Walking, balance, transfers and stairs after a qualifying hospital stay.
Medicare Part ANursing & rehab · The Flint Hills, Kansas
Flint Ridge runs four nursing and rehabilitation centers in El Dorado, Augusta, Eureka and Council Grove, so families in the Flint Hills can recover and grow old close to home.
Why small towns
In the Flint Hills, the nearest big hospital can be an hour away, and a lot of families have been told the only good rehab or nursing home is in Wichita or Topeka. That means a wife who can't visit every day, a church that can't bring supper, a dog who never gets to come by. People recover slower when they're lonely.
So we built and bought small-town centers and gave every one of them the same standard: licensed nurses on every hall, a real therapy gym, a nurse practitioner who rotates between buildings and one admissions line that answers seven days a week. Your mother gets city-quality care, and your neighbors still bring the pie.
— Robert Haskell, president

Sample family reviews
After my hip, I could recover in Eureka instead of Wichita. My wife visited every day and my church brought supper twice a week.
The therapists had Dad practicing opening a pasture gate. He went home and fed cattle the next week.
When we moved to Augusta, Mom transferred from Council Grove without starting over.
One phone call on a Sunday, and Hannah found a bed twenty minutes from our house.
Telehealth with the cardiologist saved us a two-hour drive every month.
Rosa healed a wound that had been open since spring.
Kendra helped us with KanCare. We'd been afraid of that paperwork for a year.
Grandpa's dog visits every Saturday. The whole hall waits for him.
Friday bingo in El Dorado is serious business. Mom has won four times.
The nurse practitioner caught Dad's pneumonia early. No ambulance ride to Wichita.
It's small-town care with big-town nursing. That's exactly what we wanted.
When Mom passed, the Council Grove staff came to her funeral. All of them.

We believe people heal faster near the people who love them. So we keep good nursing and real therapy in small towns, where the neighbors still bring pie and the dog can still come visit.
