All 21 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Omaha,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Newport House runs 5.07 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more hands-on care than the national average, and its weekend hours dip only about 11% below weekday levels, smaller than what many homes see. Staff turnover sits at 32.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The inspection record shows nine deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the last survey was recent, in January 2026. Quality and staffing both score at the top of CMS's five-star scale while inspections land at three, which fits a nonprofit home that invests heavily in daily care.
Brookestone Village runs on about 4.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 33.7 percent against a national 45.8, both signs of a home that can hold onto people. Weekend coverage dips about 11 percent below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Nine deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level, one tied to abuse; the last inspection was February 2026. As a nonprofit with 140 beds, the numbers point to steady care rather than crisis.
Douglas County Health Center runs on a county-owned model, and its staffing shows it: 4.78 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, with just 14.9% turnover against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels, but that's a modest gap compared with most homes. The tradeoff sits in its inspection record. Thirty-three deficiencies are on file, including four tied to abuse and one at the harm level, which pulled its health inspection rating down to 2 out of 5. Quality measures score 4 out of 5. The last survey was in May 2025, so the picture is current. Strong staffing, a shakier compliance history, that's the honest tension here.
The Lighthouse at Lakeside Village runs 5.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 38% above the national average, and weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday levels, still well above average, but not the same coverage you'd see Monday through Friday. Staff turnover sits at 47.4%, a touch above the national 45.8%, so continuity of caregivers is a fair question to ask. The record shows 13 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. State inspectors were last in on March 12, 2025, so the picture is current.
Rose Blumkin Jewish Home runs on 4.91 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86, a real cushion, though weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Staff turnover sits at 38.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for residents who benefit from seeing familiar faces. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. As a nonprofit with 105 certified beds, this Omaha home pairs strong staffing with a clean harm-free survey history.
Florence Home runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.41 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in its five-star CMS rating for it. Turnover sits at 42.4%, slightly better than the typical 45.8%, though weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, which families often feel on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy, but two are abuse-related, so ask directly how those were resolved. State inspectors were last in on November 17, 2025. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders. Quality measures rate four stars; health inspections, three.
Quality Living runs about 8.63 nursing hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, and that staffing depth shows up in a 4-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips roughly 15% below the weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The 41.8% turnover is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was March 3, 2025. Nonprofit ownership, a 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating, and a 3-out-of-5 inspection rating round out the picture: strong staffing, average compliance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Keystone Ridge runs on thinner staffing than most homes, 3.47 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels. That gap matters more when you consider turnover: 64.4% of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people covering those short weekend shifts are often new. Inspectors have cited 26 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a $70,103 fine on record and a May 2025 inspection. Corporate-owned and for-profit, it holds a single health inspection star but five stars on quality measures, a split worth asking about directly.
Omaha Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 70-bed for-profit in Douglas County, and its inspection record is the thing to look at first. Forty-nine deficiencies on the current record, seven of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse, that's a lot of citations for a building this size, and one $39,146 fine. The most recent inspection was July 31, 2025, so the record is current, not stale.
Daily nurse staffing sits at 3.77 hours per resident, a bit under the national average, with weekends running about 8% thinner than weekdays. Combined with a one-star inspection rating, that pattern matters more than the three-star quality measure score.
Emerald Nursing & Rehab in Omaha runs on thinner staffing than most homes, at 3.43 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends drop further, about 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is stretched exactly when families tend to visit. The 60.3% turnover rate matters too, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for your relative are frequently new. Its inspection record shows 53 deficiencies, including 9 abuse-related and 3 at the harm level, with $87,389 in fines. The most recent inspection was January 2026, so that record is current, not old.
Hillcrest Millard runs on thin staffing. At 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover tells the other half of the story: 77.2% of staff leave within a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, which makes consistent care hard to sustain. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. The last inspection was February 24, 2026.
The Banyan At Montclair holds 175 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing runs about 8% above the national average, 4.16 nurse hours per resident day. But that number hides a churn problem: 62.8% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops roughly 7% below weekday levels. The inspection record is the harder read. Sixty-one deficiencies on file, four at harm or jeopardy level, five tied to abuse, plus three CMS fines totaling $141,793. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. A recent December 2025 inspection doesn't reset any of that.
Emerald Nursing & Rehab Legacy Pointe runs 108 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 53.3% against a national 45.8%, which means more than half the staff left within a year. The home carries 29 deficiencies on its current record, including one abuse-related citation, none at the harm level, plus eight fines totaling $56,445. A July 2025 inspection is recent, and the quality measure rating of 3/5 suggests clinical outcomes are middling, not alarming.
