6 of 6 metrics below state avg

Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 24m per day ▼ 44% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 41m per day ▼ 5% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 26m per day ▼ 12% State avg: 2h 46m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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. 2h 50m per day ▼ 21% State avg: 3h 37m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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 Info 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. 18m per day ▼ 38% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day

Inspection History

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.

Since 2012 · 14 years of data 62 deficiencies

Inspection Scorecard Info This scorecard compares key inspection, citation, and complaint metrics at this facility against the Nebraska state average. Metrics rated ≥15% worse than average are highlighted in red; those ≥15% better are highlighted in green.

Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on November 6, 2018, found deficiencies related to resident dignity during dining, care plan updates, infection control hand hygiene, emergency lighting, fire safety, and maintenance issues. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving life safety code compliance, fire safety, care planning, infection control, and restorative program monitoring. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one substantiated issue in 2017 regarding fall alarm maintenance that was promptly corrected; no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Prior reports noted repeated challenges with fire door closures, sprinkler maintenance, and medication monitoring, but the facility took corrective actions over time. The trend suggests ongoing attention is needed in safety and care documentation, with some improvements in complaint outcomes but persistent facility maintenance concerns.
