What the CMS Record Reveals About Bishop Spencer Place, INC, the

Bishop Spencer Place, INC, the operates 57 certified beds in Kansas City, MO with approximately 43 residents currently in care, and carries a CMS overall rating of 3 out of 5 stars. The overall score is a composite of three weighted sub-ratings published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services: health inspection results (3★), staffing levels (4★), and quality measures (4★). Because CMS caps the overall score at the health-inspection tier and then adjusts up or down based on staffing and quality, the sub-scores often tell a sharper story than the headline star count alone, a 3-star facility with weak inspection history reads differently from one held back by thin staffing.

On the enforcement side, CMS has assessed 1 penalty totaling $8K against this provider, a tangible indicator that regulators moved beyond citation into financial consequence. Staffing is reported at 5.19 total nursing hours per resident day (national average 3.89), with RN coverage at 0.85 per resident day, the single staffing metric most strongly tied to resident outcomes in peer-reviewed literature.
