About Nursing Home Care in Oakley
The verdict on nursing home care in Oakley, KS is concerning. While families may be inclined to find quality care locally, the reality is that options are limited and the overall market does not inspire confidence. The standout is Logan County Senior Living Inc, but that’s not a recommendation; it’s the only facility available. Unfortunately, it has serious safety concerns that overshadow any potential positives.
Families should be cautious and consider exploring nursing homes in neighboring cities instead of settling in Oakley. While there are no facilities here that meet our standards, you might want to look at options in Colby or Hays, which offer better-rated facilities with cleaner records and more staffing.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time

- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions

In Oakley, 0 facilities score a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.
