Florence Home

Staff turnover
42%
Serious cites
0

Florence Home runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.41 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in its five-star CMS rating for it. Turnover sits at 42.4%, slightly better than the typical 45.8%, though weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, which families often feel on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy, but two are abuse-related, so ask directly how those were resolved. State inspectors were last in on November 17, 2025. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders. Quality measures rate four stars; health inspections, three.

Quality Living runs about 8.63 nursing hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, and that staffing depth shows up in a 4-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips roughly 15% below the weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The 41.8% turnover is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was March 3, 2025. Nonprofit ownership, a 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating, and a 3-out-of-5 inspection rating round out the picture: strong staffing, average compliance.

Sumner Place runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.14 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the weekend dip is mild, roughly 10% below its own weekdays. Staff stick around, too: 27.8% annual turnover is well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters more than any single inspection. The current record shows six deficiencies, none causing harm and none tied to abuse, and the last state visit was in May 2025. This is a nonprofit corporation with 104 beds, a four-star inspection history, and no red flags in the numbers.

Heritage Estates in Gering runs on a nonprofit corporate model with 102 certified beds, and the staffing numbers back up its five-star staffing rating: 4.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average of 3.86. That said, weekend coverage drops about 14% below the home's own weekday level, something worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 51.5%, higher than the 45.8% national average. The inspection record is clean where it counts: seven deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 2025. Quality measure and health inspection ratings both sit at four stars.

Heritage of Bel Air runs a nonprofit shop with 112 certified beds in Norfolk, and the numbers underneath its grade tell a mixed but mostly reassuring story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.94 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and the 35.8% turnover rate is meaningfully better than the typical 45.8%, people tend to stay here. Inspections are another matter: 11 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. The most recent inspection was July 31, 2025. Quality measures score well, but weekend staffing drops about 15% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays.

Brookefield Park runs on a non-profit model with 70 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the real story here. At 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% above the national average of 3.86, and the 22.9% turnover rate is roughly half the national figure of 45.8%, which suggests people actually stay. Weekend coverage dips about 19% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Ten deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2026. Star ratings land at 3 for health inspections, 3 for quality measures, and 5 for staffing.

Good Samaritan Society, Superior runs on 3.57 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends dip about 3% below its own weekday staffing. That's thin coverage, though the home holds onto workers far better than most, 22.2% turnover against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where the concern sits: 15 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, and a 2/5 health inspection rating, though none of the deficiencies reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. Quality measures score 4/5, so the clinical picture looks steadier than the survey history. A nonprofit corporation owns the 69-bed home. Families should ask directly about weekend coverage and those abuse-related findings.

Good Samaritan Society - Osceola

Osceola, NE · Polk County

CMS 5/547 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
3.88 /day
Staff turnover
29%
Serious cites
0

The nurse staffing here works out to 3.88 hours per resident per day, essentially even with the national average of 3.86, so this isn't a place padding its numbers with aides. Weekends run about 17 percent lighter than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is retention: 28.6 percent turnover against a national average near 46 percent, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, but none involved harm or jeopardy and none were abuse-related, and the last inspection was in January 2025.

Brookestone View runs on 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 29.8% against a national 45.8%, that retention is doing real work here. The trade-off is weekends: staffing drops about 12% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly level across the week. Inspections show 11 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent visit was June 2026. All three CMS star ratings land at 4 out of 5. For a 60-bed nonprofit in Custer County, the numbers point to steady nursing presence and stable leadership rather than anything flashy.
