These are the 15 best Wichita-area nursing homes, US News says in latest ratings

U.S. News & World Report has evaluated over 14,600 skilled nursing facilities across all 50 states, seeking to find the best nursing homes of 2027. Of those facilities evaluated, nearly one in five (or 18%) received a “Best Nursing Home” recognition in short-term rehabilitation, long-term care or both. Fifteen of those nursing homes are in the Wichita area. “ Choosing a nursing home — whether for short-term rehabilitation following a surgery or illness like stroke, or for long-term residency — is one of the most crucial healthcare decisions a family can make,” Jordan Derk, Ph.D., senior care researcher at U.S. News, said in a news release. “The Best Nursing Homes ratings are designed to equip families with transparent quality metrics so they can make confident, informed care decisions alongside their healthcare providers.” To rate the nursing homes, U.S. News said it analyzed data regarding staffing, patients’ health outcomes and government-conducted health and safety outcomes.

Wichita restaurant was about to get a second rebrand. Now it's just plain closed.

The restaurant space on the northeast corner of Central and Maize has gone through a bit of an identity crisis over the past couple of years. After operating for years as a Planet Sub, the space at 10330 W. Central was taken over by local restaurateur Johnny Chandra and some partners, who opened it in January 2025 as a dual-concept fried chicken and boba restaurant called Crispy & Co/HaneBe. Then, in March, the owners renamed the restaurant Zen Bento and began serving bento boxes with choices such as spicy pork bulgogi, udon noodles, Chinese sweet-and-spicy chicken, and General Tso’s chicken. But in August, Zen Bento closed, and a sign posted on the door said the restaurant was closed for remodeling and would be rebranded as a sushi bar. Those plans are now off, Chandra said. “We decided not to reopen with the new concept because we weren’t able to find a partner to run it,” he said. Now, the 2,360-square-foot space is listed for lease with Landmark Commercial Real Estate . Chandra and his partners have opened several other restaurants in Wichita over the past eight years, starting with Tuptim Thai, 2121 N. Rock Road, in October 2018 and followed

Wichita restaurant owner had decided he'd have to close. Then things changed.

The owner of a Wichita Hawaiian restaurant who recently decided he’d have to close his business has changed his mind. Mike Brotemarkle, the owner of Sharky’s Island Bites at 8918 W. 21st St., had even notified his landlord that he’d be out of the space by Dec. 1. But earlier this week, he told the landlord he’d decided to stay. It all started when Brotemarkle received a cease-and-desist letter from a restaurant based on the West Coast called Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar saying that the Sharky’s Island Bites name was too similar to its trademarked name and that it created brand confusion. The California-based Uncle Sharkii chain, which has several locations across the country, recently partnered with Walmart and is planning to open versions of its restaurants in some stores across the country. It already has opened restaurants inside two Walmarts in Texas. Brotemarkle said that he found himself faced with a decision: fight the lawsuit, close Sharky’s and open it under a different name, or close the restaurant entirely. The first two options, he’d decided, would be too expensive. But Brotemarkle said that his lawyer recently discovered that Uncle Sharkii had let its trademark lapse. Though the chain is

Wichita State reveals 2027 Hall of Fame class with 5 Shocker legends

The woman who helped launch Wichita State’s bowling dynasty. An Olympic semifinalist. One of the greatest power hitters in Shocker softball history. Those are among the five former Wichita State standouts who will receive the university’s highest athletic honor after being selected for the 2027 Shocker Sports Hall of Fame class, announced Wednesday. The newest inductees are softball star Madison (Perrigan) Duncan, women’s bowling standouts Dasha Kovalova and Vicki Little, and track and field All-Americans Viktors Lacis and Aaron True. They will be formally inducted at halftime of WSU’s Jan. 31 men’s basketball game against UTSA at Koch Arena, following a celebration dinner the previous evening. The class spans nearly five decades of Shocker athletic excellence, with perhaps no better example of that history than Little, a Wichita native who helped lay the foundation for one of the most successful college bowling programs in the country. Little was a member of the 1975 Wichita State women’s bowling team that captured the program’s first national championship. Just two years later, she was back on top of the sport, this time as the head coach who guided the Shockers to the 1977 national title. Those championships were the first two of a
