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.

Brookestone Meadows runs on a nonprofit model in Elkhorn with 140 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.66 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, which is worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. Annual turnover sits at 31.9% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Three deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with an inspection as recent as April 2025.

Brookestone Gardens runs on 4.79 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home, and that shows up in a 5/5 staffing rating and a 5/5 quality measure rating. Turnover sits at 35.2%, well under the national 45.8%, though weekends dip about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage. The record isn't spotless: nine deficiencies, one tied to abuse, but none rose to harm or jeopardy, and state inspectors were last in the building in December 2025. As a nonprofit with 54 beds, it's small enough to know its residents, the 3/5 inspection rating is the one number keeping this from looking like a clean sweep.

Brookestone Of David City runs on a nonprofit model with 86 certified beds, and the staffing numbers back it up: 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average. Weekend coverage does dip about 15% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 30.6%, well under the national 45.8%, people tend to stay. The home's inspection record is clean where it counts, with six deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection came in February 2025. Quality measures land at 4 out of 5 stars, a small step below its staffing and inspection marks.

Southlake Village runs a nonprofit shop in Lincoln with 126 beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 4.72 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday level, which is common but still worth asking about if your family visits on a Saturday or Sunday. Turnover sits at 34% against a national 45.8%, so the crew here sticks around more than most. Six deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a state inspection completed in November 2025.

Brookestone Of Papillion runs a tight ship on the numbers that matter most. Nurse staffing sits at 4.18 hours per resident day, roughly 8 percent above the national average, though weekends drop about 13 percent below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mostly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is the standout: 28.7 percent against a national average near 46 percent, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Seven deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a clean inspection as recently as February 2025. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders.

Highland Park Care Center runs 4.79 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover of 15.5% against a national figure near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 16% below weekday levels, which is common but still worth asking about, since that's when families often visit and when problems can surface. The home's nine deficiencies include one abuse-related finding, though none rose to the level of harm or immediate jeopardy, and its last inspection was in August 2025. As a nonprofit with 60 beds, it's small enough that you can reasonably expect to know the administrator by name.

Manor At Elfindale runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.43 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 34.9% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekends get thinner, though, dropping about 16% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The home carries 10 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level, one tied to abuse; that last one deserves a direct question about what happened and what changed. A November 2025 inspection means the picture is recent.

Sumner Place runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.14 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the weekend dip is mild, roughly 10% below its own weekdays. Staff stick around, too: 27.8% annual turnover is well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters more than any single inspection. The current record shows six deficiencies, none causing harm and none tied to abuse, and the last state visit was in May 2025. This is a nonprofit corporation with 104 beds, a four-star inspection history, and no red flags in the numbers.

That said, weekend coverage drops about 14% below the home's own weekday level, something worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays.

Heritage of Bel Air runs a nonprofit shop with 112 certified beds in Norfolk, and the numbers underneath its grade tell a mixed but mostly reassuring story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.94 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and the 35.8% turnover rate is meaningfully better than the typical 45.8%, people tend to stay here. Inspections are another matter: 11 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. The most recent inspection was July 31, 2025. Quality measures score well, but weekend staffing drops about 15% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays.

Brookefield Park runs on a non-profit model with 70 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the real story here. At 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% above the national average of 3.86, and the 22.9% turnover rate is roughly half the national figure of 45.8%, which suggests people actually stay. Weekend coverage dips about 19% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Ten deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2026. Star ratings land at 3 for health inspections, 3 for quality measures, and 5 for staffing.

Brookestone View runs on 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 29.8% against a national 45.8%, that retention is doing real work here. The trade-off is weekends: staffing drops about 12% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly level across the week. Inspections show 11 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent visit was June 2026. All three CMS star ratings land at 4 out of 5. For a 60-bed nonprofit in Custer County, the numbers point to steady nursing presence and stable leadership rather than anything flashy.

Turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. Inspections look solid, a 4/5 health inspection rating, a 5/5 on quality measures, and the most recent visit was June 2025. Nine deficiencies are on record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly.

Linden Court runs a nonprofit shop with 135 beds, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.90 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That's a thin margin. Weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday coverage, so the hours aren't distributed evenly across the week. Turnover comes in at 39%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is the weaker side: 17 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $14,017 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2026.

Weekend hours drop roughly 15% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday afternoon. The inspection record is clean where it matters most: six deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent survey came in July 2025. Quality measure scores sit lower than the staffing and inspection marks, which is the tension worth asking about when you visit.

Cloverlodge Care Center in St Edward runs a tight ship on inspections, four stars, nine deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a survey as recent as April 2025. The staffing picture is more mixed: 3.29 nurse hours per resident day sits about 15% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask who's on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is retention, 23.3% turnover against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stay, which matters more for daily care than a single number suggests. Nonprofit ownership, 47 beds.

Quality measure scores come in at 2 stars, lower than the staffing picture would suggest, so ask what's driving those numbers.

Turnover sits at 43.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekends run about a fifth thinner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is the strongest part: a five-star rating, three deficiencies total, none causing harm and none related to abuse, with the most recent visit in April 2026. Quality measures come in at three stars, a middle-of-the-road mark that keeps this from being an unqualified yes.

Tiffany Square runs on better-than-average staffing overall, 4.34 nurse hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86, and its 32.3% turnover beats the 45.8% national rate, which matters for whether caregivers stick around long enough to know your mother's routines. Weekends dip about 16% below weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 18 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the quality measure rating sits at 1 out of 5, the weakest of its three CMS scores. A December 2025 inspection means the picture is recent. Nonprofit ownership is worth noting, but the numbers, not the label, tell you what to ask about.

Heritage Care Center runs about 2.70 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 30% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 22% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters more than the inspection record, which shows 11 deficiencies with none at the harm level and one abuse-related finding, last reviewed in June 2025. Turnover sits at 42.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, a small positive for a nonprofit-run home with 100 beds. Quality measures score well, but the staffing number is the one families should ask about directly, especially on weekends.
