Parkview Haven is city-county owned, and the staffing numbers reflect that: 4.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, with turnover at 37% compared to 45.8% nationally. What keeps it out of the top tier is what inspectors found, nine deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2025. Weekend staffing also drops about 20% below its own weekday level, which matters if your family visits or needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. The care hours are there on paper; the survey history is the part worth asking about directly.

Stanton Health Center runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.66 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 18% below its own weekday numbers. That matters more than the four-star staffing rating suggests, because the same pattern shows up in turnover: 53.4% of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national figure. Inspections look better, with the most recent visit in July 2025 and a four-star health inspection rating, but the record still carries 16 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership is a genuine plus here, mission-driven operators tend to reinvest in direct care rather than chase margins.

Blue Valley Lutheran runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection record with ten deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, and a survey done as recently as July 2025. That part is genuinely reassuring. The trouble sits elsewhere: staffing earns just one star, and quality measures also come in at one star, meaning the day-to-day care experience doesn't track with how clean the inspection record looks. Staff turnover runs about 40 percent, better than the national average of roughly 46 percent, though still meaning a good share of caregivers leave each year. As a church-affiliated nonprofit with 64 beds, it isn't chasing margins, but low staffing and quality scores are worth asking about directly before you decide.

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.

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.

Mother Hull Home runs a nonprofit shop in Kearney with 58 beds, and the staffing hours are genuinely above average, 4.85 per resident day against a national 3.86. That cushion matters less when you see turnover at 97.2%, roughly double the national rate. Weekends also run about 16% leaner than weekdays, so the coverage isn't as steady as the yearly number suggests. The inspection record is the softer spot: 17 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, and a 2-star health inspection rating. None reached the harm or jeopardy level, and a February 2026 inspection is recent, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well at 4 stars.

Genoa Community Hospital's long-term care unit runs on a city-owned, 43-bed model, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday coverage, a gap families should ask about directly. What stands out in the other direction is turnover: 22.9% against a national average near 46%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in May 2025. Quality measure scores lag at 1 star while staffing holds at 4.

Eastmont runs 23 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its last inspection was recent, August 2025, so the record is current. That record shows 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The bigger issue is staffing: CMS gives it just 1 out of 5 stars, meaning nurse hours per resident fall well below what the government expects. Quality measures score better at 4 out of 5, so clinical outcomes look decent on paper despite thin coverage. With a small nonprofit home, low staffing often means fewer hands on deck, not necessarily worse care, but it's the number to press on when you visit.

Holdrege Memorial Homes runs 94 certified beds as a nonprofit, with total nurse staffing at 3.86 hours per resident day, essentially identical to the national average. Weekend staffing drops about 9% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The health inspection side is the weaker spot: a 2-out-of-5 rating, 13 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 tied to abuse. None of those rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality measures and staffing each came in at 3 out of 5. For a family weighing this one, the staffing and quality numbers hold steady, but the inspection history is what deserves a closer look.

Hillcrest runs on a corporate for-profit model with 151 certified beds, and its staffing is genuinely a bright spot, 4.59 nurse hours per resident day, about 19% above the national average, with turnover at 41.6% that's actually a touch better than the 45.8% norm. Weekends dip roughly 10% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. The trouble sits on the inspection side: 17 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, and a $51,150 fine. The last inspection was December 17, 2024, and the two-star health inspection and quality ratings reflect those findings rather than the staffing numbers.

Heritage of Webster County runs 43 beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, barely above the 3.86 national average, a difference of about 1%. The bigger issue is consistency: weekend staffing drops roughly 21% below weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 59.5% against a national 45.8%. On inspections, the record shows 20 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score well, but a one-star inspection rating and that much churn among caregivers are the numbers worth asking about directly.

Sarah Ann Hester Memorial Home runs 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national figure, and the weekend gap is modest at roughly 13% below its own weekdays. Turnover is the harder number: 54.2% of staff leave annually against a national 45.8%, which means new faces on the floor fairly often. The 17 deficiencies on record include none flagged at harm or jeopardy, though three are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection closed in April 2026. Quality measures sit at the low end even while staffing scores well, so the picture isn't uniform, good coverage, uneven clinical results, and a workforce that doesn't stay long.

Gateway Vista runs 80 certified beds in Lincoln under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers here are genuinely above average, about 4.69 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% more than the national figure. That matters, but it comes with a catch: weekend coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 64.3% against a national average of 45.8%. On the inspection side, the record shows nine deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $8,659. The last inspection was September 3, 2025. Good daily staffing, but a thin weekend margin and heavy churn mean care can depend on who's actually on the floor.

Nurse staffing at Hillcrest Shadow Lake runs about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 8% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 62.2% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning many of the aides and nurses you'd meet are relatively new. The current inspection record carries 34 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse; the last survey was April 22, 2025. Resident care measures look notably better than that, but the staffing and inspection sides of the federal data are where the concerns concentrate.

Community Pride Care Center runs on 2.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 42% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 19% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage is the main reason its staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, and turnover at 46.2% is right about at the national figure, so there's no stability advantage to offset it. The inspection record is cleaner: 9 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related, and the last inspection was December 31, 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, and as a city or county home, it answers to local government rather than a chain.

Arbor Care Center-Valhaven runs 66 beds in Valley under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers tell a mixed story. Nurses provide 3.33 hours per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 74.1% against a national 45.8%, which matters because residents see a rotating cast of caregivers. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. CMS gave it 3 of 5 stars for inspections, 2 for staffing, but 4 for quality measures. Inspectors last visited in August 2025.

Chi Health St. Francis runs 36 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its last inspection in March 2025 turned up seven deficiencies, none of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related. That's a reasonably clean record, and the four-star health inspection rating backs it up. Where this home struggles is staffing, which scored one star out of five, well below what you'd want to see. Quality measures sit in the middle at three. So you're looking at a small nonprofit that keeps its inspections in order but runs thin on direct care, worth asking about nurse-to-resident ratios on evenings and weekends before you decide.

Imperial Manor is city-and-county owned, which is unusual in a state where most homes are run by chains or nonprofits, and its staffing reflects that public backing: 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average. Weekends thin out by about 18% against its own weekday numbers, though, and turnover sits at 50%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, which matters more in a 58-bed building where you notice every new face. The current inspection record carries 23 deficiencies, none at the harm level, one tied to abuse, plus a single $7,903 fine. The last inspection was November 2025. Federal inspectors rated staffing 4 out of 5 and quality measures 3, but health inspections 2, that gap tells you the care numbers look better on paper than the surveyors found in practice.

Accura Healthcare of Neligh runs 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, which is slightly above the national average of 3.86, and turnover sits at 44.1%, marginally better than the 45.8% national figure. But the staffing star rating tells a different story: 1 out of 5. That gap comes from how thin weekends get, running about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was in March 2025. The quality measure rating is also 1 out of 5. A for-profit limited liability company operates the 70-bed home.

Mid-Nebraska Lutheran Home in Newman Grove is a 45-bed church-affiliated nonprofit, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.60 hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent above the national average. That number is the strongest thing the home has going for it, though weekend coverage dips about 8 percent below its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 42.2 percent, just under the national rate. The trouble is elsewhere: 23 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. One fine totaling $45,162 has been levied. CMS gives the home three stars for inspections but only one for quality measures and one for staffing.
