Colonial Acres is city-owned, which is unusual in this part of Nebraska, and its staffing is the strongest card it holds, 4.35 nurse hours per resident day, comfortably above the national figure, with a four-star staffing rating to match. The catch is consistency: weekends run roughly 14% thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 53.3%, well past the national rate. Inspections are a softer spot, at two stars with 15 deficiencies on record, though none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse. The most recent visit was in March 2026, so the picture is current.

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 - Hastings Village is a 108-bed nonprofit in Adams County, and its numbers tell two different stories. Nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, a pattern worth asking about, since falls and infections don't take Saturdays off. Staff turnover, at 44.9%, is actually a hair better than the national rate.
The bigger concern is the inspection record: 21 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus two fines totaling $39,704. The most recent inspection was in March 2025, so the picture is current, not stale. Quality and staffing measures both rate well; the health inspection side is where this home keeps getting caught.

Beaver City Manor is a 30-bed city-owned home in Furnas County, and its strongest asset is people: 4.43 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average, with turnover at 29% against a national 45.8%. That staffing consistency matters more than any single number here, though weekend coverage dips roughly 14% below weekday levels. The trade-off sits in care quality measures, which scored 1 out of 5, and nine deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related. The last inspection was in June 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. Small, government-run, well-staffed, but with real quality-measure gaps worth asking about directly.

Hilltop Estates runs 4.11 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 6% above the national average, and that staffing shows up as its strongest CMS category. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 18% below the home's own weekday level, the stretch when families tend to visit and when problems often surface. Turnover sits at 46.4%, essentially matching the national rate, so continuity of caregivers isn't unusually bad or good here. Seven deficiencies on record, none causing harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2025. For-profit corporate ownership, 64 beds, middle-of-the-road marks on inspections and quality measures. Solid, not spotless.

Ridgewood runs a tight ship on the staffing side. Its 4.19 nurse hours per resident day sit about 9% above the national average, and an annual turnover rate of 31.3% is well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stick around. Weekend coverage dips roughly 18% from its weekday level, so that's worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies but none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last survey was in January 2025. Quality measure scores come in at 2 stars, lower than the staffing picture would suggest, so ask what's driving those numbers.

Community Memorial Health Center runs on a non-profit model in Burwell, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. Turnover sits at 24.3%, roughly half the national rate, which matters for consistency of care. Weekends run about 14% leaner than weekdays, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The weaker spot is inspections, a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 32 deficiencies on record, including two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the record is current.

Bethany Home runs on unusually strong staffing for a 64-bed nonprofit, 4.21 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and turnover at 40% sits below the 45.8% national figure. Weekends thin out roughly 13% against its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets managed. The inspection record is the harder part: 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse, and just a 2-star health inspection rating with a 1-star quality measure score. June 2025 was the last full look. The people providing care appear to be the strength here; the paper trail is what a family should press on.

The staffing numbers look good on paper, 4.77 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and the federal staffing rating backs that up. But 68.7% of staff turned over in a year against a national average near 46%, which means those hours are often delivered by people still learning the building, and weekend coverage drops about 11% below weekday levels. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies with two tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy, and the last state visit was April 2025. A for-profit LLC operation with that much churn is worth asking about directly.

Heartland Ridge runs lean on one thing and heavy on another. Nurse staffing sits at 5.12 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and weekends dip only slightly below weekdays, so coverage stays fairly steady. The catch is turnover: 77.6% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% norm, which means many of those hours come from people still learning the building. Inspections are the weak spot. Twenty-one deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the last survey was in May 2025. This for-profit LLC is recently inspected and adequately staffed on paper; whether that holds depends on who stays.

Wisner Care Center runs on city government ownership, which is uncommon and tends to mean stable local ties rather than corporate pressure. The numbers are solid but not spotless: 14 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 21% below weekdays, which is the kind of gap families notice on Saturdays. Staff turnover at 51.2% runs above the national 45.8%. A March 2025 inspection means the record is current, and the four-star marks across health, quality, and staffing hold up.

York General Hearthstone runs 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, and 43.8% of its staff left last year, a bit better than the typical 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 11% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. The three deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, and its last inspection was in March 2026. Ownership is nonprofit. Quality measures scored 3 out of 5, so clinical outcomes are middle of the road even though staffing and inspections look stronger.

Milford Meadows runs 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, about 14 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing star, which sits at the bottom of the scale, while the quality measure star sits at the top, a split worth noticing, since good clinical numbers can coexist with too few hands on a Saturday. Inspectors logged 18 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, and the last full inspection was February 2025. The corporate for-profit owner holds a two-star inspection record, so read the quality score alongside the staffing, not instead of it.

Hemingford Care Center has 39 certified beds and enough nursing hours per resident, 4.02, to sit slightly above the national average. The catch is who's there on weekends, when staffing drops about 12% below its own weekday level, and how long anyone stays: turnover runs 55.3% against a national 45.8%, so the hands at the bedside keep changing.
Its record carries 50 deficiencies, 8 of them abuse-related, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program. Inspectors were last out on February 2, 2026. Quality and staffing measures both score 4 out of 5, but the health inspection side tells a harder story.

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.

Colonial Haven runs on city government ownership in Beemer, and its last inspection came in April 2025 with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, a clean record on the serious stuff. Two of its ten deficiencies are abuse-related, though, which is worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, about 3% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't even across the week. The five-star inspection rating shows the survey history is strong; the three-star quality measure rating is middling. With 34 beds, it's small enough that you can ask specific questions about who's on duty Saturday and Sunday.

Life Care Center of Elkhorn runs 135 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.77 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters when residents need help on a Saturday. Turnover is genuinely better than average at 33.3%, so the people who stay tend to stay.
The trouble is the inspection record. A one-star health inspection rating sits behind 39 deficiencies, including 8 tied to abuse and 2 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus a $26,397 fine. The most recent inspection was December 8, 2025. Good staffing numbers and a strong quality measure score don't offset that pattern, ask hard questions about supervision and how incidents get reported.

Crest View Care Center in Chadron runs a for-profit operation under an LLC, and its staffing numbers are the one clear bright spot: 3.96 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average. But look past that, and the inspection record is rough, 35 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Weekend staffing also drops about 8% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 48.5%, higher than the national 45.8%. An inspection date of December 2025 means the record is current, not stale. Strong floor staffing is real, but it's carrying a lot of weight here.

Oakland Heights is city-owned, which is unusual, and it runs on 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average. Weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 46.8%, essentially the national rate, meaning you'll likely see new faces over a long stay. The inspection record is the strong part: three deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in June 2025. Quality measures are where it lags, scoring 2 of 5 stars, worth asking what specifically is dragging that down before you decide.

Eventide Prairie Commons runs a tight operation on nurse hours, 4.41 per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, but that staffing comes at a cost in continuity, with 67.4% annual turnover against a national figure near 46%. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $10,296 fine, all from a May 2025 survey that left the home with a single star for health inspections even as its quality measures score 4 out of 5. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below weekday levels, which matters most when something goes wrong on a Saturday.
