Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (72% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 27 days.
Tabitha Nursing Center at Crete is a small, 38-bed nonprofit facility that handles long-term care, short-term rehab, respite, and hospice. It sits in a walkable downtown neighborhood and stays very busy, running at a 95% occupancy rate that is well above what you typically see in Nebraska. Financially, the home is bouncing back, cutting its operating losses roughly in half down to $382.8 thousand in 2023, all while keeping payroll investments high at nearly 69% of its revenue. Because it leans toward long-term care, residents here average a lengthy 405-day stay.
State health department files show excellent staffing depth and impressive health outcomes for permanent residents. Direct nursing care averages just under five hours per resident daily, with registered nurse hours running 37% ahead of state averages. This strong staffing presence shows up clearly in the clinical data: long-term residents experience zero percent rates for depression and unexpected weight loss, alongside great marks for skin integrity.
On the regulatory side, the building has shown steady improvement. Inspections from 2024 and 2025 turned up only a few minor, routine points with zero serious violations. This is a solid step up from its older history, which included a 2016 probation over how falls were assessed, plus some past paperwork gaps around fire safety rules. The facility currently carries zero recent federal fines or penalties.
Older adults looking for a highly staffed, small-scale care setting can use these public reports to see how the home performs. Since the official tracking shows near-capacity occupancy, great clinical marks for permanent resident wellness, and strong daily nurse coverage alongside a vastly improved inspection track record, the data reflects a well-run community.
