This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 65% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 22 findings, above the VA average of 14.5. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
August Healthcare at Leewood receives high praise for its recent renovations, cleanliness, and friendly, professional staff. While many families report excellent care and responsiveness, a subset of reviewers describes critical failures in medical oversight, hygiene, and communication, particularly regarding infection management and responsiveness to urgent needs.

“The nursing staff here were amazing. They were kind, attentive, and made me feel comfortable the entire time.”
“The nursing staff was good and attentive in caring for him except till the end of his stay. The therapy team was wonderful in recovering his speech and physical cap”
“My grandma was here after a hip surgery. Before she left the hospital they had her stand up as she started PT. Once she went to Leewood she never stood again. She also had a fever for two days and SEPSIS and said she didn’t have an infection or fever.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
