Watchdog says Nursing Home Home Quality Varies Widely in Kansas

    A Lawrence-based nursing home watchdog organization has released its annual report on the best and worst-performing nursing homes in Kansas. It’s based on inspection reports for the last three survey periods—roughly the last three years. KPR’s Bryan Thompson asked Mitzi McFatrich, of Kansas Advocates for Better Care, what differentiates the higher from the lower-performing institutions?  Listen to the conversation to discover the answers, or follow the links to read the report from the advocates.
