Assisted Living Communities in Fremont, NE

"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. "

"My stepmom decided to go take my father to Brighton Gardens. I also have my mother-in-law there. I know the community. They people working there are good. Right now, my father is sharing a room and he is in the skilled nursing. I eat there and the food is good. In the skilled nursing area, they all sit in one big dining room, which is fine so that they can talk to each other. The cleanliness is good and it is a caring community. I will recommend it to others. "

"I toured and it was very informative. I had no outstanding questions after the visit. I was able to take a look at a couple of different units. I got a fairly extensive review of the facilities. Overall, I was impressed with the tour. The staff did a good job. The rooms were fairly clean. Not everything was new. From what was described to me, they were trying to transform some of those rooms and get them up to newer levels. The one thing that really stood out were the shower areas. You had to step into the shower area, as opposed to just a true straight walk-in. The dining area looked nice. We went into one room where somebody was preparing arts and crafts. There were outdoor opportunities. There was an enclosed backyard or a courtyard with the capability of doing some gardening and walking. The other place they had (which I see in most places) was a nice big extended front porch with chairs out there, and I was able to talk with some of the residents there. They seemed to be enjoying their time outside under the shade on the porch."

"My mother is now in the House of Hope Alzheimer's Care Omaha. The place was bright and very clean, and the staff was very accommodating to all the questions that we had. I didn't see anything that would have me concerned, so far. Her room was freshly renovated with new paint and new carpet, it's very bright, open, and it's got two huge windows so there's a lot of light. I've seen the residents watching movies on TV in a large group setting, and I've seen their activity calendar. My mom had participated in some arts and crafts, movies, and talking to other residents."

"Crown Pointe was quite large. It's got two levels with stairs and elevators. The people that gave the tour were nice. They accommodated me and showed me everything. The dining area was large. There's a library and just all kinds of things. The one-bedroom was pretty nice and it had a little kitchenette in it. They also had a little patio with some tables outside. The staff was very nice, very informative, and very concerned with the residents. It was just a nice place."

"My father is real happy at Bickford of Omaha - Hickory. The people are really nice and polite, and if anything happens, they call you right away and let you know. They are a little bit pricey, but for the quality of care, it's worth every bit of it. I'm real happy with them. However, sometimes my dad is still hungry after eating, so they need to give him bigger portions."

"I was very impressed with Oxbow, and I liked it very much. We visited it several times. The facility was very clean. The rooms were very nice. It was like a real apartment, and it was for people who could pretty much take care of themselves. They ate together. They served cafeteria style -- family style, I guess that's what they called it. Everything I noticed had been good, and the people seemed to be happy. "

"My father has moved into The Heritage at Shalimar Gardens, and so far it's been really good. The staff is wonderful, cordial, and friendly. If you need anything they're more than happy to help you. His apartment has a tiny kitchen, a fridge, a microwave, a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. It's nice, and it's adequate for one person. He likes the food. I have seen people playing games, doing puzzles, exercising, and playing bingo."

"Edgewood in Fremont was an absolutely amazing place for my family. It started with the administration and trickled down into the direct care staff. Director Kayla and Nursing Director Amy were both extremely knowledgeable and were super heartfelt about making sure my mom was going to get the best care she needed. They also were very supportive to my family which was helpful. The communication that they all had with each other was refreshing. It is a small home-like setup and my mom was able to help them cook homemade meals and clean, all the things she was doing at home but just needed a little extra help. They were always doing something for an activity which I was able to see on their Facebook page. The direct care staff were a strong reason we also chose this place. They were trained well and very compassionate. My mom was able to bond with all the staff which made her feel even more at home. She loved that she wasn't just a number here, they knew her likes and dislikes and were able to really "customize" her care which helped us feel at ease also. My mom had a private room but a couple of her friends lived in the same room across the hall. Overall I would recommend Edgewood Fremont to anyone who has a need for memory care. The care they give can't be matched. "

"The staff at Life Care Center of Elkhorn are so nice, caring, friendly and compassionate. When I first arrived I did not know what to expect. I had great fear of lying down but a Physical Therapist encouraged me to try as they could help me. The therapists pushed me to work hard and have now become my friends. They came to my home to make sure it was safe for me to return when I could. Because of them I am able to get out of bed with out horrible pain. Dining staff was very helpful and would assist with getting what we wanted or needed. Nursing was helpful, kind and attentive. Everyone truly were very kind. I have had a great time visiting with other residents during meals as well! If I would have to do this again I would choose to come back to Life Care of Elkhorn. "

"I visited Saunders House. We liked the layout because it was built around a courtyard. The rooms were very nice. The person who took us on a tour was very nice, too. However, they had room avaliable for 30 residents but only had 17, which was a red flag for us. We couldn't pinpoint why they weren't full because it seemed like a very nice place, the people were friendly, and they seemed to have quite a few activities. The dining area was fine, too. They had craft and fitness rooms and a lot of things to do there. The staff seemed fine and very friendly. "

"Liberty House is an easy going and a relatively clean facility. It was referred by a doctor. The people there seemed relatively calm and happy. They have individual rooms. The room that my sister is in is like a hotel room and she is comfortable there. It's pretty spacious. So far everything is fine, but I like to see more security. I would like to see that the doors are checked and locked because the type of facility that she was recommended by the psychiatrist to go into. There was just a little too much freedom. I would definitely recommend the place for assisted living, but not if they have severe emotional, psychological, or schizophrenia. "

"I recently was given a tour of Ridgewood by Holly. She came in on a Saturday for me, as I have no time during the week and was bombarded with the stress of finding my parents a new home ASAP. Holly sat with me for over two hours. She gave me a tour and introduced me to the other staff. Ridgewood was amazing and needless to say, I'm moving my parents there. Knowing that my parents are going to be happy and well taken care of, makes me extremely happy. "

"We absolutely loved Elk Ridge Village. They have been very welcoming to us and it’s in the area that we wanted my parents to be in. It just worked for the whole family so we are very pleased. They will be in the independent living and they will have a beautiful 2-bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. My mother has dementia, so we will eventually have to move her into the memory care unit which they have right there in the facility. It worked out great although they have not moved in yet but they are getting ready to move in hopefully within the next three or four weeks. The food was great. They have certain things you can choose each day, but if there’s something you don’t like they will make whatever you want. If you’re unable to make it down to the dining room, they will bring the meals to your room. They will do grocery shopping for you if you need it or they will provide transportation for you to go get groceries. They have 24-hour medical care, and they will be wearing medical alert around their necks. They have exercise rooms, church services, and everything you could possibly need. "
