Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which opens up multiple ways for families to finance a stay. On the regulatory side, state inspections from Nebraska’s Department of Health and Human Services have tended to focus on resident rights and protections, medication management, and infection prevention and control.

The average resident stays 85 days, a span that reflects both the shorter rehabilitation admissions and the longer-term nursing residents living there.

Rehabilitation services are here for residents working back toward recovery, or toward more function than they currently have.
