Overview of The Pines at Blue Hill

The Pines at Blue Hill is a 62-bed facility in rural Blue Hill, Nebraska, providing skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation. Opened in May 2023 under private operation, the home accommodates a mix of residents funded by Medicaid (49%), private pay (33%), and Medicare (18%), with an average stay of 159 days. Financial records indicate ongoing operational challenges, highlighted by a low 50% occupancy rate and an overall operating loss.

State health department archives point to a notable shift toward regulatory compliance, though everyday staffing levels and short-term recovery metrics remain weak. The home’s February 2025 license renewal survey came back with zero deficiencies, mirroring recent progress under the current operational structure. This stands in contrast to a heavy historical record from 16 years of prior operations on the property, which accumulated 101 citations, 91% above the state average, along with $23,000 in federal fines in 2024 and older license probations in 2013 and 2017 tied to resident falls.

Daily care lines show total nursing hours average 3 hours and 32 minutes per resident, running 19% below the Nebraska baseline, while registered nurse hours sit 49% below the state average. This leaner clinical coverage matches weaker post-acute outcomes, where short-stay charts show re-hospitalization rates 38% above the state mean and emergency room visits tracking 98% higher than average.

Prospective residents looking into area skilled care or short-term rehab can use these public monitoring files to assess the provider’s current performance. Since the official tracking documentation records low building utilization, thin daily nurse coverage, and high post-acute hospital return rates alongside a completely clean recent inspection and a history of past safety probations, the paperwork shows a facility trying to correct long-standing operational issues.

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +19% above state avg

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.	23m per day	▼ 46% 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.	51m per day	▲ 19% 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.	2h 23m per day	▼ 14% State avg: 2h 46m per day · National avg: 2h 20m 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 16m per day	▼ 10% 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.	3m per day	▲ 5% 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.	17m per day	▼ 42% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day
