Douglas County Health Center runs on a county-owned model, and its staffing shows it: 4.78 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, with just 14.9% turnover against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels, but that's a modest gap compared with most homes. The tradeoff sits in its inspection record. Thirty-three deficiencies are on file, including four tied to abuse and one at the harm level, which pulled its health inspection rating down to 2 out of 5. Quality measures score 4 out of 5. The last survey was in May 2025, so the picture is current. Strong staffing, a shakier compliance history, that's the honest tension here.

St. Jane De Chantal runs on 7.36 nurse hours per resident day, nearly double the national average of 3.86, and that staffing depth shows up in a 5/5 CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 32.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care tend to stick around; weekend coverage dips only about 8% from weekday levels, a modest slide rather than a cliff. The trade-off is a 3/5 inspection rating with 11 deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was January 8, 2026. Quality measures score 4/5, and nonprofit ownership rounds out the picture.

Eventide Crete runs on 4.93 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 28% more than the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 38.6% against a national figure near 46%, both of which suggest a stable, well-covered floor. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, which is common but worth knowing if you're visiting or calling on Saturdays and Sundays. The home carries six deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a September 2025 inspection behind those findings. As a nonprofit with 38 beds, it's small enough that you can reasonably ask who actually owns the place and how long the director has been there.

Eventide Williamsburg runs a lean 50 beds under nonprofit ownership, and the care hours show it: 5.89 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only about 6% below weekdays, so families visiting on a Saturday aren't walking into a skeleton crew. The trade-off sits in retention, 54.2% annual turnover tops the 45.8% national average, meaning aides and nurses cycle through more often than elsewhere. Eight deficiencies appear on the current record with none at harm level, though two are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection closed in December 2025. Strong survey and quality scores, real staffing depth, and a workforce that churns faster than most.

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.

Carl T Curtis Health Education Center runs on a federal government license in Macy, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.15 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. That's the number driving its five-star staffing rating, and turnover of 32.4% is well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stick around. Weekends do run about 18% lighter than weekdays, so ask how that's covered. Inspectors logged 11 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but one tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 29, 2026, so the record is current.

Gordon Countryside Care runs on a government hospital district model, and the numbers show a facility that's been kept in decent shape. Nurse staffing sits at 4.30 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and the staff actually stay, 31.3% turnover against a national rate of 45.8%. Inspectors were last in on September 23, 2025, and the 12 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. The one soft spot: weekend staffing drops roughly 16% below what the home runs during the week, so coverage on Saturdays and Sundays isn't quite what families see Monday through Friday.

Wakefield Health Care Center is city-owned, and its 40 beds get 5.05 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the national average. Staff turnover sits at 33.3%, well below the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 7% from weekday levels. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 17 deficiencies, five tied to abuse, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in July 2025. A 4 out of 5 on health inspections and a 3 on quality measures round out a home that's better staffed than most, with a survey history worth asking about directly.

Dunklau Gardens runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.43 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the weekend dip is real but modest. The number that stands out most is turnover: 24.7% against a national average near 46%, which suggests people actually stay. Four deficiencies on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. Quality measures land in the middle of the pack while staffing sits at the top. Nonprofit ownership in Fremont, 106 beds. The weak spot is weekend coverage, not the care record.

Nurse staffing at Oglala Sioux Lakota Nursing Home runs 6.77 hours per resident day, roughly 75% above the national average of 3.86, a serious number that separates it from most homes. Staff turnover sits at 35.1%, below the national 45.8%, and the last inspection was recent, December 2025. The concerns are on the record: 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. State surveyors gave three stars for health inspections and three for quality measures, while staffing earned five. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekday levels, which matters when aides are already stretched. For families weighing hands-on care against regulatory history, the staffing numbers are the case for this place; the deficiency record is the caution.

Memorial Community Care runs on a nonprofit model with 48 certified beds in Aurora, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average, with a five-star CMS staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 28.3% against a national average of 45.8%, which matters more than any single inspection score, consistent caregivers know the residents. Weekend coverage dips about 16% below weekday levels, worth asking about directly. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent survey was in February 2026. Quality measures come in at three stars, softer than the staffing picture.

Mt Carmel Home in Kearney runs leaner on nursing hours than most places, 6.11 per resident day, roughly 58% above the national average, and that holds up across weekday and weekend shifts, though weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 41%, a bit better than the 45.8% typical nationally. The inspection record shows five deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, but one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. A January 2026 inspection means the picture is current. Nonprofit ownership and four stars each on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing round out a home that looks steady on paper, with a couple of specific questions worth raising in person.

Saunders Medical Center is county-owned, and that shows in the numbers. Nurse staffing runs 4.83 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86, and turnover sits at 39.7% against a national 45.8%, a fairly stable crew for this industry. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Five deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in April 2026, so the picture is recent. All three CMS ratings, health inspection, quality measures, staffing, come in at 4 out of 5.

Eventide Lincoln runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 5.11 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends thin out roughly 12% below weekday levels, so the weekday-to-Saturday gap is worth asking about. Turnover sits at 49.6%, a bit above the national 45.8%, which means a good share of the people providing that care are still new to the building. The 22 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged as harm or jeopardy and nothing abuse-related, and the last full inspection was in December 2024. Its health inspection rating is the weak spot even as quality and staffing measures score well.

Rose Blumkin Jewish Home runs on 4.91 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86, a real cushion, though weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Staff turnover sits at 38.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for residents who benefit from seeing familiar faces. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. As a nonprofit with 105 certified beds, this Omaha home pairs strong staffing with a clean harm-free survey history.

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.

Garden County Hospital & Nursing Home runs on a county-owned model with 24 certified beds in Oshkosh, and its staffing is the real bright spot: 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, with the federal staffing rating at the top of the scale. Turnover sits at 44%, basically in line with the national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The inspection record is where it gets shakier, 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. That combination is worth asking the administrator about directly before you decide.

Rock County Hospital Long Term Care runs a genuinely strong staffing operation, 6.14 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 59% more hands-on time. Weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about, but the baseline is high enough that even the lower weekend figure beats most homes. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 12 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the last survey in September 2025. County ownership tends to mean stable funding and no profit motive, but it doesn't erase those findings. The care hours are real; the inspection history is the part to press on.

Pioneer Manor runs on city government ownership in a small Sheridan County town, and the numbers mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.99 hours per resident day, a touch above the national average, and the weekend-to-weekday gap of roughly 15% is worth asking about directly, that's when families tend to notice less coverage. Staff turnover at 44.8% lands right around the national figure, so this isn't a home bleeding workers faster than everyone else. Nine deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm, none tied to abuse, with an inspection completed at the end of 2025. That single harm-level finding is the one item I'd want explained before deciding.
