Overview of The Mulberry at Waverly

The Mulberry at Waverly is a privately run, 54-bed nursing home that has provided skilled nursing, memory support, and rehabilitation services for 37 years. The facility serves a population primarily composed of Medicaid recipients (79%), alongside those utilizing Medicare and private pay, with an average length of stay of 146 days. Business records indicate a small-community care model that currently maintains a Better Business Bureau rating of A+, though state-imposed restrictions affect new incoming admissions.

State records show a history of severe compliance challenges and critical enforcement penalties. Following a standard June 2024 inspection, regulators placed the home on a 180-day probation and issued an admission freeze on new residents after identifying incomplete assessments linked to the deaths of two residents. Over a 16-year tracking window, the property compiled 91 total citations, exceeding the Nebraska average by 73%. Enforcement records also note $26,000 in total federal financial fines and temporary government payment denials in recent years, which follow a historical 90-day probation in 2013 for medication errors.

Routine checkups show persistent, multi-year difficulties regarding infection control, care plan execution, dietary staffing volumes, and fire safety systems. Daily staffing hours average 4 hours and 7 minutes per resident, running slightly under the state benchmark, while clinical charts show resident hospitalizations at nearly double the state average alongside below-average scores for preserving physical mobility.

Interested individuals investigating regional long-term skilled nursing options can evaluate these public health archives to analyze the facility’s current status. Since the official tracking profiles document an active admission freeze, substantial financial fines, and notable long-term clinical deficiencies alongside an established history in the area, the paperwork underscores a care environment facing significant oversight and operational strain.
