Rossville Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center, a 79-bed skilled nursing facility nestled at the edge of the small town of Rossville, Kansas is just a 15 minute drive from the Capital City of Topeka. We like to say we specialize in 'Small Town Values and Care.' By that we explain we provide complex specialty rehabilitative and clinical services similarly offered in the city to care for the vast array of needs our customers may have. All are offered in a rural setting where family, community, and most importantly, those we serve are at the heart of our values and services. We combine TLC and compassion with the complex medical, therapy, and psychosocial need of our residents in a home-like setting.
