Madison House’s inspection record demonstrates improvement over time. The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health, conducted 12 total visits and inspections. The most recent inspection on April 25, 2022, was a renewal application confirming licensure with no deficiencies noted. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record with several substantiated complaints related primarily to safety issues, including failure to provide a safe environment to prevent elopement and injuries, as well as documentation and medication management concerns. Complaint investigations identified problems with incident investigation and reporting, infection control, food safety, and resident care, though some complaints were unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in available records. The facility’s record shows improvement over time with the most recent report confirming compliance following earlier citations.

Occupancy reaches 48 percent with 22 residents in 46 beds, substantially below the Nebraska state average of 70.3 percent, indicating significant available capacity. This low occupancy may reflect recent operational changes, staffing adjustments, or reduced local demand. No federal penalties have been imposed in the past three years according to CMS records.

Madison House presents mixed signals requiring careful evaluation. Prior substantiated safety deficiencies related to elopement prevention and medication management, and substantially low occupancy requires direct inquiry about current operational status and programming availability.

Families should ask about current safety protocols, staff training, incident reporting systems, and corrective measures implemented since 2022 before placement consideration.
