Overview

Tabitha At The Landing has a Trust Grade of B+, which means it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. It ranks #34 out of 177 facilities in Nebraska, placing it in the top half, and #3 out of 14 in Lancaster County, indicating there are only two local options rated higher. However, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with the number of issues increasing from 2 in 2024 to 3 in 2025. Staffing is a strength, earning a 5/5 star rating, although the 62% turnover rate is concerning since it is higher than the state average. Notably, there have been no fines, and the facility has more RN coverage than 90% of Nebraska facilities, which is beneficial for resident care. On the downside, there have been specific inspections that raised concerns, including failures to properly store food, which could lead to foodborne illnesses, and not notifying a resident's representative about a significant bruise that developed without a clear cause. These incidents highlight areas that need immediate attention alongside the facility's strengths.
