Overview of Arbor Care Centers-Countryside

Arbor Care Centers-Countryside is a 70-bed skilled nursing facility in Madison, Nebraska, offering long-term care, post-acute rehabilitation, and memory care through a 17-bed Alzheimer’s Special Care Unit, privately owned and operated by Arbor Care Centers-Countryside under Joseph Kezzar. It accepts both Medicare and Medicaid.

The facility’s 2-star CMS rating is mainly due to staffing levels. Nurse staffing averages 68.2% below the Nebraska average, the defining figure in the overall rating. Health inspection and quality measure performance are above the state average, which narrows but does not close the gap.

Over 11 years of inspection history, the facility averaged 4.1 deficiencies per year — close to Nebraska’s average of 4.2. There have been no deficiencies cited during renewal inspections since 2019, a consistent record of compliance.

Earlier years carried citations for life safety code issues, infection control, and fall prevention. A 2018 complaint investigation substantiated findings in fall evaluation, infection control, and motorized equipment competency; more recent complaint investigations have been unsubstantiated. No fines or enforcement actions appear in the record.

With an occupancy rate of 94% compared with the state’s average of 70.3%, the facility operates near capacity. Services include post-acute rehabilitation, IV therapy, fall prevention programming, outpatient therapy, and on-site registered dietitian support. Private and semi-private rooms are also available.

The facility is for residents seeking long-term skilled nursing care or short-term post-acute rehabilitation in a small-city Nebraska setting, with a dedicated memory care unit suited for individuals in earlier to mid-stage Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info 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.
Health Inspection Info 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.
Staffing Info 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.
Quality Measures Info 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.

Capacity and availability

Avg. Length of Stay Info Average number of days residents stay at this facility, based on CMS cost report data. Shorter stays often reflect post-acute or rehab care; longer stays reflect long-term care.
