More about Klaton Consultants
Resource and Clinical Support nurses move across the Topeka, Kansas City, and Manhattan regions, handling the work that shows up when a community needs a licensed responder: falls, condition changes, behaviors, admissions and re-admissions, pharmacy reviews, labs, physician rounds, order entry, and QAPI threads. Some roles also cover the RCC seat when it is vacant or on leave, so your calendar follows community need as much as a fixed unit roster. Pay on public estimates for LPN Resource work has recently clustered in the low-to-high $20s per hour, with Regional RN Assessment Coordinator estimates higher; those figures are third-party ranges, not a confirmed employer scale in the material we have. What is stated clearly is medical, dental, vision, voluntary insurance, PTO, and a scholarship program. You will need an LPN license (compact or multistate for some Clinical Support postings) and a car you trust, because the job is built on showing up across communities rather than parking once for the shift.
Working here
Culture and working life
What to consider
The good
- Regional resource work across Assisted Living communities rather than one fixed floor
- Clinical Support role acts as primary escalation for falls, condition changes, behaviors, and QAPI
- Scholarship program offered
- Medical, dental, vision, voluntary insurance, and PTO listed on postings
- Path into Regional RN Assessment Coordinator / MDS coordination across communities
- Topeka living costs about 11% below the national level with short typical commutes
The hard parts
- Coverage spans Topeka, Kansas City, and Manhattan regions—driving is part of the job
- Reliable transportation is required
- You may cover RCC duties when that role is vacant or on leave
- Public pay figures are third-party estimates only, not confirmed employer-stated rates
What to weigh
This is regional road work, not one building: you cover Assisted Living communities across Topeka, Kansas City, and Manhattan, need reliable transportation, and step in for RCC when that seat is vacant or on leave.
The reality check
Before you decide
Weighing a first job here?
The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
