The Best Independent Living Communities in Scotts Bluff County, NE

"We have 1550 square foot 2 bedroom, 2 bath duplex. Amenities are stainless steel appliances, hardwood and carpeted floors. The master bedroom suite includes a large walk-in shower, and a huge walk in closet. A well designed laundry room is close to the master bedroom. The living area includes the living room, kitchen, and dining area. We have a front and rear patio. We opted for the buy-in option for the duplex, which provides that our monthly fee will never increase. We have bi-weekly cleaning service, weekly lawn care, and snow removal as needed. There is 24/7 maintenance should we have any problems. Lunch is provided daily in the dining room with open seating. Dinner is provided Monday through Friday. One meal a day is free. The wait staff is fabulous. Office staff is also top notch. There are numerous activities throughout the week...a game room, library, exercise classes, and numerous off campus activities are scheduled. The most important aspect of the buy-in is that The Residency is a non-profit organization, meaning that residents receive a sizable tax refund every year. Your actual cost of living is very low because of the tax refund. Last, but not least, the community at The Residency is phenomenal. You become family (the good kind) immediately. The Residency insures that your retirement needs from independent living, to assisted living, to finally critical care are provided with caring, friendly, professional staff."

"Heritage Estates was better than the other one I toured, but it's also more expensive. They had everything anybody could want. The one gentleman who gave me the tour was OK, he was polite. Their facilities were good, they have a dining room, the libraries, and exercise rooms. They play bingo, they have trivia, they have a TV room if you don't want to watch it in your space, and they do trips and shopping. They have, in the independent living, the duplexes."
