Is Maple Heights Nursing & Rehabilitative Center a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

There are no official resident reviews of nursing homes: Medicare's Care Compare publishes inspections, staffing and quality data instead. Here is what that record shows for Maple Heights Nursing & Rehabilitative Center as of October 2026.

CMS rates it 3 out of 5 stars overall, about the same as the Kansas average of 3.1. Inspectors issued 26 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 1 penalty, including $8,278 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 2 out of 5; for long-term residents, 5 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Online reviews from families and residents are on Google Maps and other sites; they reflect individual experiences and aren't checked by CMS. The full inspection reports, including what inspectors observed, are on Medicare Care Compare.
