Overview of The Palm at Regency Square

The Palm at Regency Square is a 38-bed skilled nursing facility in South Sioux City, Nebraska, providing skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation. The building operates at full capacity with a 100% occupancy rate, serving a population primarily covered by Medicaid (71%), alongside private pay (18%) and Medicare (11%). Residents experience an average length of stay of 111 days in this highly walkable neighborhood property. Despite maximum utilization, financial reports highlight a challenging operating deficit of $231.5 thousand and a negative 8.3% profit margin.

Looking at recent state monitoring logs, the facility shows a clear positive shift in compliance despite running on lean staffing lines. A standard February 2025 licensing review came back completely clean with zero deficiencies, pointing to long-term operational turnarounds. This stands in contrast to a heavier older footprint of 77 citations over 16 years, a $34,000 regulatory fine in 2023, and a 2012 probation period for past accident prevention gaps.

Daily care hours are on the thin side, averaging 3 hours and 53 minutes per resident, which drops 11% below the Nebraska average due to lower certified nursing aide coverage. Long-stay clinical charts reveal high numbers for walking deterioration and general functional decline compared to state averages. Short-stay post-acute recovery metrics mirror these challenges, recording a 24% higher re-hospitalization rate and a discharge self-care success mark of just 28%, compared to the 54% state baseline.

Older adults comparing area nursing homes or short-term rehab options can use these state tracking files to see how the home performs. Since the official tracking shows maximum occupancy and excellent recent inspection scores alongside below-average nursing hours and tough recovery metrics, the data reflects a building making great regulatory strides but facing ongoing clinical workloads. Booking a personal tour is a great next step to check out the therapy departments, watch the staff on a daily shift, and ask the management team how they plan to address long-term physical preservation and short-term recovery outcomes.

Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.

They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 50m per day ▲ 16% 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.
