Bertrand Nursing Home is a 26-bed city-owned home in Phelps County, and the numbers behind its A grade are steady rather than spectacular. Nurse staffing runs 3.91 hours per resident day, just barely above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%.
What stands out is the inspection record: three deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on May 1, 2025. A 5/5 health inspection rating and 5/5 quality measure rating support that. For a small rural home, this reads as consistent, well-monitored care without serious red flags.

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.

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.
