Plainview Manor runs 39 beds under city government ownership, and the numbers split in two directions. The health inspection side is decent, three stars, with 15 deficiencies on record but none rising to actual harm or jeopardy, and a recent survey from August 2025. Where it struggles is everything measured outside the survey visit: one star for staffing and one star for quality measures. Those two ratings look at day-to-day nurse coverage and how residents are actually faring on clinical measures, and both land well below what you'd want to see. Four abuse-related deficiencies also appear on the current record, which is worth asking about directly. City-owned homes like this one often sit in small towns with limited labor pools, which can explain thin staffing, but it doesn't make the shortfall less real. Ask what direct-care hours look like on evenings and weekends.

Callaway Good Life Center runs 38 beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits slightly above the national average, about 2% higher per resident day. That sounds fine until you look at weekends, which run roughly 14% thinner than weekdays. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 28 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $34,608. Its last inspection was April 2026. The quality measure rating lands at 3 out of 5, staffing 3 out of 5, and health inspection 1 out of 5, that last number is the one worth asking the administrator about directly before you decide anything.

Pole Creek Estates runs 63 certified beds in Sidney under nonprofit ownership, and its 2.86 nurse hours per resident day sit about 26% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 56.5% against a national 45.8%, that combination is where the C comes from, even though CMS gives staffing 4 of 5 stars. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the last survey was July 17, 2025.

Accura Healthcare of Pierce runs 75 certified beds in Pierce County, Nebraska, under corporate for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 2.82 hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10% below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 61.8% a year, well above the 45.8% national figure. That thin staffing is the central fact here, and it explains why the staffing rating lands at 1/5 even while inspection and quality measure ratings each hit 4/5. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies with no harm-level findings, one abuse-related entry, and a recent April 2026 inspection. Strong survey results carry weight, but they don't offset a workforce that loses most of its people annually.

Arbor Care Centers-Countryside is city-owned, with 70 certified beds in Madison. Its last inspection wrapped in December 2025, and what inspectors have on record is heavy: 31 deficiencies, including four tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in harm's way. Staffing is where the trouble really shows, the federal staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, and turnover runs about 64 percent a year against a national average near 46 percent, meaning most of the people caring for your family member this year likely won't be there next year. Resident outcome measures look strong on paper, but thin, constantly changing staffing is what tends to wear those numbers down.

Westfield Quality Care of Aurora is a 64-bed for-profit home in Hamilton County, and its record shows real strain on the care side. The most recent inspection, in April 2025, turned up 22 deficiencies, including one involving actual harm or jeopardy to a resident and two tied to abuse, and there's a $41,980 fine on the books. Staffing sits well below the national average, and the inspection history isn't clean either. The quality measures come in around average, which suggests some of the day-to-day clinical care is being tracked and met. But when you're weighing a move here, the abuse findings and the harm-level citation are the things to ask about directly, in person, before deciding.

Ponderosa Villa runs on 2.90 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The city-owned home carries 13 deficiencies on its current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and it was inspected January 14, 2026. Its quality measure rating sits at 2 out of 5 and staffing at 1 out of 5, which tells you the shortfall is consistent, not a one-time dip. A 35-bed home can be worth a look for its size and local ownership, but ask directly how weekends are covered before deciding.

Accura Healthcare of Kenesaw runs 76 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.86 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover lands at 47.8%, a couple points above the national rate. The inspection record is the harder part: 29 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $65,129. A recent August 2025 inspection keeps that record current rather than historical. Quality measures score well, but low staffing and a serious deficiency history are what family members should weigh when deciding.

Christian Homes in Holdrege runs 86 beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday coverage, which matters when residents need help on a Saturday. Annual turnover is 58.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so aides and nurses are cycling through faster than average. The inspection record carries 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but three tied to abuse, and the last survey was March 2026. CMS rates its health inspection, quality measures, and staffing each at 2, 1, and 2 stars out of five. Nothing here is dangerous, but the pattern is thin coverage and high churn.

Chimney Rock Villa is city-owned and holds 49 beds, and its staffing looks decent on paper, 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. The problems sit elsewhere. Inspectors have cited 30 deficiencies, four of them at the level where residents were harmed or put in jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding, and the health inspection rating is 1 out of 5. Annual turnover runs 50%, above the national 45.8%, and weekends are staffed about 6% leaner than weekdays. Two fines total $110,988, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. Ask about the harm-level citations and what changed since.

Park View Haven runs about 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday numbers. That's the good news. The trouble sits elsewhere: staff turnover is 72.2% against a 45.8% national average, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. Its current record carries 13 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three abuse-related, plus a $34,512 fine. The last inspection was April 2026, so the picture is recent. A 34-bed nonprofit in rural Cedar County can be a genuinely good fit for the right family, but ask hard questions about who's actually on shift, especially weekends.

Jefferson Community Health & Life Gardenside is a 39-bed nonprofit in Fairbury, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating, with five deficiencies on file and none rising to actual harm or jeopardy. The staffing number is where it falls apart. At 0.14 nurse hours per resident per day, this home reports roughly 96 percent less nursing time than the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about a third thinner than its own weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 53.3 percent against a national 45.8. Two of those five deficiencies are abuse-related, which matters more at a home this small. A clean inspection and almost no reported nursing hours can both be true at once, ask which one reflects daily life there.

Northfield Retirement Communities Care Center runs 66 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its overall nurse staffing of 3.88 hours per resident day sits roughly 1% above the national average of 3.86. That headline number looks fine until you notice weekends run about 16% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 65.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building. The current record carries 28 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, with the last inspection in May 2025. CMS gives the home one star each for health inspections and staffing, two for quality measures.

Wauneta Care and Therapy Center runs on 3.11 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 59.5% against a national 45.8%, which means a good share of the people caring for residents are still learning the building, and the staffing star rating of 1 out of 5 reflects that. The current record shows 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. Quality measures score 1 out of 5. Its most recent inspection was May 2025.

Nye Pointe runs 43 beds in Fremont under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is where the trouble shows. Nurses give about 3.71 hours per resident per day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday hours, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 64.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative this year likely won't be there next year. The recent inspection record is genuinely clean: seven deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, and the last survey was August 2025. But federal quality measures score 1 out of 5, which sits oddly beside that inspection result.

Arbor Care Centers in Ord runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.28 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday levels, and more than half the nursing staff turns over each year, which is higher than the 45.8% national rate. On its last inspection in November 2025, the home logged 25 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Federal reviewers give it one star each for health inspections and quality measures, and two for staffing. That combination is what sits behind the grade, a limited liability company operating a 60-bed home with persistent shortfalls across the measures CMS tracks.

Hillcrest Millard runs on thin staffing. At 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover tells the other half of the story: 77.2% of staff leave within a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, which makes consistent care hard to sustain. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. The last inspection was February 24, 2026.

Gold Crest is a 52-bed nonprofit home in Adams that does two things well and one thing badly. Its last inspection, in March 2025, produced a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating and 12 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Quality measures also score 4 out of 5. The problem is staffing: 0.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 83 percent below the national average of 3.86, which is why the staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5. Annual turnover of 66.7 percent is well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so even that thin coverage keeps changing faces.

Crowell Memorial Home runs a nonprofit operation with 74 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.11 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. That's the strongest number here, though weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. The harder facts are elsewhere. Staff turnover hit 90.5% over the past year, about double the national rate of 45.8%, meaning the people providing that care are largely new and constantly changing. The current inspection record carries 30 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse. State inspectors were last on site in June 2025, and the health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 reflects what they found.

Kimball County Manor runs on county government ownership, and its 49 beds are staffed at 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 17% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 57.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is the harder read: 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $27,606 fine. Health inspection and quality measure ratings both sit at 1 out of 5, though staffing scored 3. The most recent inspection was April 21, 2025.
