Linden Court is a 135-bed nursing home at 4000 West Philip Avenue, North Platte, Lincoln County, Nebraska, administered by Mark Hoyle and operated by VSL North Platte Court, LLC. The facility provides skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, and memory care, accepting both Medicare and Medicaid.
Staffing shows consistent strength in licensed clinical areas. Registered nurses deliver 51 minutes per resident per day, 19 percent above the Nebraska average of 43 minutes. Licensed practical nurses provide 49 minutes per day, 14 percent above the state average of 43 minutes. Weekend registered nurse coverage reaches 34 minutes per day, 17 percent higher than the state average of 29 minutes. Nurse aide hours run 2 hours 36 minutes per day, 6 percent below the Nebraska average of 2 hours 46 minutes. Physical therapists provide 3 minutes per resident daily, matching the state average. The facility operates at 95 percent occupancy with 128 residents in 135 beds, a rate substantially higher than the Nebraska state average of 70.3 percent and suggesting limited availability. The facility’s occupancy rate, well above state average, reflects strong community demand.
Linden Court’s inspection record shows a documented improvement trajectory. Inspections and complaint investigations from 2015 through 2019 revealed deficiencies centered on resident protection from abuse and adverse behaviors, care planning and documentation, timely reporting of abuse allegations, infection control, and fire safety. Substantiated complaints documented failures to protect residents from abuse, delays in abuse reporting, and inadequate supervision following falls. Citations were issued for delayed abuse reporting and failure to submit investigation reports in a timely manner, though no fines or license suspensions appear in the available record. The facility’s most recent licensure renewal applications, dated March 2020 and March 2021, showed compliance with statutory requirements without noted deficiencies. This pattern suggests meaningful remediation and sustained improvement over recent years. The facility has incurred no federal penalties in the past three years.
Quality measures paint a nuanced picture. Long-stay residents experienced hospitalizations at 1.71 per 1,000 days, 5 percent better than Nebraska’s 1.80, and emergency department visits at 1.80 per 1,000 days, 8 percent better than the state average of 1.95. Short-stay rehabilitation residents showed emergency department visits at 5.1 percent of admissions, 56 percent better than the Nebraska average of 11.6 percent, and rehospitalizations at 21.6 percent, in line with the state average of 20.9 percent. However, falls with major injury occurred in 1.8 percent of short-stay stays, 138 percent higher than the Nebraska average of 0.8 percent. Successful discharge to home or community reached 41.8 percent, 17 percent below the state average of 50.6 percent.
Families considering Linden Court for short-stay rehabilitation should ask administrators directly about specific fall prevention protocols and discharge planning processes before admission.
Linden Court is administered by Administrator Mark Hoyle.
