Overview of The Palm at Regency Square
The Palm at Regency Square is a 38-bed skilled nursing facility in South Sioux City, Nebraska, providing skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation. The building operates at full capacity with a 100% occupancy rate, serving a population primarily covered by Medicaid (71%), alongside private pay (18%) and Medicare (11%). Residents experience an average length of stay of 111 days in this highly walkable neighborhood property. Despite maximum utilization, financial reports highlight a challenging operating deficit of $231.5 thousand and a negative 8.3% profit margin.
Looking at recent state monitoring logs, the facility shows a clear positive shift in compliance despite running on lean staffing lines. A standard February 2025 licensing review came back completely clean with zero deficiencies, pointing to long-term operational turnarounds. This stands in contrast to a heavier older footprint of 77 citations over 16 years, a $34,000 regulatory fine in 2023, and a 2012 probation period for past accident prevention gaps.
Daily care hours are on the thin side, averaging 3 hours and 53 minutes per resident, which drops 11% below the Nebraska average due to lower certified nursing aide coverage. Long-stay clinical charts reveal high numbers for walking deterioration and general functional decline compared to state averages. Short-stay post-acute recovery metrics mirror these challenges, recording a 24% higher re-hospitalization rate and a discharge self-care success mark of just 28%, compared to the 54% state baseline.
Older adults comparing area nursing homes or short-term rehab options can use these state tracking files to see how the home performs. Since the official tracking shows maximum occupancy and excellent recent inspection scores alongside below-average nursing hours and tough recovery metrics, the data reflects a building making great regulatory strides but facing ongoing clinical workloads. Booking a personal tour is a great next step to check out the therapy departments, watch the staff on a daily shift, and ask the management team how they plan to address long-term physical preservation and short-term recovery outcomes.
