Is Apostolic Christian Home 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 Apostolic Christian Home 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 30 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 1 penalty, including $13,397 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 1 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.

Nursing staff spend about 4.14 hours per resident per day at Apostolic Christian Home, above the Kansas median of 3.96 (US median: 3.72). About 0.74 of those hours are from registered nurses.

Paying for care at Apostolic Christian Home: Medicare and Medicaid

Apostolic Christian Home is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Kansas's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.

Questions to ask on a tour of Apostolic Christian Home

  1. Inspectors cited the home at the immediate-jeopardy level on June 10, 2024 under the rule on quality of life and care. What changed afterwards, and can I see the plan of correction?

  3. CMS rates short-stay quality 1 out of 5. How often do rehab patients go back to the hospital, and how many therapy sessions a week are typical?
  4. Do you have a Medicaid bed open now, and will you admit someone whose Medicaid application is still pending?
  5. When is the first care-plan meeting, and can family attend?

Questions come from this home's CMS data: its inspections, staffing and ownership record.
