Heritage Of Bel Air

Norfolk, NE · Madison County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
36%

Heritage of Bel Air runs a nonprofit shop with 112 certified beds in Norfolk, and the numbers underneath its grade tell a mixed but mostly reassuring story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.94 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and the 35.8% turnover rate is meaningfully better than the typical 45.8%, people tend to stay here. Inspections are another matter: 11 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. The most recent inspection was July 31, 2025. Quality measures score well, but weekend staffing drops about 15% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays.

Community Pride Care Center

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
46%

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.

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.

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.

St. Joseph's Rehabilitation And Care Center

Norfolk, NE · Madison County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
65%
Serious cites

St. Joseph's runs on 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers that matter: 65% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, plus 30 deficiencies on the current record, two of them abuse-related. The last inspection was March 2026, so the record is recent rather than stale. A for-profit limited liability company owns the 83-bed home, and its one-star health inspection rating sits alongside two-star marks for staffing and quality measures. No deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level, which is worth noting, but the pattern of low staffing and high turnover is the thing to ask about directly.
