This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 31% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. 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.
Hillcrest Shadow Lake LLC receives highly polarized feedback, with recent reviews highlighting significant concerns regarding cleanliness, staffing levels, and communication. While some long-term family members praise the management and care team, multiple recent reports describe a facility that is understaffed, unresponsive to medical needs, and failing to maintain basic hygiene standards.

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother has repeatedly fallen while under their care and it took me and her POA getting upset with the staff before they would x-ray her to make sure nothing was broken, although for TWO days she cried in pain!!!”
“It is not clean, bathroom accidents on the floor are left (4 weeks) and carpet isn't cleaned. Staff is unprofessional and disrespectful.”
“My wife was in HSL about 5 years until her recent passing. No place is perfect, but the staff at HSL was loving and caring to my wife and myself and I have no regrets about her being there.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
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.
