Wel Life At Plum Creek sits over on 1505 N Adams St in Lexington, Nebraska, and you'll find a senior living community that has assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even independent living options, which means folks get care suited for what they need, whether help with daily routines or more advanced health needs like memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's. The place can hold up to 66 residents and has round-the-clock nursing care, so someone's always around to lend a hand, and there are nurses and support staff to help with medication management, bathing, dressing, or even more complicated care like diabetes training or pain management, oxygen therapy, incontinence help, and even pre- and post-operative support.
Residents do get three meals a day, plus snacks, and there's a dining room with all-day dining, plus the kitchen can handle special diets if needed for things like allergies or diabetes, and folks say the food is good and the staff serve up meals with a smile, which helps a place feel more like home. Now, in terms of activities, Wel Life at Plum Creek does plenty to keep people active and engaged, since they've got an activity director, social events, exercise programs, arts and music therapy, outings into the community, and pet visits, plus field trips, so there's always something going on, and there's things like movie nights and board games or a library and game room if someone prefers quieter pastimes.
There's help with grooming and personal care - a barber and beauty shop on site - and the common areas mean people can gather and chat, play cards or just relax. It's a pet-friendly community and cats and dogs are around, and family pets can visit, which people often enjoy. The building's set up for folks with mobility issues, with wheelchair access, handicapped bathing, and service to meals, plus locked doors for safety but everyone can get around as needed. They do home safety checks, and they provide housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning, which takes a load off folks' minds.
Healthcare is central here, with case management, access to dental and podiatry care, pain management, and more specialized help for conditions like Parkinson's, C-Diff, and wound care, and if someone needs hospice, pre-hospice counseling, or short-term respite stays, those are available too. The association with Plum Creek Care Center and WEL-HOME Health of Lexington means additional care, including rehab, adult day services, and skilled nursing, and if you just need outpatient rehab, they've got that as well.
Security is thought of, with lock and key facilities, emergency alert systems, and around-the-clock supervision, so families can rest easier. Folks can pay privately, by insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid, and military benefits can be used. People can smoke if they want (in designated spots), and internet and Wi-Fi is on hand for staying connected or entertainment like TV and computers, and the rooms come in different sizes, both private and semi-private, some furnished, which gives residents some choice.
Wel Life at Plum Creek lets people attend nearby religious or spiritual services, and there are regular devotional programs and trips for those who want to explore their faith. Transportation's set up for doctor's appointments and errands, and hospitals and clinics aren't far if something urgent happens. You'll often see the staff recognized for being cheerful and helpful, quick with a joke or some kindness, which isn't always guaranteed in every place, but does set a tone that makes a difference. All in all, Wel Life at Plum Creek covers a lot of bases for seniors who want to keep some independence but need support, in a place where activities, meals, safety, and healthcare are made part of daily life.
