Omaha Nursing and Rehabilitation sits at 4835 S 49th Street in Omaha, operated by Southside Healthcare. It’s a 70-bed nursing home serving Medicare beneficiaries for short-term rehab and Medicaid patients for long-term skilled nursing. The facility runs at 83 percent occupancy and has operated for 42 years.
The Walk Score is 68, which means you can walk to some places but will need a car for others. The facility offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy. What’s interesting is the physical therapist hours: 5 minutes per resident daily, which actually exceeds both the Nebraska average and the national benchmark. That’s higher than most facilities manage.
Registered nurses provide 33 minutes of care per resident per day. That’s below the state average of 43 minutes and notably below the national average of 41 minutes. Conversely, licensed practical nurses contribute 57 minutes daily, which is 33 percent above the state average, while nurse aides deliver 1 hour 57 minutes per resident per day. So you’ve got lower RN coverage but more LPN and aide hours.
On weekends, total nursing care drops to 3 hours 2 minutes per resident per day, 17 percent below the state average. The staffing model here seems to prioritize bedside assistance over the clinical supervision that higher RN hours provide.
Over 15 years, the facility recorded 103 regulatory violations, 98 percent above the state average. That’s 6.9 deficiencies per year on average, also 97 percent above the Nebraska benchmark. The most recent renewal inspection in October 2024 found the facility in compliance with no deficiencies cited. No civil money penalties or CMS payment denials have been imposed in the past 3 years.
This is a stable facility with deep local roots, adequate therapy access, and a recent clean inspection. But the staffing composition and historical compliance issues mean it works best for someone who needs hands-on care and physical rehabilitation, not for someone whose medical complexity requires close RN oversight.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 33m per day | ▼ 23% 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.
| 57m 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.
| 1h 57m per day | ▼ 30% State avg: 2h 46m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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 2m per day | ▼ 16% 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.
| 5m per day | ▲ 67% 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.
| 24m per day | ▼ 17% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
