Mostly long-term care residents
Most residents stay for extended periods and receive ongoing daily care.
New residents most often arrive under private pay (45% of admissions), and a typical private pay stay runs around 9 - 10 months.
Heather Geis owns and operates Accura HealthCare of Tekamah, a 46-bed skilled nursing home located on M Street in Tekamah, Nebraska. The business office processes several financial configurations, accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. For visitors, the surrounding area is moderately pedestrian-friendly, meaning family members can complete a few routine errands on foot, though a vehicle is still practical for most travel through the neighborhood.
Typical stays here run about 296 days, which points to a caseload heavily focused on permanent clinical care alongside short-term therapy. These ongoing residential needs keep the facility running at a 57 percent occupancy level. Around-the-clock staffing handles the daily clinical routine, providing 3 hours and 50 minutes of direct nursing care per resident each day through a combined team of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides who cover physical rehabilitation, chronic disease oversight, and temporary respite care.
Regulatory files reveal a history of past documentation and facility maintenance reviews. Follow-up evaluations from the health department confirm that the property adjusted its operational protocols to clear those earlier tracking gaps, and the building maintains an overall cumulative citations-per-inspection rate of zero.
Prospective residents choose between private or semi-private layouts and have access to music therapy, a life enrichment program, an on-site salon, and building-wide Wi-Fi. Meals are planned to meet standard daily nutritional guidelines and are served in a communal dining space.
Accura HealthCare of Tekamah is administered by Administrator Trishtian Mcneill.
In Nebraska, the Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health conducts regular inspections to ensure nursing and assisted living facilities meet state and federal standards.
