Sumner Place is a 104-bed nursing home in Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, administered by Kaitlin Clegg and operated by VSL Lincoln Sumner, LLC. Operating continuously since 1975 and holding 65 awards and achievements, the facility provides skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, respite care, and Alzheimer’s and dementia services, accepting both Medicare and Medicaid.
Staffing exhibits mixed performance relative to state benchmarks. Registered nurses deliver 39 minutes per resident per day, 9 percent below the Nebraska average of 43 minutes. Licensed practical nurses provide 40 minutes per day, 7 percent below the state average of 43 minutes. Nurse aides work 2 hours 42 minutes per day, matching the state average of 2 hours 46 minutes. Weekend total nursing hours reach 3 hours 32 minutes per day, at the state average of 3 hours 37 minutes. Weekend registered nurse coverage reaches 47 minutes per day, 62 percent above the state average of 29 minutes. Physical therapy provision is notably constrained at 1 minute per resident per day, 67 percent below the state average of 3 minutes. Occupancy runs at 91 percent with 95 residents in 104 beds, above the Nebraska state average of 70.3 percent, suggesting strong community demand.
Sumner Place’s inspection trajectory reflects documented improvement. Earlier inspections documented deficiencies centered on life safety and fire safety issues such as fire doors, sprinkler systems, and emergency lighting, alongside isolated concerns about medication administration and infection control. Complaint investigations were predominantly unsubstantiated; some citations involved delayed abuse reporting and late investigative report submission. The facility has recorded no fines or enforcement actions with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health. The inspection on March 13, 2025, found no deficiencies and confirmed licensure renewal compliance. This pattern indicates meaningful remediation over time.
Available quality measures show limited data. Long-stay residents experienced emergency department visits at 0.86 per 1,000 days, 56 percent better than Nebraska’s 1.95. However, hospitalizations occurred at 1.91 per 1,000 days, 6 percent worse than the state average of 1.80. No penalties have been assessed in the past three years. The facility’s occupancy and decades-long operational history reflect established community presence.
Families considering Sumner Place should ask administrators directly about physical therapy capacity and rehabilitation protocols given the below-average physical therapist hours per resident.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Lincoln, NE
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Nebraska?
Assisted living in Nebraska is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities.

Does Nebraska Medicaid cover nursing home care?
Yes — Nebraska Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
What is nursing home care?
Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.
