Assisted Living Communities in Bellevue, NE

"The staff at House of Hope Alzheimer's Care were very interactive with patients. It's overall a nice community. It's harmonious. They had a little party room, a garden, and a community room. They showed me a calendar, and there were quite a few activities. The upkeep looked good. Nothing appeared unclean. Everything appeared to be kept up pretty nicely."

"I went here. The tour was very positive. I like the place very much. The staff was very attentive. They want me to get a place with them, but it was very good. It was very clean, and it was very convenient to everything around that you would need outside of that. The apartment was good. The place was sort of centrally located. It was a good place so people could come and visit, or you can leave and do what you need to do outside of the facility."

"Bickford is a very nice facility. The place is clean, and it looks well-run. I think it is one of the premiere assisted living places of Omaha. The staff looked professional. "

"We toured The Brant at Gretna. It's beautiful. They offer everything. They have a wonderful place and the price was right. Everything about it was right. We just chose the other one. The staff, I thought, was great. We didn't spend a lot of time. We didn't have a meal. They were kind. They were very well educated about the building and that sort of thing. The rooms were beautiful and had a large kitchen area, a laundry, and a nice big bar, so you didn't have to bring a table and everything. I thought the bedroom and the living room were a little small for what we desired."

"My wife and I visited Symphony Pointe here in Omaha. It's a very, very nice facility. I think that would be the one my mother would go to. It's a brand-new facility. It's like going into a luxury resort or apartment complex. The staff who gave the tour was very friendly and did a very adequate job. The menu looked very good. It's off menu. They've got a chef. And from what I could tell, it looked very appetizing. The facility is in excellent condition. It's flawless. It's just an excellent facility. The size of the rooms is more than enough in comparison with other facilities in the region. By far, it's superior."

"I visited Oxbow and it was very nice. It's a new facility, the memory care just opened last June. It's organized, very clean, and it has no smell."

"My mother and I toured the Heritage Ridge Retirement Living. The room that we got to see was very nice and my mother liked it. It was small but she liked that aspect of it. My mom had a dog and they were willing to let her dog stayed with her. We actually sat down and ate lunch with some of the other residents and their food was good. However, when my mother couldn't eat what they brought her, they offered her some other things, which was nice. Their dining room was very nice. It had large tables where four to six people could sit. It had very comfortable chairs. It's almost like eating at home. They also had a large outdoor area that was enclosed and they had raised gardening boxes that people could garden as they chose to. Most importantly, my mother liked the staff. They were friendly, very cooperative, and very accommodating. They understood our situation. She was very excited about moving there, but her health took a turn for the worse and she passed away. She was not able to ever move in. "

"I was satisfied with everything at Eastern Nebraska Veterans' Home. It was fairly expensive, but the staff was fine. The rooms were adequate. You could take a bus. They go to different places, and they have a reading room, a computer, and an exercise room. "

"I toured Hillcrest Mable Rose. They're part of a larger community in this area called Hillcrest, and that facility is not known to be quite as stellar when it comes to response time. The staff was not as professional. He was fairly new, and the turnover is also indicative of poor facilities. The one thing I will say, and a positive thing about Mable Rose is they are one of the only communities in this area that have an adult daycare."

"This assisted living environment is a place you are comfortable with at first impression. The facilities are appealing to the eye and kept up well. It seemed more like a home to its residents than a care facility. I have been to many assisted living facilities and this one really stood out. All of the residents that we saw and talked to seemed happy and like they were able to do a lot of things that they liked to do. The staff was very friendly and had time for the people. I really liked that each resident seemed to have their own care plan based upon their needs. They were able to be as independent as they could be or wanted to be. There were several areas where residents can gather together and socialize if they want to or the living areas are nice too if they want to spend time alone. I was not there at meal time but from the two relatives of my friend, they both said the food is always very good and better than they expected. This is an assisted living facility that I would definitely recommend for others to take a look at if they are in need of a facility like this for either themselves or a family member. "

"My brother is in Southview Heights. It's very nice, very clean and very well organized. The family that owns it is wonderful. My brother likes the food. I know they have different things to entertain them. They even have physical therapy where they all can come in one room and do whatever it is that they're working on, their legs or their arms or whatever."

"My mother lived St. Joseph. The staff was competent and caring. The rooms were beautiful. My mom's room was probably about 15x15 feet. The food was good and adequate. The dining room was very pleasant. I was pleased with the security. She wore a button that would set off alarms if she would try to go out. However, I thought they needed more help. "

"My mother-in-law has moved in, and she’s comfortable. We like the people. We’ve gotten to know the senior manager there; the head nurse and maintenance staff all seemed to be very responsive and very professional. The residents that we’ve met there all seemed to be very nice. The food is good; it’s not excellent, but she has some unique taste. Overall, she likes it there, and we’re comfortable with her there. It’s very welcoming when you first walk in. There’s a big, open area with a fireplace, a TV, and a bunch of tables for her puzzles; and some nice dining facility where they have a bunch of games and bingo. The aisles and hallways are wide; the rooms are nice, very neat, and clean. It’s like a big country place. It’s a nice, huge yard area where she looks out the window and sees pine trees and nice green grass. It has a big bird feeder outside her window; she loves to watch birds. She’s content there and she’s made some good friends. "

"My tour of Trinity Village was very good. The staff looked fine and were enjoying their jobs. The amenities were perfect. It had everything a senior would want, including transportation. The food was good and well planned. I wouldn't hesitate to live there. The living atmosphere was fine, but the location was a little far south for me. I never saw anything wrong."
