CMS rates it 2 out of 5 stars overall, below the Nebraska average of 2.9.
Online reviews from families and residents are on Google Maps and other sites; they reflect individual experiences and aren't checked by CMS. The full inspection reports, including what inspectors observed, are on Medicare Care Compare.
Staffing
Nursing staff spend about 3.99 hours per resident per day at Legacy Square, about the same as the Nebraska median of 3.99 (US median: 3.72). About 0.85 of those hours are from registered nurses. On weekends it falls to 3.37 hours, 16% below its all-week average. Ask how weekends are staffed. 20% of nursing staff left within a year (Nebraska median 47.6%). That is lower than most homes in Nebraska, a sign of a steadier team.
