Good Samaritan Bloomfield: Staffing Failures - NE

Healthcare Facility
Good Samaritan Society - Bloomfield
Bloomfield, NE  ·  3/5 stars

The weekend before, Saturday looked the same. Two aides, not three. The following Tuesday night, a single aide covered the floor alone from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m., when a second aide arrived for the remaining four hours. The overnight standard required two aides for the full shift.

The understaffing showed up in the call light records. On November 5, residents activated their call lights 14 separate times without getting a response within 15 minutes. The delays stretched from 16 minutes to 40 minutes.

The Director of Nursing, interviewed by inspectors on November 24, confirmed the facility's own standard: call lights answered within 15 minutes. She confirmed that standard was not met.

She also confirmed, in a separate interview that same afternoon, what the scheduling records already showed. From October 22 through November 5, the facility repeatedly sent shifts short. Monday through Friday mornings were supposed to have four CNAs from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. On October 22 and October 29, three showed up. Overnight shifts requiring two aides ran with one and a half, or less.

The inspection, a complaint survey completed November 24, 2025, cited the deficiency at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm, with some residents affected.

What the records don't show is how long any one resident waited in bed, or in a bathroom, or in pain, before someone came.
