Overview of Callaway Good Life Center, INC

Callaway Good Life Center is a 38-bed skilled nursing home owned by Todd Sutherland in Callaway, Nebraska. The facility operates under a payment framework that accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. For visitors, the surrounding rural area is car-dependent with a walkability score of 41 out of 100, meaning family members will generally need a vehicle to travel to the property or manage errands.

Stays typically last about a year, showing a standard balance between permanent residential care and short-term post-acute therapy. These ongoing residential needs keep the building running at a 79 percent occupancy level. Around-the-clock staffing handles the daily clinical workload, delivering an average of 4 hours and 19 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day through a combined team of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides who cover physical rehabilitation, mental health support, and temporary respite care.

State regulatory files reveal a long-term look at the facility’s compliance tracking record. Health department reports indicate that the property updated its operational protocols to clear previous inspection notes regarding fall prevention, staff licensing, and infection control, leaving the current record clear of active enforcement penalties. Across its broader regulatory data profile, the center maintains a cumulative citations-per-inspection rate of zero.

Interested individuals can expect a community layout featuring courtyard access, an on-site beauty shop, and a regular calendar of social programs. Meals are planned to meet standard daily nutritional guidelines and are served with choices in a communal dining space. The routine balances targeted physical recovery sessions with personal care assistance, laundry services, and open visiting times for families.

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Weekend RN is +38% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	43m per day	■ Avg State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	29m per day	▼ 33% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 14m per day	▼ 19% State avg: 2h 46m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 7m per day	▼ 14% State avg: 3h 37m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	2m per day	▼ 33% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	40m per day	▲ 38% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day
