Plainview Manor
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Plainview Manor in Plainview, Nebraska, has received a Trust Grade of A, indicating it is an excellent choice for families seeking nursing home care. Ranking #28 out of 177 facilities in Nebraska places it firmly in the top half of the state, while being #1 of 2 in Pierce County means it is the best option available locally. However, the facility's trend is concerning as issues increased from 1 in 2023 to 4 in 2024, indicating a worsening situation. Staffing is a strength, with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of only 25%, well below the state average, which suggests that caregivers are stable and familiar with residents. On the downside, there have been incidents where the facility failed to properly protect residents from potential abuse and neglect, and there was a failure to report an elopement incident, which raises concerns about resident safety. Despite these weaknesses, the absence of fines and excellent RN coverage, which exceeds that of 97% of Nebraska facilities, highlight some of the strengths of Plainview Manor.

"How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?"
Is Plainview Manor Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, Plainview Manor has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 5-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Nebraska. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Plainview Manor Stick Around?
Staff at Plainview Manor tend to stick around. With a turnover rate of 25%, the facility is 21 percentage points below the Nebraska average of 46%. Low turnover is a positive sign. It means caregivers have time to learn each resident's needs, medications, and personal preferences. Consistent staff also notice subtle changes in a resident's condition more quickly.
Was Plainview Manor Ever Fined?
Plainview Manor has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Plainview Manor on Any Federal Watch List?
Plainview Manor is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
