criteria under Kansas state guidelines. Individuals and families seeking admission are advised to contact the facility directly at (913) 367-1906 to confirm current bed availability, accepted payment sources, and any additional private-pay arrangements. When assessed against national averages, Aspen Health and Wellness presents a mixed profile. The overall 2-star rating and the 1-star health inspection rating are below what CMS considers average performance, suggesting a higher frequency or severity of inspection findings relative to peer facilities nationwide. The staffing rating of 3 stars is consistent with the national midpoint. The quality measure rating of 5 stars represents the strongest possible score in that category and indicates that resident outcome data tracked by CMS compares well to facilities across the country.
