| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 1h 3m per day | ▲ 17% State avg: 54m per day · National avg: 41m 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 47m per day | ▲ 13% State avg: 2h 28m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 30m per day | ▲ 6% State avg: 3h 18m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 44m per day | ▲ 19% State avg: 37m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Inspection Report Summary for South Lincoln Nursing Center
The most recent inspection on December 11, 2025, found no deficiencies and confirmed the facility was in compliance with all regulations.

Prior reports also noted problems with infection control, staff verification, and resident rights, including a substantiated complaint involving verbal abuse by a staff member. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports.
