Is Access Mental Health 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 Access Mental Health as of October 2026.
CMS has not given it an overall rating yet.
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.
Staffing
25.9% of nursing staff left within a year (Kansas median 47.5%). That is lower than most homes in Kansas, a sign of a steadier team.
About this nursing home
Paying for care at Access Mental Health: Medicare and Medicaid
Access Mental Health is certified for Medicaid but not Medicare, so Medicare won't pay for a rehab stay here after a hospital discharge. It can serve long-term residents covered by Kansas Medicaid.
Health inspections
The most recent standard inspection was on June 3, 2026 and found 2 deficiencies. In total, inspectors issued 45 citations in the last three years.
Each citation has a scope and severity letter from A to L. A–C: potential for minimal harm. D–F: potential for more than minimal harm. G–I: actual harm. J–L: immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety.
