What the CMS Record Reveals About Good Samaritan-Olathe

According to CMS Nursing Home Compare, Good Samaritan-Olathe ranks #136 of 294 rated nursing homes in KS on overall stars (tie-broken by health+staffing+quality, then fewer fines).

The inspection file contains 37 deficiency records from recent surveys, of which 1 reached the actual-harm or immediate-jeopardy threshold on the CMS scope-and-severity grid. CMS has not levied any fines or payment denials against this facility. Reported nurse staffing runs 3.90 total hours per resident day (national average 3.86); RN hours specifically are 0.82 per resident day.

Classified as "Non profit - Corporation" ownership and operating as a "Medicare and Medicaid" provider, Good Samaritan-Olathe falls into a category where comparative context matters. Reported nursing staff turnover at this facility is 28.9% (CMS payroll-based measure).

Why sub-scores and the CMS methodology matter

The overall score is a composite of three weighted sub-ratings published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services: health inspection results, staffing levels, and quality measures. 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.

National research consistently shows that ownership structure, staffing hours, and turnover are the three operational levers that correlate most strongly with resident outcomes, ratings and fines are lagging indicators of those upstream choices. The staffing metric in particular is the one most strongly tied to resident outcomes in peer-reviewed literature.

For families evaluating this facility, the CMS record should be read alongside a site visit, direct conversation with current residents and their families, and review of the state health department's most recent inspection report, the star rating is a starting point, not a verdict. All data on this page is sourced from CMS Provider Data and the Nursing Home Compare program; always verify the same record on Medicare.gov Care Compare and with the facility or your state survey agency before making placement decisions.
