Merriam Gardens Healthcare & Rehabilitation has been cited for a total of 60 deficiencies since we began saving each survey. We believe it is worthwhile to show how things are and were. Some improve and some get worse. Rather than a snapshot, we take s longer view than most. A longer view, we believe, paints a better and more worthwhile picture. We start from them most recent and go back as you scroll down.

Tip: Surveys happen throughout the year and you may want to check with the location or here to see if more recent data is available for Merriam Gardens Healthcare & Rehabilitation.

Since we bagan longer term (multi year tracking, numbers will naturally be higher than 3 (or so surverys).
There are 311 nursing homes in Kansas with a total of 14,032 deficiencies resulting in an average of 45.12 deficiencies per nursing home.



The following table describes how deficiencies are scored. An easy way to remember the severity of a deficiency's scope is that the further along in the alphabet (A through L) the scope value is, the more severe the deficiency is.
Additionally, A through F means no actual harm has happened.
