"Brighton Gardens-Omaha is a great facility. My mom has lived in the memory care unit for almost 4 years. The staff are great. They are all caring and from my observations they always treat their residents (including my mother) with loving kindness and compassion. If something happened to me and I had to live in a care facility - Brighton Gardens would absolutely be my first choice in Omaha. "

"They had a nurse at Bickford of Omaha who would assess what your need was. It seemed to be run pretty well, and it seemed pleasant. I only looked at their small-sized apartment because that is what my mother was interested in and it had more stuff than she wanted. It had all of the kitchen stuff too -- besides just the bedroom -- and enough room to put chairs for guests. It had a large bathroom and a large closet. The people who worked there seemed really nice. I didn’t notice anything that was a problem there. I was just there twice, and in my 2 times being there it seemed fine. I would have had my mother live there, but she didn’t want to go anywhere. "

"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."

"We have placed my mother here. We have visited the place as we were moving her in, but we haven't since then because they're on lockdown. My mother has been there for three months now. The place is wonderful. They have fireplace right on the lower level. She is on the second level. We are very happy with the place and the staff members are good. My mother has an apartment that has a living room, a small kitchenette, bedroom and a bathroom. They have lots of activities. They have bingo and games. They have a beauty salon and close to the beauty salon is a room that has snacks, ice cream and popcorn, which is nice. My mother is a very picky eater but she said the meals are very good."

"I went to visit the House of Hope Alzheimer's Care. I was very impressed with the facility and the couple of people that I talked to there. It looks like an ideal spot, but my problem with it was that it's quite a ways from where I work. Their rooms were very adequate and very nice. Everything seemed very well cared for and perfectly maintained."

"I toured The Brant at Gretna. It was beautiful. I would have gone there had it been closer. It's not that far. It's just off the beaten path, the way my kids go. I did have food there, and the food was very good. It has a meal plan similar to the other facility, where you're allowed so much towards meals every month with your rent. And then, if you have more, you pay for some. You can get two meals a day. They had a washer and dryer and a smaller kitchen, not as big, which was fine with me because that's part of my problem. I'm tired of cooking, but the apartments were about the same. The person who took me around was good. She called back about a week later and wanted to know if I wanted to come and see it again. She was very good at her job."

"Marquis Place of Elkhorn is very clean, they're very friendly, and I think they take really good care of my mom. She's kind of particular about the food. I've heard good things about the food, and she'll say she doesn't know what it is some days, but she's just like that. It's a very nice facility. Part of the problem is that it's $5,300 a month, so I won't say it's value for the money."

"Amelia Senior Living is a smaller place, so they take really good care of the residents there. They know everybody and they are more into personalized care. I like that mom's room is cozy, and that it's real light and bright. They have a library, a puzzle room, a sunroom, and a courtyard. So, they have a lot of different amenities there. They also have game nights, Sunday sundaes where they have ice cream sundaes on Sunday evenings for snacks, have rosary every day on Monday through Friday at 3 o'clock, and church services on site. Those were the things that were important to her. The food there is like homemade food. It's really good."

"My brother was previously at Westgate Assisted Living. He never complained when he was there. He loves bacon and they almost always have bacon for breakfast, so he thought it was great. He never complained about the food there. From what I observed, not only with my brother, but with others, the staff interacted in a very friendly and helpful manner, and that was food staff, cleaning staff, and everybody. The room he had was great. I think you have to bring your own furniture in, but he had a bed, a desk, and a recliner. He had a little coffee bar and a refrigerator, so you could put things that you wanted in. It was very well kept up and very nice. I liked the atmosphere and the staff. The facility was modern and very good. The most important part in any place like this, I believe, is the staff. They were excellent. I can't think of anyone that I ran into that was anything, but cooperative. I know they had things like the family can come in and play bingo and things like that, and it was great. My brother just was not one to take part in a lot of activities. The price was not that horrible compared to nursing homes; it was just about a third of the price. It was well worth it because you could get help if you needed it."

I thought the living atmosphere was high quality, and the dining area was very clean and well organized. Activities appeared to be pretty comparable to other facilities. There seemed to be a range of social opportunities if they choose to do so."

"I don't know what others have seen at Skyline but my experience was totally different!! The people that live there are very well taken care of and the place looks very nice and clean. The entrances can be confusing but once you know your way around its not a problem at all and definetly no reason not to send your loved one there. Our loved one was recently there for a rehab visit and there care and rehab was top notch. The new owners have really started to turn the place around. Its nice to have a facility in the Benson/Omaha area that offers great care. We don't have to send our loved ones all the way across town to receive quality care. Thanks for all you did while our mom was there!! "

When trying to decide how to pay for assisted living, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living.
