Memory Care Communities in Lincoln, NE

"We moved into Oxbow Living Center. The apartments are slightly larger than most of the places we looked at, and I like the people and the environment. The staff is very good. The activities are good, the food is very good, it's nice and clean, and we liked it. We haven't been here long enough to partake in the activities. They have a fitness center, walking club, coffee club, and they really stress getting acquainted with everybody."

"My mother is in memory care at GracePointe Assisted Living & Memory Care and she's getting the best care. So far, I've been very impressed with the staff. They all seem very efficient. Everything's going according to plan. Her room is just the right size, not too big, not too small. It has a refrigerator in it along with a sink, and a small kitchenette in her living room, which is also where her bed and everything's at, just kind of like one big room. She has a very large bathroom with a shower for bathing. The bathroom is huge. It's wheelchair accessible. They were large enough to facilitate people in wheelchairs. She's got two really good-sized windows. The memory care is on the second floor and it has a nice glass enclosure dayroom or sunroom where they have different activities. It also has a large eating area and it seems as though it has its own kitchen that serves just the second floor there. My mother isn't very active at the moment. If she was up for more things, they have more things for her to do. It's got a circle drive for loading and unloading. There are two handicapped sections for parking, about six or eight sections for visitors that is close, and an entire lot for parking. On the first floor, they have a library and it has a fireplace for sitting and reading in quiet. You pass it as you're heading toward the elevator. It's a secured building. You have to call to get in. Up on the memory care floor, there are electronic locks on all the doors, so it's secure. They have an activity room and there are some puzzles and different things. The food smelled great, and it tasted good. It seems expensive because we've never had to pay for it before, but it is right in line with the other facilities that we've looked at."

"I like Sumner Place Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation. They have an exercise room where you can do therapy. They have a nurse on staff all the time, which is the main thing. And they offer a lot more services for Dad. The staff was really good. She was really nice and very informative. I like the place. The building was so clean. The rooms were everything my dad would need."

"My parents used to be in Tabitha Residence Harbor House. It was beautiful, that's what I liked best. You felt like you were really doing the right thing for your loved ones, but when you get into it and you realize that there is no staff around, and when you can find staff, they're sitting around on their phones or computers. There's no music, no television, no activities, and people are just left. One gentleman was left at the breakfast table from morning 'til lunch, and we found medication on the floor. I found my mom with medication in her hand that they didn't want to take, and I said I didn't know if it was hers or somebody else's. They don't answer calls from my parents several times, because they have motion alarms on their beds. The last time I went in there weren't even any batteries in their motion alarms. I've never seen this sort of negligence in a facility with this type of reputation. They had a significant rapid decline, so the best thing I ever did was get them out of there. If you could find the staff, they were not responsive. I actually had one lady kind of laughing about the fact they found my mom on the bathroom floor. Her purse was gone from her room, and her wedding ring. There's just so much unprofessionalism when we moved out; they were hostile to us and our movers. It was just really uncalled for. Mom and Dad have very good long-term care insurance, and it was still $10,000 a month over. So it's unbelievably expensive. They said that they had all kinds of things that they would do with them, but they didn't. They never made an effort to get my dad out of bed. I would recommend for them to have a responsive staff and a responsive management. When things started going poorly, when we said we were going to move, nothing was communicated. Nobody contacted us at different times when Mom and Dad would fall, or if things would happen. It's just poor communication. They need some type of communication, they need accountable staffing and management. It's just so poorly run, and it's very disappointing because they have such a good reputation."

"The Knolls Retirement Community is wonderful. My sister's room is very nice. The staff is very nice, too. It doesn't have the feel of being a nursing home. My sister plays bingo. They also have singing, church streaming, entertainment, and baking. The community is very clean. The food is excellent."

"We toured AVIVA Woodlands. The amenities were huge, with lots of activities going on all the time, and lots of people out in the halls. They do bus tours for the residents and I think that's very positive. My husband is beyond that, but that impressed me. AJ was very, very nice. He has called me 2 or 3 times since to check up to see what they could do for us. Their menus were quite extensive, so that was a positive, too. It's a brand-new, beautiful building."

"My mother has moved into Legacy Arbors. It's a memory facility. I love the staff. This food is great. I have no complaints yet. I had a Thanksgiving meal there and it was wonderful. The staff is pleasant. The cleanliness is a five. I have been to exercise, walking groups, and crafts. They are constantly busy in the facility. The size of the room is very spacious. She's got plenty of room for one person. I'm very happy. I've been there as early as 8:00 in the morning and as late as 8:00 pm. Visiting hours end at 7:00. There's always staff available when I need help."

"We used Pemberly Place for Mom. She did memory care. It was awesome. It's a great place. The apartments were very nice. My interaction with the staff was great. The environment was excellent. I liked the location and their accessibility for us getting her in right away. It's a beautiful facility. They have great staff. It is expensive."

"Yankee Hill Village Home is a super clean facility that's on one level. It's very cozy and home-like. The staff is great, they make everybody feel very welcome from the very beginning. My mother-in-law is going into a memory care unit, so they're small but comfortable, and adequate for her needs. I don't want her sitting in the room all the time, so this encourages her to get out and be active with other residents and join activities. But at the same time, it's comfortable for her to just go in if she wants to be alone, or watch TV in her own apartment, then she's more than capable of doing that. The food was very good. It was a restaurant-style setting in the independent and assisted living area. And then in the memory care unit, it is family-style seating, so they get to be closer to each other and be able to have conversations while they're eating. It was quite a menu. They have a beauty salon, they have two in-house chapels, a wellness center, and they have a Friday afternoon club that they call Happy Hour with live entertainment. They also have various group activities as far as crafts, puzzles, and Bible studies. The staff has been absolutely wonderful and we're very happy with the facility."

"I visited Waterford at Wilderness Hills. It was fine, but I did not think mom would fit in very well. The apartments looked good. "

"My mom is in the Independence House in Lincoln. It’s a good, clean place to stay. She is very comfortable there. There are 17 beds and very personalized attendants. They have an RN on-staff there all the time who is able to talk to a licensed practitioner. We found the best place for my mom. She has a nice apartment with a bedroom, bathroom, TV, rocker, and recliner in it. The staff is very accommodating and excellent. They have two activity directors there on-staff until 7 at night and two other people who take care of them in the evening. So, their activities are very good and include outings once a week. It is very well set up, and I am very impressed with it. "

"I really liked Gold Crest Retirement. The staff seemed happy, and the rooms were big. There was physical therapy. They had a lot of things in house that I really, really liked. It was clean and it was inviting. I thought that it was really nice, they were really professional, and the people were happy. I was really impressed with it. The only thing I didn't like about it is that it was really out of the way for my family. They had a living room and then they had a bedroom. I can't remember the dimensions, but it seemed to be pretty comfortable. They were really kind and very respectful. It was during this COVID thing, and the staff was respectful of making sure that we weren't too close to them, that we all had our masks, and that we were aware of everybody's safety. They gave us the tour, and they were just very professional and very kind. I know that they had activities."
