Lawrence Presbyterian Manor is located at 1429 Kasold Drive.

Lawrence Presbyterian Manor has been named one of the nation’s best nursing homes by the U.S. News & World Report for the fourth consecutive year.

The list was published by the national news publication and rankings organization U.S. News & World Report on Tuesday. To create the “Best Nursing Homes” list for 2027, the publication analyzed data about staffing, quality of care, and health and safety inspections at more than 14,000 nursing homes.

The Lawrence Presbyterian Manor was recognized after it scored high in staffing, health outcomes and processes, according to a press release from Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America.

U.S. News’ annual evaluation of nursing homes recognizes less than 18% of the total evaluated. The Lawrence Presbyterian Manor has been on the list for four straight years.

Lawrence Presbyterian Manor has 40 beds, and it has served Douglas County since 1976 with independent and assisted living, long-term care, and short-term rehabilitation.

“Every year, we’re truly honored that U.S. News & World Report recognizes our communities,” Courtney Plantz, president of PMMA, said in the release. “This honor reflects our commitment to providing exceptional care and meaningful experiences for those who call our communities home. It also celebrates the dedication and professionalism our team members bring to their work every day.”

U.S. News & World Report also recognized four other PMMA nursing homes: Aberdeen Village in Olathe, Wichita Presbyterian Manor, Aberdeen Heights in Kirkwood, Missouri, and Rolla Presbyterian Manor in Missouri.
