Chrisoma West Assisted Living sits a couple miles outside Holdrege, Nebraska, right at 1927 W 4th Ave, and the place has a quiet country feeling, though you're still close to town for shopping, medical visits, and other things folks may need, and folks living here can pick from several housing choices like independent living, senior apartments, condos for seniors, townhomes, or just a studio if that suits them, since there are 30 licensed beds and all sorts of apartment styles for different budgets and needs, including private suites if someone wants more privacy. The community's known for providing assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, companion care, and hospice care, which means folks who want to keep some independence but still need a little help with daily life-like dressing, bathing, or medication-can get that extra support without moving somewhere institutional. Staff use specific medical alert systems like Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT Medical Alert to help keep residents safe, and Chrisoma West has a bunch of safety measures, home security options, plus medication dispensers for anyone who needs help remembering.
Residents don't have to worry about housework because daily housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning come standard, and the kitchen staff prepares meals with diet needs in mind-serving men and women with allergies or diabetes right at the dining room tables, and people say the meals are tasty, sometimes even fun. There's transportation for medical appointments or shopping in Holdrege, which takes some worry off families, and the building has a library with WiFi, computers, and quiet spots for reading or emailing grandkids. Folks can find a garden, paved walking paths, a wellness and spa room, a game room, and common areas for crafts or just talking with neighbors, and the building itself is a comfortable two stories high, set up so everyone can get around safely. Activities keep the days interesting-movie nights, social events on and off site, fitness programs, and things to keep everyone's mind and body busy. There's even a campus chaplain for spiritual encouragement, and the "Caregiver Support" and "Senior Safety Guide" programs give a little extra help to both residents and their families to keep everybody informed and safe.
Chrisoma West gets licensed and surveyed by groups like the Department of Aging and Veteran's Services, plus quality standards from Medicaid or the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services where required, but regular assisted living care here doesn't accept Medicare unless certified. For those who need more support, memory care helps keep folks safe and calm with secure, locked spaces, and staff develop a plan based on what each person needs day-to-day, including help with personal care, medication management, and transfers. They've got 24-hour nursing, on-site therapy, and special care for health issues like diabetes or continence. The "Senior Safety Guide" is helpful for families looking for extra resources, and the community gives residents the right level of help without taking away their independence. Folks here seem to get along and find friends through shared meals, scheduled activities, and the friendly, laid-back setting, while the staff manages daily needs so residents can enjoy peaceful days in a supportive home that respects their privacy.
