Providence Place of Hastings sits at 3507 W 12th St in Hastings, Nebraska, and has a pretty wide range of care services for seniors including assisted living, independent living, memory care, nursing home options, and continuing care, which means folks can get extra help if their needs change while they're living there. Residents get help with daily tasks, bathing, dressing, getting around with wheelchairs, medication management, and personal care like spoon feeding or help with walking, and there's always trained staff around, so there's someone to help day or night. The community pays special attention to people living with dementia or Parkinson's, with individual care plans, specially trained staff, and memory care features, and the MJ Signature Program supports these services along with things like family counseling or RN health checks.
Now, as for where folks live, there are furnished rooms-including private and shared apartments, even some with kitchens or kitchenettes-so there's privacy and comfort, plus things like cable TV, internet, pull cords in case of emergency, washer and dryer access, and safety features to help people who might have mobility problems. Housekeepers take care of the cleaning and laundry, so no one has to worry about chores, and laundry or linen change is just part of the regular routine.
Meals are served in a communal dining room and can meet allergy or diabetic needs, so people who have to watch what they eat can still enjoy meal times, and there's always the chance for people to cook if they want in their own spaces. There's transportation for appointments and outings, so folks without cars don't have to miss anything, and the parking lot has space for family or friends to visit.
The grounds have gardens and walking paths, making it easy to enjoy time outdoors, and people can visit the spa or sauna, get a massage, or spend time in the fitness or wellness room, which is nice for keeping active, plus there's a beauty salon or barber shop on-site for haircuts. For folks who like to stay busy, there's always something going on-from movie nights, live entertainment, music, arts and crafts, and education programs to a game room for cards, bingo, or other games, and even computer and technology classes. The library is big and quiet, perfect for reading, and the business room has space for anyone who needs it, while Wi-Fi is available so it's easy to stay connected. Family can always find support or counseling if they're feeling the strain of caring for someone, and the community has guest parking for visitors.
