A Lawrence-based nursing home watchdog organization has released its annual report on the best and worst-performing nursing homes in Kansas. It’s based on inspection reports for the last three survey periods—roughly the last three years. KPR’s Bryan Thompson asked Mitzi McFatrich, of Kansas Advocates for Better Care, what differentiates the higher from the lower-performing institutions?

Tag:      That’s Mitzi McFatrich. She heads the Lawrence-based nursing home watchdog group, Kansas Advocates for Better Care. Our website has links to their lists of poor performing and top performing nursing homes. She was speaking with Health Reporter Bryan Thompson.

Bryan Thompson has been KPR's Health Reporter since 2000. He's a lifelong Kansan, and a graduate of Wichita State University. He's been involved in radio news longer than he'd care to admit, serving as news director at stations in El Dorado, Liberal, and Salina before joining KPR. He and his wife, Cindy, are the parents of six outstanding children--one of whom now looks down on them from above. In his spare time, Bryan enjoys music and sports.
