Medicalodges Goddard sits in Goddard, KS and is part of Medicalodges, Inc., which runs as a for-profit company and is 100% employee-owned, which means each staff member has a personal stake in how things go day to day, and you see a big focus on steady care with a real investment from everyone working there, though turnover for nurses has been pretty high at 66%, above the state's average, and the nursing hours per resident each day come in at 3.69, a bit under the state average. The facility has 60 certified beds and an average census of about 46 residents each day, so it doesn't feel overcrowded, and they do keep licensed nurses and personal assistance available around the clock for anyone who needs help day or night. Medicalodges Goddard offers different living options, with both private and semi-private suites-each has kitchenettes for residents who like keeping snacks or small meals handy, and you'll also find laundry and weekly housekeeping services along with cable TV, a private phone line, and access to group activities if you want them.
You'll see this place tries to provide several care levels, so you can find independent living, assisted living in their Gran Villas communities, skilled nursing care, long-term residential care, rehabilitation for those who might just need some short-term help before returning home, home care through Community Care Connections, and support for people with developmental disabilities or memory loss. Most folks find the building to be clean and homelike, and the staff is described as dedicated, highly skilled, and focused on helping residents stay as independent and active as possible, but there are some details worth knowing: inspections found 29 total deficiencies, including four about infection control and a few about accident hazards and supervision, the most serious rated at level D with a finding of no actual harm, but a potential for more than minimal harm, and affecting only a few people at a time, so these aren't major widespread problems, but they've come up more than once over the past year.
Residents can join in different activities, use 24-hour security and call systems, and get help with dressing, bathing, grooming, meals, mobility, and medication management whenever needed. In-home therapy, outpatient therapies, and personal assistance by registered nurses are also offered, and the staff says they stay committed to compassion, friendly service, understanding, and helping everyone reach the best possible physical, emotional, and social well-being. Medical management and wellness monitoring help residents keep up with changing health needs, and amenities are in place to support privacy or to encourage small-group get-togethers, depending on what someone prefers. For those needing memory care or dementia programs, specialized support is available. Medicalodges Goddard offers a wide range of services and tries to cover many types of care in one place, but some inspection reports do note issues that the community continues to address.
