Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Nebraska

Nebraska is home to 179 CMS-certified nursing homes listed in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The statewide average overall rating stands at 2.88 of 5 stars across these facilities.

The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure with acknowledged limitations. The ratings presented here reflect data current as of May 2026 and should not be construed as a recommendation or guarantee of care quality. Each facility's rating is comprised of multiple components, including overall quality, health inspection performance, and staffing metrics, which are displayed to provide a comprehensive snapshot of facility performance.

Prospective residents and their families should recognize that the Five-Star rating represents only one factor in the decision-making process. Other considerations carry significant weight, including the facility's location, the specific types of care services required, an in-person visit to the facility, and direct conversations with staff members and clinical professionals. Before making a final decision based on any rating shown, individuals should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile to ensure the information reflects the most recent assessment data available.

How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.
