    Friendly staff, good care, promising

    I'm pleased with the friendly, helpful staff and the good care my loved one receives. Management clearly cares and I see visible improvements and a new direction underway. Food looks good, activities are excellent, and the laundry team is top-notch - a positive, promising place.

    Summary of reviews

    Care quality: Reviewers describe a mixed care environment. Positive accounts frequently cite compassionate, skilled CNAs and nurses and notably effective physical/occupational therapy services. At the same time, many families expressed concerns about inconsistent personal-care delivery—particularly bathing and toileting schedules—and delayed responses to assistance requests. There are also recurring accounts of missed or inconsistent medication administration and documentation, which contribute to family unease about clinical reliability.

    Staffing and professionalism: A prominent pattern is chronic understaffing combined with high turnover and heavy use of agency or traveling staff. This staffing model appears to affect continuity of care and teamwork; several families described delays in basic assistance and variability in staff conduct. Concerns about staff training, cellphone use during work, and the tone of some caregivers were raised alongside praise for specific frontline employees who were described as helpful and attentive.

    Dining and activities: Comments about dining are relatively mixed-to-positive. Meals are often described as visually appealing and acceptable, although some families reported cold food on occasion. The activities program and laundry services receive consistent positive mentions; activity staff are characterized as engaged and the laundry operation as reliable.

    Facilities and maintenance: There are substantial concerns about the physical environment. Reviewers report maintenance and repair deficiencies, stained or worn finishes, and exterior grounds issues. Housekeeping and sanitation shortcomings in resident rooms and communal spaces are noted, along with odor and pest-control concerns. These facility issues are cited as affecting resident comfort and the overall impression of the building.

    Management, communication, and patterns: Families' experiences with management are mixed. Some reviewers describe active management engagement and a stated direction toward improvement, while others report frustration with unresolved complaints, limited follow-through, and restricted transparency (for example, difficulty locating regulatory or inspection documentation). Patterns that emerge across reviews include inconsistent complaint resolution, gaps in family communication, and uneven enforcement of facility standards.

    Overall impression: The facility displays clear strengths—notably dedicated direct-care staff, effective therapy services, an active activities program, and solid laundry operations—but also persistent operational weaknesses that affect resident experience. The dominant themes are staffing instability, variability in personal-care and medication practices, housekeeping and maintenance deficits, and communication shortfalls. Prospective residents and families should weigh the positive clinical and programmatic elements against these operational concerns, ask targeted questions about current staffing, maintenance plans, grievance processes, and regulatory status, and, if possible, seek recent documentation or an in-person tour to verify whether planned improvements are being implemented.

    About The Cedars at Broadwell

    The Cedars at Broadwell sits at 800 Stoeger Dr in Grand Island, NE, and runs as a for-profit nursing home linked with Avid Healthcare Group, focusing on both long-term and short-term skilled nursing care for older adults and taking in about 49 residents each day with a total of 67 certified beds, offering private and semi-private rooms with bedside tables, lamps, tray tables, and storage for comfort. The facility operates 24 hours a day, every day, and offers senior living options like assisted living, nursing and rehab services, and a memory care unit for folks dealing with dementia or memory issues, so residents can get physical, occupational, and speech therapy on-site, plus case management and social services. Staff can help with medication management and provide transportation for appointments or group outings, and there are activities, special diet accommodations, nutritional support, and comfort amenities like a residents lounge and an outdoor courtyard with a gazebo. They do offer an emergency call system in the rooms for safety.

    The Cedars at Broadwell has documented some serious deficiencies in recent inspection reports, including not always providing the care needed to prevent or treat pressure ulcers and problems with its infection prevention and control program, which have contributed to infection-related deficiencies. It's received 15 substantiated complaints about care or safety and been fined $92,274 by CMS over quality and safety violations. Nurse turnover stands high at 85.2%, compared to the state average of 51.6%, and nurse hours per resident per day are lower than average at about 3.23 (while the state average sits at 4.0), with low RN coverage too, especially on weekends. Its ratings for staffing, quality measures, and health inspections are all at 1.0 star, and the total weighted health survey score is 78.5. The place keeps a login requirement for some features and claims a focus on growing wellness programs rooted in compassion, but the inspection history and staffing numbers are things families may want to look at closely when considering care here.
