Alpine Village runs on city government ownership in Verdigre, and the numbers show a home that's been kept in decent shape. Nurse staffing sits at 4.01 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 14% below what the home staffs during the week, worth asking about if your family member needs more attention on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 44.4%, essentially in line with the national rate rather than worse. Five deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2025. That combination, solid staffing, no serious citations, a recent look from the state, is what's driving the grade here.

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 - 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.
