Brookestone View’s inspection record documents serious historical concerns followed by recent improvement. The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health, conducted 17 visits and inspections. The most recent inspection on March 13, 2025, showed no deficiencies and confirmed licensure renewal and occupancy permit status. Earlier inspections identified deficiencies centered on resident care monitoring, medication management, infection control, and fire safety compliance. Notable issues included failure to notify physicians of resident condition changes and inadequate supervision. A substantiated complaint from 2019 involved inadequate monitoring and notification that contributed to a resident’s death. Most other complaint investigations were unsubstantiated. The absence of deficiencies in the most recent reports indicates improvement compared to prior years.
The facility’s history includes a documented fatal incident from inadequate monitoring and the prior pattern of deficiencies in supervision and notification.
Despite recent compliance improvement, families should ask about physician notification protocols, resident monitoring practices, staffing supervision systems, and corrective measures implemented following the 2019 incident.
Brookestone View is administered by Assistant Administrator Veronica Boeser.
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.
