Heritage Estates sits in western Nebraska as the newest skilled care facility built in 2006 and offers a variety of living options for seniors, so you've got choices like independent living, adult day care, assisted living, Alzheimer's and dementia care, short-term rehab and sub-acute care, and skilled nursing for those who need long-term care. The staff, who are trained and friendly, look after residents with different levels of need, from people who are mostly independent to those who need round-the-clock nursing care, and the place is Medicare certified, with a focus on healthcare and veteran services, skilled nursing, and many types of therapies, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, right there with their in-house therapy department. For folks needing help between hospital stays and home, Heritage Estates offers short-term rehabilitation, sub-acute care, and outpatient therapies, and for those needing extra support, there's hospice care and respite services. Their Alzheimer's and dementia unit provides a safe, nurturing environment with memory care activities to help with cognitive engagement, and the property uses a neighborhood concept where six individual neighborhoods, each with their own personality and care level, give the place a more personal feel.
Heritage Estates belongs to Vetter Senior Living and follows the Vetter Way philosophy, which means they work to make life dignified, happy, and comfortable for everyone who lives there, and staff focus on both care and the happiness of residents with specialized programs and services, whether someone needs skilled nursing or wants to stay active in independent living. You'll also find a good range of amenities for comfort and entertainment-things like a chapel, on-site beauty shop, nail manicurist, and massage therapist, which make daily life a little easier, and for social life, there are festivals, recreational activities, programs for kids, plus educational and entertaining events to keep everyone connected and living well.
Residents can choose from four different room styles, each with comforts aimed at making them feel at home, and the grounds offer areas for private or group activities, supported by a team that encourages independence but is always nearby if someone needs help. Heritage Estates has services for veterans, volunteer opportunities, and will even support day visits or adult day care if someone just needs assistance and socialization for a few hours. Tours are available, and they keep photos and updates on their construction and community for anyone who wants to learn about the place in detail. Care at Heritage Estates revolves around a simple goal-give seniors a safe, caring environment with help for whatever needs they have, while offering enough choices and activities that people really feel part of a community.
