Overview of The Cedars at Broadwell

Facebook

The Cedars at Broadwell is a 76-bed nursing home that provides skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation services with 24-hour staffing. Admissions focus primarily on Medicaid recipients, who make up 77% of the census, alongside clients utilizing Medicare and private pay. Residents record an average length of stay of 88 days. Business records indicate notable financial and operational strain, highlighted by declining occupancy trends and a net operating loss of $326 thousand.

Oversight files from state health departments show a sharp contrast between excellent recent inspection reports and weaker long-term clinical data. The home’s most recent routine inspection in February 2025 turned up zero deficiencies, continuing a recent trend of clean state compliance reviews and unsubstantiated consumer complaints. This recent progress follows a heavier historical footprint, including 73 citations over a 15-year window, a $17,000 regulatory fine in 2024, and a 2018 substantiated complaint regarding injury protection.

Daily personnel depth tracks below average, with total nursing care averaging 3 hours and 15 minutes per resident daily to run 25% below the state norm, while registered nurse hours sit 44% below the state baseline. Clinical quality tracking aligns with these lower staffing volumes; long-stay charts show functional physical decline and walking deterioration running 23% to 47% worse than state averages, and short-stay records reveal serious fall rates at nearly four times the Nebraska average.

Families assessing regional skilled nursing options or short-term physical rehabilitation can look over these public records to analyze the provider’s overall trends. Since the official tracking profiles document strong recent compliance and zero deficiencies alongside thin daily care hours, elevated short-stay fall risks, and chronic long-term functional decline marks, the paperwork points to a facility with an improved regulatory record but persistent clinical challenges.

Hours per resident per day vs Nebraska averages

Staff type
Hours / day / resident
vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
29m
−33% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 42m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
24m
−44% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
2h 3m
−29% State avg: 2h 53m per day · National avg: 2h 24m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
2h 45m
−27% State avg: 3h 46m per day · National avg: 3h 30m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
3m
−8% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
27m
−3% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 29m per day
