The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Saunders County, NE

"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. "

"My husband and I moved into Elk Ridge Village Retirement Community in March. The minute we moved in, the residents and the staff have been exceptionally helpful. Various residents are extremely friendly. We liked it because of the size of the apartment. It's nice and comfortable and fits what we need. We have our lunch here in the afternoons, and usually enough to bring down what we have as snacks for supper. They were able to get us on the first floor, where we had a beautiful view of the lake. And we have a dog, so it's so handy to let her out the back. We're enjoying it. We've made a lot of friends here, and that's always important, to have friends and our families close by to this. So, it's just a perfect fit for us. They have exercise classes and they have games. In the mornings, there are some things you can do, exercise and such. But in the afternoon you don't have to be in your apartment very much if you don't want to. There's a lot of games always going on. They have a happy hour on Thursdays, and the first of the month is a cake for the month, whatever month it is, that's a cake for the birthdays. Then we have an ice cream social once a month. And so it's just a lot of things going on. We've not done a lot because we are just getting moved in and settled and we have had some sicknesses come up and kind of slow us down. But we're looking forward to being able to get out and join the games and things."

"I was at Life Care during the heighth of Covid so I had to spend a lot of time in my room. Aimee literally got me walking again after a broken femur and a shattered wrist. I always ate in my room (due to Covid) and the food was amazing and always on time. Every morning, my favorite nurse, Duane, would gently wake me for morning meds. I am currently in a different assisted living because Elkhorn was full but I'm definitely getting on the assisted living list!!"

"Pacific Springs Village is beautiful. It's a very high-end country club type of facility, which is not what we are looking for. The tour guide was just wonderful in explaining that Immanuel also offers two other tiers of service, and one would be like a middle price value, and then the third one is an even lower price value, and it also offered assisted living. I said to her it would be so helpful if the website indicated these various levels of care. They have independent living and assisted living in two separate buildings. However, these two formerly separate buildings are now connected with what they call a hub, so it's more a U-shape, and the common areas for both facilities are in that center section. The apartments were high end, had a good layout, and were first class. The staff was very personable, very informative, friendly, gracious, answered all my questions, and also offered other information about another tier of service that Immanuel provides. She was very helpful. The restaurants were lovely. They had three different restaurants that offer a variety of food."

"We decided to move to Eastmont independent living over 4 years ago. I am so very grateful we did. So many things that would be of concern in home-living do not exist here or are taken care of. We were thinking of the future and our premonition came true. My husband is in Meadowview Care Center, a skilled nursing care unit. The good news is that I can visit and/or stay with him any time without going outside in inclement weather. Whether I am with him or not, I know he is being well taken care of by the kindest caregivers. That is such a relief. I, too have access to immediate care with a 3-digit phone, pull cord, or verbally by Alexa. We call drop into each other via Alexa. Eastmont encourages and enables us to stay fit with their exercise programs. It is challenging, There are ways to walk a mile inside or outside. It is interesting to notice how much friendship there is between staff and residents, which enhances our feeling of security. Resident friends really feel like family. We both love music and we can still enjoy together Eastmont's musical and other events inside Eastmont's complex. I currently take him in a wheel chair. This summer we also went to an outdoor event. All in all, we could not have made a better decision than to make Eastmont our home. The key thing I want to add: it is important to make the decision to move before you have to, so that you can come in easily and have the strength and well to make and enjoy friends."
