The nurse staffing here works out to 3.88 hours per resident per day, essentially even with the national average of 3.86, so this isn't a place padding its numbers with aides. Weekends run about 17 percent lighter than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is retention: 28.6 percent turnover against a national average near 46 percent, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, but none involved harm or jeopardy and none were abuse-related, and the last inspection was in January 2025.

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.

Brookestone View runs on 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 29.8% against a national 45.8%, that retention is doing real work here. The trade-off is weekends: staffing drops about 12% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly level across the week. Inspections show 11 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent visit was June 2026. All three CMS star ratings land at 4 out of 5. For a 60-bed nonprofit in Custer County, the numbers point to steady nursing presence and stable leadership rather than anything flashy.

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.

Linden Court runs a nonprofit shop with 135 beds, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.90 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That's a thin margin. Weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday coverage, so the hours aren't distributed evenly across the week. Turnover comes in at 39%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is the weaker side: 17 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $14,017 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2026.

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.

Good Samaritan Society - Albion runs on 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 18% below what the home staffs Monday through Friday. That gap matters more than the weekday number, since falls and infections don't schedule themselves around a lighter weekend roster. Turnover sits at 40.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record is clean where it counts: four deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A 5/5 inspection rating and a May 2026 survey mean the state found this place in good shape. The tradeoff is thin daily coverage, especially on weekends.

South Haven Living Center runs on better-than-average nurse coverage, 3.95 hours per resident day against a national figure near 3.86, and its staff stick around at a rate most homes would envy, with turnover at 32.2% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekend hours drop roughly 15% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday afternoon. The inspection record is clean where it matters most: six deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent survey came in July 2025. Quality measure scores sit lower than the staffing and inspection marks, which is the tension worth asking about when you visit.

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.

Cloverlodge Care Center in St Edward runs a tight ship on inspections, four stars, nine deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a survey as recent as April 2025. The staffing picture is more mixed: 3.29 nurse hours per resident day sits about 15% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask who's on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is retention, 23.3% turnover against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stay, which matters more for daily care than a single number suggests. Nonprofit ownership, 47 beds.

Good Samaritan Society - Beatrice runs an 80-bed nonprofit home where the staff tends to stay. Annual turnover of 16.1% is roughly a third of the national average, which matters more than any single inspection result, it means the people caring for residents know the building and know them. Nurse staffing sits just under the national average at 3.74 hours per resident day, and weekends run about 13% leaner than weekdays, so afternoons and Saturdays are the thinner stretches to ask about. The record shows 14 deficiencies with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in January 2026, so the picture is current. Solid nursing hours, low turnover, no serious findings.

Colonial Acres is city-owned, which is unusual in this part of Nebraska, and its staffing is the strongest card it holds, 4.35 nurse hours per resident day, comfortably above the national figure, with a four-star staffing rating to match. The catch is consistency: weekends run roughly 14% thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 53.3%, well past the national rate. Inspections are a softer spot, at two stars with 15 deficiencies on record, though none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse. The most recent visit was in March 2026, so the picture is current.

Avera Creighton Care Centre is a 47-bed nonprofit home in Knox County, and its inspection record is the strongest thing it has going: a four-star health inspection rating, a recent survey in December 2025, and eleven deficiencies on file with none rising to harm or jeopardy. The staffing picture is where it gets shaky, CMS gives it one star for staffing, and annual turnover runs at 55.1 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning more than half the caregiver workforce turns over each year. Two of those deficiencies are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Quality measures hold at four stars, so the care itself scores reasonably well when it happens.

Good Samaritan Society - Hastings Village is a 108-bed nonprofit in Adams County, and its numbers tell two different stories. Nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, a pattern worth asking about, since falls and infections don't take Saturdays off. Staff turnover, at 44.9%, is actually a hair better than the national rate. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 21 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus two fines totaling $39,704. The most recent inspection was in March 2025, so the picture is current, not stale. Quality and staffing measures both rate well; the health inspection side is where this home keeps getting caught.

Ridgewood runs a tight ship on the staffing side. Its 4.19 nurse hours per resident day sit about 9% above the national average, and an annual turnover rate of 31.3% is well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stick around. Weekend coverage dips roughly 18% from its weekday level, so that's worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies but none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last survey was in January 2025. Quality measure scores come in at 2 stars, lower than the staffing picture would suggest, so ask what's driving those numbers.

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.

Colonial Haven runs on city government ownership in Beemer, and its last inspection came in April 2025 with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, a clean record on the serious stuff. Two of its ten deficiencies are abuse-related, though, which is worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, about 3% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't even across the week. The five-star inspection rating shows the survey history is strong; the three-star quality measure rating is middling. With 34 beds, it's small enough that you can ask specific questions about who's on duty Saturday and Sunday.

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.
