SUNSET HOME INC
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Sunset Home Inc in Concordia, Kansas has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranking #287 out of 295 facilities in Kansas places it in the bottom half, and #3 out of 3 in Cloud County means it is the least favorable option available locally. The facility's trend is worsening, with issues increasing from 1 in 2024 to 14 in 2025. Staffing, however, is a strength, as the turnover rate is 0%, which is well below the state average of 48%, suggesting staff retention is good. On the downside, the facility has accrued $59,976 in fines, which is higher than 91% of Kansas facilities, signaling serious compliance issues. Additionally, there have been troubling incidents, including a failure to administer CPR when a resident went into cardiac arrest and a situation where staff forced a resident to go to bed against their will, raising serious concerns about respect for resident rights and dignity.

About This Facility
What is Sunset Home Inc's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns SUNSET HOME INC an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, which is considered much below average nationally. Within Kansas, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Sunset Home Inc Staffed?
CMS rates SUNSET HOME INC's staffing level at 1 out of 5 stars, which is much below average compared to other nursing homes.
What Have Inspectors Found at Sunset Home Inc?
State health inspectors documented 48 deficiencies at SUNSET HOME INC during 2022 to 2025. These included: 1 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 2 that caused actual resident harm, 44 with potential for harm, and 1 minor or isolated issues. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.
Who Owns and Operates Sunset Home Inc?
SUNSET HOME INC is owned by a non-profit organization. Non-profit facilities reinvest revenue into operations rather than distributing to shareholders. The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 45 certified beds and approximately 38 residents (about 84% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in CONCORDIA, Kansas.
How Does Sunset Home Inc Compare to Other Kansas Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Kansas, SUNSET HOME INC's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 2.9 and health inspection rating (1 stars) is much below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Sunset Home Inc?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Sunset Home Inc Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, SUNSET HOME INC has documented safety concerns. Inspectors have issued 1 Immediate Jeopardy citation (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Kansas. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at Sunset Home Inc Stick Around?
SUNSET HOME INC has not reported staff turnover data to CMS. Staff turnover matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' individual needs, medications, and preferences. When staff frequently change, this institutional knowledge is lost. Families should ask the facility directly about their staff retention rates and average employee tenure.
Was Sunset Home Inc Ever Fined?
SUNSET HOME INC has been fined $59,976 across 6 penalty actions. This is above the Kansas average of $33,679. Fines in this range indicate compliance issues significant enough for CMS to impose meaningful financial consequences. Common causes include delayed correction of deficiencies, repeat violations, or care failures affecting resident safety. Families should ask facility leadership what changes have been made since these penalties.
Is Sunset Home Inc on Any Federal Watch List?
SUNSET HOME INC is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
