This place needs to be shut down. State needs to get involved. Staff is mistreated, patients don't get proper care due to short staff. D.O.N. won't allow Covid testing anymore even though they have patients and staff that have tested positive. They have mice/rats running all over the place. D.O.N. won't let patients go to hospital when needed & has resulted in a patient going into a coma as she was finally headed to the hospital. Talk to the staff away from the facility & you'll get the full breakdown of the terrible things going on.

Place is rude and dilapidated, they aren't up to Ada standards by any means. Rooms aren't clean and generally a mess. Im not one to write reviews but when you have a family member living in unsafe filth you say something. I hope state comes soon. Examples holes in the floors, flooring peeling up and they have tape over it. With as much as a place like this makes they should have no problem remodeling.

This is awesome building!!!! The team at Wichita all work together and take great care of their residents. They are very dedicated and passionate about the residents. The facility truly tries very hard to make a difference for our patients, whether is it transitioning to long term care or rehabbing to home
