Staff turnover
40%
Serious cites
0

Bethany Home runs on unusually strong staffing for a 64-bed nonprofit, 4.21 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and turnover at 40% sits below the 45.8% national figure. Weekends thin out roughly 13% against its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets managed. The inspection record is the harder part: 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse, and just a 2-star health inspection rating with a 1-star quality measure score. June 2025 was the last full look. The people providing care appear to be the strength here; the paper trail is what a family should press on.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites

York General Hearthstone runs 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, and 43.8% of its staff left last year, a bit better than the typical 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 11% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. The three deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, and its last inspection was in March 2026. Ownership is nonprofit. Quality measures scored 3 out of 5, so clinical outcomes are middle of the road even though staffing and inspections look stronger.

Good Samaritan Society - Bloomfield

Staff turnover
57%
Serious cites
0

Good Samaritan Society - Bloomfield runs 70 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its clinical quality scores are genuinely strong, a five out of five on CMS quality measures. The staffing picture is thinner than that suggests. At 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 18 percent below its own weekday level, so coverage depends on when you visit. Turnover at 56.5 percent runs well above the 45.8 percent national figure. The current record carries 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. That July 2025 inspection is recent, and the two-star health inspection rating reflects it.

Staff turnover

Eventide Prairie Commons runs a tight operation on nurse hours, 4.41 per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, but that staffing comes at a cost in continuity, with 67.4% annual turnover against a national figure near 46%. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $10,296 fine, all from a May 2025 survey that left the home with a single star for health inspections even as its quality measures score 4 out of 5. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below weekday levels, which matters most when something goes wrong on a Saturday.

Good Samaritan Society - Syracuse

Syracuse, NE · Otoe County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Good Samaritan Society - Syracuse runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, at 3.34 hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86. Weekends dip further, roughly 17% below what the building staffs Monday through Friday, so a Saturday shift here looks noticeably different from a Tuesday. The tradeoff shows up in retention: turnover sits at 35.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. Nine deficiencies are on the record with none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the last inspection came in January 2025. This is a nonprofit home with a solid inspection history and steadier-than-average staff, working with fewer hands per resident than the typical facility.

Heritage Crossings

Geneva, NE · Fillmore County

Staff turnover
44%
Serious cites
0

Heritage Crossings runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.40 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in the federal stars, where it earns four out of five. Turnover sits at 43.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekends run about a fifth thinner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is the strongest part: a five-star rating, three deficiencies total, none causing harm and none related to abuse, with the most recent visit in April 2026. Quality measures come in at three stars, a middle-of-the-road mark that keeps this from being an unqualified yes.

Good Samaritan Society - Millard runs a nonprofit home with 106 certified beds in Omaha, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.10 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. That edge matters, though weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays, so care can feel different depending on when you visit. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey from November 2024. Staff turnover lands at 52.2%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which is worth asking about directly. The health inspection and staffing ratings both came in at 4 out of 5, with quality measures at 3.

Stanton Health Center

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 Nursing Home

Hebron, NE · Thayer County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
40%
Serious cites

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.

Good Samaritan Society - Colonial Villa runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.15 hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 16 percent below what the building staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 41.9 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the team is comparatively stable even if it's small. The inspection record is clean where it counts: nine deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey done in September 2025. A 53-bed nonprofit in rural Harlan County, this is a home whose care record looks solid; the question families should ask is whether the daily staffing floor holds up on Saturdays and Sundays.

Mother Hull Home

Kearney, NE · Buffalo County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
97%
Serious cites

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.

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.

Tiffany Square runs on better-than-average staffing overall, 4.34 nurse hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86, and its 32.3% turnover beats the 45.8% national rate, which matters for whether caregivers stick around long enough to know your mother's routines. Weekends dip about 16% below weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 18 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the quality measure rating sits at 1 out of 5, the weakest of its three CMS scores. A December 2025 inspection means the picture is recent. Nonprofit ownership is worth noting, but the numbers, not the label, tell you what to ask about.

Serious cites
0

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

Staff turnover
54%
Serious cites
0

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.

Good Samaritan Society - Atkinson

Atkinson, NE · Holt County

Staff turnover

Good Samaritan Society - Atkinson runs 61 beds as a nonprofit, and its clinical quality scores are genuinely strong, four out of five stars on CMS quality measures. The trouble sits elsewhere. Nurse staffing comes in around 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 68.3% a year against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new. Then there's the inspection record: 43 deficiencies, including 6 abuse-related and 2 at the harm or jeopardy level, with a $22,653 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2026. Good care metrics don't cancel out thin coverage and a heavy survey history.

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.

Good Samaritan Society - Auburn is a nonprofit home with 102 beds, and its staffing sits at 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends run about 15% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is 35.6%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the crew here is steadier than most. Nine deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated February 2026. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, the weakest of its three federal ratings.

Heritage Care Center runs about 2.70 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 30% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 22% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters more than the inspection record, which shows 11 deficiencies with none at the harm level and one abuse-related finding, last reviewed in June 2025. Turnover sits at 42.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, a small positive for a nonprofit-run home with 100 beds. Quality measures score well, but the staffing number is the one families should ask about directly, especially on weekends.

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.
