Emerald Nursing & Rehab Cozad

Emerald Nursing & Rehab Cozad sits at 318 W 18th St in Cozad, NE, and provides skilled nursing and rehabilitation care for seniors who need support with daily living or complex medical needs, and the facility has 67 certified beds and an experienced team that includes a specially trained Nurse Practitioner who gives residents continuous medical attention, and during weekdays, people can use telehealth services without having to go far, and the staff pays attention to each resident with personalized care plans, often making sure therapy and nursing needs fit the individual person, and, you know, the facility features a home-grown therapy department where the same group of therapists helps folks recover from surgeries, strokes, heart problems, or illnesses, which can make people feel more at ease since they've got familiar faces around, while the nurses and aides work together to create a trusting, compassionate environment, even though the average nurse hours per resident per day are about 3.56, which is a little below the Nebraska state average of 4.0, and the nurse turnover rate stands at 51.2%, just under the state average, so some people stick around but there is staff movement, and you'll find a few issues noted in recent inspection reports-like 16 deficiencies in total, including 2 infections, one on Resident Rights Deficiency F0584 about having a safe, clean place to stay, and one pharmacy-related called F0758, pointing to how they manage medications, especially psychotropic drugs, and while there are always things to work on, the facility does try to create a comfortable daily life for people, with private spacious rooms, pretty patios for enjoying fresh air, and gourmet meals with personal menus, and you'll see some staff who've been working there for over thirty years, putting in the time to help both in recovery and in long-term nursing, and folks who stay at Emerald Nursing & Rehab Cozad can get skilled therapy, help with social services, and nutrition support too, as they focus on helping both the physical and emotional health of each resident and the wider community, and that's how Emerald Nursing & Rehab Cozad operates, managed by Jacob Walden since October 2019, held by Cozad Operations LLC, Yisroel Chafetz, and Jacob Walden with indirect ownership through Ycne Operations LLC, all under the Emerald Healthcare brand.
