Overview of Parkside Manor

In Stuart, Nebraska, a small farming town in Holt County, the Village of Stuart owns and runs the local nursing home. Parkside Manor is a 40-bed community at 607 North Main Street, administered by Lucas Kaup, and it does more than skilled nursing: assisted living, memory care, and respite services all operate under the same roof. The neighborhood is somewhat walkable (Walk Score 30), though most errands here still mean getting in a car.

Every bed is currently occupied, and reservations will need to be made well in advance. Nursing coverage totals about 4 hours and 25 minutes per resident each day, split across registered nurses (36 minutes), licensed practical nurses (42 minutes), and nurse aides, who handle the largest share at roughly 2 hours and 17 minutes. Families who need a short-term stay, rather than a permanent move, can use the facility’s respite care option.

Coverage-wise, Parkside Manor takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which opens up several ways to finance a stay here. On the regulatory side, state inspection themes have clustered around medication management and staff credentialing, along with fire-safety systems and emergency preparedness. Environmental safety and resident rights have also come up as recurring areas of review.

What stands out is the range packed into one small building: a government-owned home in a rural county offering everything from a few weeks of respite care to long-term memory care and skilled nursing, all without asking a family to move a loved one across town as care needs shift.

Overview of The Manor of Kenosha

Managed by administrator Charlean Adams, The Manor of Kenosha delivers around-the-clock skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care within a 153-bed residential setup. This facility features restaurant-style dining, religious services, and an on-staff physician, with operations heavily focused on short-term recovery. Private-pay individuals make up 61% of all admissions, followed by Medicare recipients at 34%, with residents staying an average of 128 days. The community maintains a 58% occupancy rate and sits roughly four miles outside the city center in an area carrying a Walk Score of 1.

Oversight files from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) detail significant regulatory and staffing hurdles, noting 10 separate inspections since 2023 that resulted in 52 total citations. This volume runs roughly double the Wisconsin state average, with logs documenting four critical and three serious violations involving resident rights, pharmacy services, and general care quality.

Due to these systemic compliance failures, federal authorities issued $124,000 in financial fines and enforced a five-day payment denial in April 2024 that temporarily paused state-funded admissions. Furthermore, daily nursing care averages three hours per resident, which drops to 2 hours and 57 minutes on weekends, falling below the state benchmark of 4 hours and 14 minutes. Clinical records show mixed outcomes; while long-stay residents perform well in daily activity maintenance and depression tracking, metrics for weight loss and pressure ulcers run worse than the state averages.

Families reviewing regional skilled nursing options should carefully analyze these long-term public health logs during their search. Since the government databases reveal a high frequency of standard and critical citations, substantial financial penalties, and low daily staffing averages, cross-referencing current quality improvements with the administration is a necessary precaution. Scheduling an on-site visit is a practical next step to observe day-to-day staffing levels firsthand, inspect the physical setup of the building, and interview the director about their ongoing regulatory correction plans.
