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.

Now that the clinic is considering leaving the 92 acres Garvey’s family foundation gave the nonprofit, which is known for its prominent eight geodesic domes and pyramid along K-96, vice president of operations Steve Howard said the late Garvey still is directing the clinic’s future. “It’s important to stay grounded in her vision for the place.” The clinic’s management and board is considering a possible move downtown to not only be part of a growing medical and academic corridor but also to have an updated, more modern facility that more people might associate with medical care. “The Riordan Clinic as a facility has always had trouble communicating what takes place in those domes,” Howard said. Garvey’s vision created what has become an internationally-known — sometimes better outside of Kansas than in — research facility and center devoted to
