Overview

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.
