Tabitha in Crete

Tabitha in Crete is a nursing home and part of the Tabitha Residences, offering care for seniors in a more personal, small-home setting, where each residence is home to nine to seventeen people so everyone gets plenty of attention and help, and they were the first in Nebraska to move away from large, old-fashioned nursing homes by making small, comfortable homes instead, and the caregiving teams help folks with all the daily things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and getting around, and there's always someone available day and night thanks to the 24-hour call system and emergency safety features, so people can feel secure. The suites are roomy with full private bathrooms and basic furniture like a bed, dresser, nightstand, TV, lamp, and phone, and the large floor plans make it easier for families to visit and spend time together, which is encouraged here. The houses at Tabitha in Crete look and feel like real homes, offering meals prepared in full kitchens that fit the residents' likes and dietary needs, with everyone having the choice to eat in their rooms or the community dining area, and laundry and housekeeping are provided for all the residents, so that's handled too. Each house has places for arts and crafts, walking paths outside, a garden, and even a barber or salon for simple comforts, along with regular movie nights, resident-run activities, and events from the local community, which gives everyone ways to stay busy but also have choice. Skilled nursing and long-term care are both available, including rehabilitation for those recovering from surgery or illness, home health care, memory care, respite care, and even hospice when needed, and they accept Medicare, Medicaid, and other approved health coverage. Tabitha has been helping Nebraska seniors since 1886 and is a nonprofit, focused on making sure people can age with dignity-so they also give advice about long-term care, family caregiving, and insurance if families ask. Special teams work with each resident to set schedules, choose activities, and plan meals around personal needs or health goals, making it all pretty resident-directed, and there's strong support for folks with memory problems. Tabitha in Crete is part of a larger network so people can find assisted living, skilled nursing, home health care, hospice, or independent living, all under one nonprofit group that's been at it for a long time, and they're known for compassion and the close attention they give to every individual, especially in these small-home settings.
