Legacy Square runs a lean but well-staffed floor: 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, and weekend coverage holds up better than you'd expect, dipping only about 13% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 23.5% against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The trouble is on the inspection side. Eleven deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, and the health inspection rating reflects that. A single $14,069 fine and a January 2026 inspection round out the picture. Strong staffing can't paper over those findings.

Accura Healthcare of Hartington sits in a small Cedar County town, and its numbers are mostly steady. The building runs lean on nursing hours, 3.41 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled when a resident needs help on a Saturday. Turnover is the bright spot: 31.4% against a national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. Six deficiencies on record, none at harm level, one abuse-related, and a February 2026 inspection. For-profit, limited liability ownership. Worth a visit, worth asking about weekend staffing specifically.

The Ambassador in Nebraska City runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.39 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows in a four-star rating there. Turnover sits at 44.9%, essentially the national rate, while weekend coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, so care can thin out when families visit. Inspections in October 2024 turned up seven deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though two were abuse-related. For-profit corporate ownership is worth knowing about, but the record itself reads steady.

Hillcrest Firethorn runs 72 beds in Lincoln under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national mark, 3.89 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, so about a 1% edge. Weekends tell a different story: coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the genuine bright spot at 37.8%, well under the 45.8% national average, meaning aides and nurses tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in inspections, 12 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse. The last state visit was April 2025, so the record is recent.

Ambassador Health of Lincoln runs 5.36 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 39% above the national average of 3.86, that's the real story here. Weekend staffing dips about 15% below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 40.2%, a bit better than the national 45.8%. Inspections turned up 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. That's a lot of paperwork-level findings without anyone getting hurt, and the state last visited in November 2024. For-profit corporate ownership, 122 beds, and quality and staffing marks that hold up better than the inspection record does.

Heritage of Emerson runs 38 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth under the national average, with weekends about 13% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. Inspections look solid, a 4/5 health inspection rating, a 5/5 on quality measures, and the most recent visit was June 2025. Nine deficiencies are on record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly.

Maple Crest runs a corporate-owned, 175-bed operation in Omaha with a staffing picture that stands out: 4.46 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent above the national average, and turnover at 38.1 percent compared with 45.8 percent nationally. Weekends dip about 10 percent below weekday coverage, so a Friday-to-Sunday stretch looks thinner than the weekday numbers suggest. The inspection record is where the tension sits. That staffing strength earned top marks on the federal staffing measure, but health inspections landed at the lowest rating, with 37 deficiencies on file, five tied to abuse, none flagged at the harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection closed in September 2025, so the record is current, and the quality measures sit below middle.

The numbers here start with people. At 6.66 nurse hours per resident per day, Ambassador Health Of Omaha runs about 72% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 28.3% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, a combination that usually means caregivers stay long enough to know the residents. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows five deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with an inspection completed in July 2025. A for-profit corporation owns the 146-bed building; quality and staffing marks are strong, inspection history solid.

Hilltop Estates runs 4.11 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 6% above the national average, and that staffing shows up as its strongest CMS category. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 18% below the home's own weekday level, the stretch when families tend to visit and when problems often surface. Turnover sits at 46.4%, essentially matching the national rate, so continuity of caregivers isn't unusually bad or good here. Seven deficiencies on record, none causing harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2025. For-profit corporate ownership, 64 beds, middle-of-the-road marks on inspections and quality measures. Solid, not spotless.

The staffing numbers look good on paper, 4.77 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and the federal staffing rating backs that up. But 68.7% of staff turned over in a year against a national average near 46%, which means those hours are often delivered by people still learning the building, and weekend coverage drops about 11% below weekday levels. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies with two tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy, and the last state visit was April 2025. A for-profit LLC operation with that much churn is worth asking about directly.

Heartland Ridge runs lean on one thing and heavy on another. Nurse staffing sits at 5.12 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and weekends dip only slightly below weekdays, so coverage stays fairly steady. The catch is turnover: 77.6% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% norm, which means many of those hours come from people still learning the building. Inspections are the weak spot. Twenty-one deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the last survey was in May 2025. This for-profit LLC is recently inspected and adequately staffed on paper; whether that holds depends on who stays.

Milford Meadows runs 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, about 14 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing star, which sits at the bottom of the scale, while the quality measure star sits at the top, a split worth noticing, since good clinical numbers can coexist with too few hands on a Saturday. Inspectors logged 18 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, and the last full inspection was February 2025. The corporate for-profit owner holds a two-star inspection record, so read the quality score alongside the staffing, not instead of it.

Hemingford Care Center has 39 certified beds and enough nursing hours per resident, 4.02, to sit slightly above the national average. The catch is who's there on weekends, when staffing drops about 12% below its own weekday level, and how long anyone stays: turnover runs 55.3% against a national 45.8%, so the hands at the bedside keep changing. Its record carries 50 deficiencies, 8 of them abuse-related, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program. Inspectors were last out on February 2, 2026. Quality and staffing measures both score 4 out of 5, but the health inspection side tells a harder story.

Life Care Center of Elkhorn runs 135 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.77 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters when residents need help on a Saturday. Turnover is genuinely better than average at 33.3%, so the people who stay tend to stay. The trouble is the inspection record. A one-star health inspection rating sits behind 39 deficiencies, including 8 tied to abuse and 2 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus a $26,397 fine. The most recent inspection was December 8, 2025. Good staffing numbers and a strong quality measure score don't offset that pattern, ask hard questions about supervision and how incidents get reported.

Crest View Care Center in Chadron runs a for-profit operation under an LLC, and its staffing numbers are the one clear bright spot: 3.96 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average. But look past that, and the inspection record is rough, 35 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Weekend staffing also drops about 8% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 48.5%, higher than the national 45.8%. An inspection date of December 2025 means the record is current, not stale. Strong floor staffing is real, but it's carrying a lot of weight here.

Continental Springs is a for-profit LLC home with 77 beds in South Sioux City, and its staffing sits at 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover runs 38.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters more than a single snapshot of hours. The health inspection side is the weak spot: a 2/5 star rating, 13 deficiencies on record including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Its last inspection was January 14, 2026. Quality measures land mid-range and staffing scores well on CMS's own scale, the inspection record is what pulls the overall picture down.

Colonial Manor Of Randolph runs 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the real problem: 23 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, and a one-star health inspection rating, though none of the citations rose to harm or jeopardy. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and the last inspection was December 10, 2025. Quality measures and staffing both score four stars, so the care processes look better on paper than the state surveyors found in practice.

Nye Legacy in Fremont runs a for-profit corporate operation with 100 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average of 3.86. That staffing cushion is real, though weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover lands at 47.1%, just slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in April 2025. Where the numbers get uneven is quality measures, which sit at 2 out of 5 stars even as inspections and staffing both hold at 4, worth asking about directly.

Adept Nursing & Rehab Of Central City runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes its size, 3.17 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 5% below its own weekday levels. The state's most recent inspection, in July 2025, left 19 deficiencies on the record, none rising to harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, though the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5. Staff turnover is 47.1%, slightly above the national figure, and the home is owned by a for-profit limited liability company. Its quality measure rating is a 4, which suggests the clinical outcomes tracked by CMS look better than the staffing and inspection numbers would predict on their own.

Old Mill Rehabilitation runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.85 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday pace, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The bigger concern is staff churn: 67.3% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because residents see a lot of new faces. Eighteen deficiencies sit on the current record, three tied to abuse and none at the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was April 2026, so the picture is recent. Ownership is a for-profit corporation, and the three-star ratings across health, quality, and staffing are consistent with what the numbers show.
