Independence Nursing Homes

Independence Nursing Homes and Skilled Nursing Facilities

Independence has nine skilled nursing homes, with eight rated by Medicare. The average rating is 1.9 stars out of five, meaning most homes score poorly. Only one facility earns three stars; six others are rated two stars or lower. This low average indicates widespread concerns across the city's nursing home options.

Staffing data shows limited care: average nursing care totals 3.4 hours per resident daily, with just 0.3 hours from a registered nurse. Annual nursing staff turnover is high at 62%, meaning staff change frequently. These numbers suggest inconsistent care and potential challenges meeting resident needs daily.

Jackson County has twelve hospitals, including Research Medical Center, offering nearby medical access. The statewide average cost for a shared nursing home room is $50,735 yearly. Given Independence's low-rated homes, families should consider better-rated facilities in neighboring towns like Lee's Summit or Kansas City, where options score higher on Medicare.
