Good Samaritan Society: Abuse Reporting Failures - NE

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

That was one of at least six shifts between October 22 and November 5, 2025, where the facility ran short. On the weekend of October 25 and 26, two CNAs covered the morning shift both days, when three were supposed to be there. On November 2, one aide worked the evening shift from 6 to 10 PM, and one aide covered the overnight, when the facility's standard called for two on each.

The staffing gaps had a measurable consequence. On November 5, call lights went unanswered 14 times. The delays ranged from 16 minutes to 40 minutes. The facility's own policy set 15 minutes as the maximum acceptable response time.

The Director of Nursing, interviewed by inspectors on November 24, confirmed both facts without dispute: the staffing numbers on those shifts fell below what should have been scheduled, and call lights did not get answered on time.

Inspectors 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 what residents needed during those 16 to 40 minutes — whether someone was waiting to be helped to the bathroom, repositioned, or simply had no way to reach anyone at all.
