Good Samaritan Society - Syracuse

Syracuse, NE · Otoe County

Nurse hours
3.34 /day
Staff turnover
36%
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.

Staff turnover

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.

Colonial Manor Of Randolph runs 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the real problem: 23 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, and a one-star health inspection rating, though none of the citations rose to harm or jeopardy. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and the last inspection was December 10, 2025. Quality measures and staffing both score four stars, so the care processes look better on paper than the state surveyors found in practice.

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.

Adept Nursing & Rehab Of Central City runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes its size, 3.17 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 5% below its own weekday levels. The state's most recent inspection, in July 2025, left 19 deficiencies on the record, none rising to harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, though the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5. Staff turnover is 47.1%, slightly above the national figure, and the home is owned by a for-profit limited liability company. Its quality measure rating is a 4, which suggests the clinical outcomes tracked by CMS look better than the staffing and inspection numbers would predict on their own.

Old Mill Rehabilitation runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.85 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday pace, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The bigger concern is staff churn: 67.3% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because residents see a lot of new faces. Eighteen deficiencies sit on the current record, three tied to abuse and none at the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was April 2026, so the picture is recent. Ownership is a for-profit corporation, and the three-star ratings across health, quality, and staffing are consistent with what the numbers show.

Litzenberg Memorial County Hospital

Central City, NE · Merrick County

CMS 4/546 bedsGovernmentMedicaid
Nurse hours
3.49 /day
Staff turnover
30%
Serious cites
0

Litzenberg Memorial is county-owned, which tends to mean stability and a local board that answers to voters rather than shareholders. The inspection record backs that up: seven deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, and a survey completed just this September. Staffing is where it gets uneven. At 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about ten percent under the national average, and weekends dip another ten percent below the home's own weekday levels, so a Saturday shift is the thinnest coverage you'll find here. The saving grace is retention: 30 percent turnover against a 45.8 percent national average means the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay, which matters more than raw hours when your parent needs someone who knows their routine.

Wilber Care Center is city/county-owned and staffs 4.26 nursing hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, which is a real strength. But that number hides two problems: weekend coverage drops roughly 18% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 67.4% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care change often. The 12 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was January 2025. Quality measures score well; inspections do not.

St. Joseph Villa runs 184 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits essentially at the national average, 3.86 nurse hours per resident day, with weekends about 5% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the bright spot: 35.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers cycling out the door than is typical. The inspection record is where it gets harder to defend. Thirty-three deficiencies on the current record, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was January 8, 2026, so the findings are recent, not stale. One fine totaling $12,048 has been levied. Stable staff matters, but a harm-level citation and abuse-related deficiencies are the kind of thing families should ask about directly before moving anyone in.

Accura Healthcare Of Fullerton runs 75 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the main story here: 2.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 10 percent thinner than weekdays. That earned a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating from CMS. Staff turnover sits at 41.9 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8 percent, which suggests some stability even with lean coverage. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in April 2026.

Life Care Center of Omaha runs 128 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing numbers look decent at first glance, 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average. But weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover sits at 50.9%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 44 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with a $31,079 fine and a September 2025 inspection. CMS gives it one star for health inspections, and the quality measure score of four stars doesn't offset that.

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.

Beatrice Health and Rehabilitation runs 87 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record looks solid, a 4-star health inspection rating, a 4-star quality measure rating, and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. The catch is staffing, which earns just 2 stars. At 3.80 nurse hours per resident day, this home sits slightly under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday levels, so care can thin out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 43.5% is a touch better than the national average, which suggests some stability. The last inspection was April 2025.

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.

The Cypress At Midtown runs 61 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its strongest number is nurse staffing: 4.76 hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average. That's real coverage on paper, though weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday levels, so care isn't perfectly even across the week. The concerning figure is turnover, 58.5% annually against a national rate near 46%. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm level, one tied to abuse. The last inspection was April 2026, so the picture is recent. Quality measures score 2 of 5 stars, and that's where the gap shows: adequate hands on deck, but consistency and outcomes lag.

Adept Nursing & Rehab Of South Sioux City runs on a for-profit LLC structure and sits in Dakota County, Nebraska with 72 certified beds. The staffing numbers are the bright spot: 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20 percent above the national average, with weekend coverage dropping about 15 percent below weekday levels. Turnover lands at 39.2 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure. What pulls the record down is the inspection history, 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $33,784 fine. The most recent inspection was August 2025. CMS gives the home 2 out of 5 stars for health inspections and 1 out of 5 for quality measures, even as staffing earns 4 out of 5.

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.

Mitchell Care Center runs on thin margins, and the numbers show it. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average, but the real gap is weekends, coverage drops about 18% below what the home staffs on weekdays, which is when falls and infections tend to happen. Turnover runs 47.5%, higher than the national rate, and the current record carries 19 deficiencies, including five tied to abuse. None rose to the harm level, and the most recent inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. City- or county-run ownership can mean steadier funding, but it doesn't change what the staffing pattern and survey history already tell you.
