This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 8 findings, above the NE average of 6.7. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Ambassador Health of Lincoln receives highly polarized feedback, with some families praising the rehab therapy team and facility aesthetics, while others report severe, life-threatening lapses in medical care. Critical concerns include medication errors, neglect of hygiene, and understaffing, leading to multiple reports of residents requiring emergency hospitalizations. Prospective families should be aware of the significant disparity between the facility's appearance and the reported quality of clinical oversight.

Key Review Excerpts
“In less than two weeks their therapy staff had me from wheelchair bound to walking with a rollator and no longer needing assistance to stand, sit, lay down”
“They gave him blood thinners for 11 more days than prescribed. He was rushed to the hospital. Because they can’t read.”
“During the 3 weeks my mom was there she was not given 1 bath. When I called about it they told me they were short staffed.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
