Carl T Curtis Health Education Center Nursing Home is a government-operated, 25-bed facility located on Indian Hills Drive in Macy, Nebraska. Serving Thurston County seniors, the small community operates at approximately 85 percent occupancy, offering both long-term nursing and short-term rehabilitation care.
The home provides an exceptionally high ratio of direct care, offering close to 7 hours of total nursing care per resident each day. Registered nurses contribute roughly 1 hour and 19 minutes of this total, while nurse aides provide the majority of hands-on support at approximately 4 hours. Daily life includes housekeeping, personal care, and scheduled social and recreational activities. The facility accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, giving families multiple ways to coordinate and fund their stays.
The surrounding Macy neighborhood is car-dependent, meaning most daily errands or visits from family require a vehicle. State evaluations from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) show that the facility’s most recent standard inspection on January 29, 2026, resulted in four citations, though the home maintains a three-year history with no civil monetary penalties or payment denials.
Families looking for a small clinical environment in Thurston County can contact the facility directly to discuss admission and care services.
Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
