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.

Plainview Manor runs 39 beds under city government ownership, and the numbers split in two directions. The health inspection side is decent, three stars, with 15 deficiencies on record but none rising to actual harm or jeopardy, and a recent survey from August 2025. Where it struggles is everything measured outside the survey visit: one star for staffing and one star for quality measures. Those two ratings look at day-to-day nurse coverage and how residents are actually faring on clinical measures, and both land well below what you'd want to see. Four abuse-related deficiencies also appear on the current record, which is worth asking about directly. City-owned homes like this one often sit in small towns with limited labor pools, which can explain thin staffing, but it doesn't make the shortfall less real. Ask what direct-care hours look like on evenings and weekends.

Callaway Good Life Center runs 38 beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits slightly above the national average, about 2% higher per resident day. That sounds fine until you look at weekends, which run roughly 14% thinner than weekdays. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 28 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $34,608. Its last inspection was April 2026. The quality measure rating lands at 3 out of 5, staffing 3 out of 5, and health inspection 1 out of 5, that last number is the one worth asking the administrator about directly before you decide anything.

St. Joseph's Villa runs a nonprofit shop in David City with 58 beds, and the numbers show a home that's getting by rather than standing out. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday coverage, a gap families often feel on Saturday and Sunday. Staff turnover of 52.9% runs well above the national 45.8%, which matters because familiar faces are hard to keep when half the team leaves each year. Fourteen deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with a $27,115 fine attached. The most recent inspection was in August 2025.

Pole Creek Estates runs 63 certified beds in Sidney under nonprofit ownership, and its 2.86 nurse hours per resident day sit about 26% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 56.5% against a national 45.8%, that combination is where the C comes from, even though CMS gives staffing 4 of 5 stars. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the last survey was July 17, 2025.

Wayne Countryview runs 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops about 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 55.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was January 28, 2026. CMS rates quality measures 2 out of 5 and staffing 2 out of 5, with inspections at 3. This for-profit LLC home holds a valid license and no serious safety findings, but the staffing consistency and retention numbers are the real story.

Accura Healthcare of Pierce runs 75 certified beds in Pierce County, Nebraska, under corporate for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 2.82 hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10% below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 61.8% a year, well above the 45.8% national figure. That thin staffing is the central fact here, and it explains why the staffing rating lands at 1/5 even while inspection and quality measure ratings each hit 4/5. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies with no harm-level findings, one abuse-related entry, and a recent April 2026 inspection. Strong survey results carry weight, but they don't offset a workforce that loses most of its people annually.

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.

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.

Falls City Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 63 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12 percent under the national average, weekends dip roughly another 10 percent below its own weekday level, and 60 percent of staff turned over in a year against a national 45.8 percent. That combination earned it a 1 out of 5 on CMS staffing, and it shows up in the care record too: seven deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was July 31, 2025, so the picture is current.

Adept Nursing & Rehab Of Ashland runs 97 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.25 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average of 3.86. That's the good news, and it's real. But weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover sits at 64.7% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people providing that care change over constantly. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy. CMS rates quality measures just 1 out of 5 stars. The most recent inspection was July 22, 2025. Combine thin weekend coverage, heavy turnover, and three harm-level findings, and the picture is a home with adequate weekday hours but shaky follow-through.

Westfield Quality Care of Aurora is a 64-bed for-profit home in Hamilton County, and its record shows real strain on the care side. The most recent inspection, in April 2025, turned up 22 deficiencies, including one involving actual harm or jeopardy to a resident and two tied to abuse, and there's a $41,980 fine on the books. Staffing sits well below the national average, and the inspection history isn't clean either. The quality measures come in around average, which suggests some of the day-to-day clinical care is being tracked and met. But when you're weighing a move here, the abuse findings and the harm-level citation are the things to ask about directly, in person, before deciding.

Good Samaritan Society - St John's runs 56 certified beds in Kearney under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 3.40 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 18% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 51.1% runs above the 45.8% national figure, which means many of the people providing that care are still new to the building. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two related to abuse, with the most recent survey dated April 2026.

Ponderosa Villa runs on 2.90 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The city-owned home carries 13 deficiencies on its current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and it was inspected January 14, 2026. Its quality measure rating sits at 2 out of 5 and staffing at 1 out of 5, which tells you the shortfall is consistent, not a one-time dip. A 35-bed home can be worth a look for its size and local ownership, but ask directly how weekends are covered before deciding.

Falls City Care Center runs on 2.36 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 39 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 6 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at 1 out of 5. Turnover is the one bright spot: 36.4 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The 12 deficiencies on record carry no harm or abuse findings, and the most recent inspection was June 2025, so oversight is current. Ownership is a for-profit corporation. The practical question for a family is whether that staffing level matches the care your relative needs day to day.

Accura Healthcare of Kenesaw runs 76 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.86 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover lands at 47.8%, a couple points above the national rate. The inspection record is the harder part: 29 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $65,129. A recent August 2025 inspection keeps that record current rather than historical. Quality measures score well, but low staffing and a serious deficiency history are what family members should weigh when deciding.

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.

Chimney Rock Villa is city-owned and holds 49 beds, and its staffing looks decent on paper, 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. The problems sit elsewhere. Inspectors have cited 30 deficiencies, four of them at the level where residents were harmed or put in jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding, and the health inspection rating is 1 out of 5. Annual turnover runs 50%, above the national 45.8%, and weekends are staffed about 6% leaner than weekdays. Two fines total $110,988, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. Ask about the harm-level citations and what changed since.

Park View Haven runs about 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday numbers. That's the good news. The trouble sits elsewhere: staff turnover is 72.2% against a 45.8% national average, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. Its current record carries 13 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three abuse-related, plus a $34,512 fine. The last inspection was April 2026, so the picture is recent. A 34-bed nonprofit in rural Cedar County can be a genuinely good fit for the right family, but ask hard questions about who's actually on shift, especially weekends.

Emerald Nursing & Rehab Cozad runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.50 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday level, so the hours when families visit are often the leanest. Annual turnover of 65.3% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because aides who know residents are the ones who notice changes first. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. The for-profit LLC structure and a one-star CMS staffing rating point to the same underlying issue: enough bodies to pass, not enough consistency to feel settled.
