OUR Supported Living sits in Lincoln, Nebraska, with 16 licensed assisted living units, and it really sticks to helping older folks live with dignity whether they want a shared apartment, a cozy studio, or a private bedroom-some even having kitchenettes if you like your own snacks, though the community also fixes up regular meals in the dining room, covering everything from allergies to diabetes, so you can always find something safe to eat. They've got all the usual help folks sometimes need, like getting in and out of the shower, putting on socks and shoes each morning, or remembering medications, and they really organize personalized care plans, so no one gets lost in the shuffle, plus there's care for memory issues, Parkinson's, and continence management when that's needed.
If somebody wants to keep up a little independence but still have someone nearby, they're pretty good about that, since they provide 24-hour supervision, emergency alert systems, and wheelchair access, so you can have peace of mind and still feel at home. There's a lot to keep folks busy: a big game room for cards or board games, a library that stays pretty well-stocked, a theater for movie nights, regular activities and outings, and some quiet paths for walking and gardening if you like fresh air or digging in the dirt. There's even a hair salon, a snack shop for quick nibbles between meals, laundry and linen service, housekeepers who keep things tidy, and a beauty shop so you can get a quick trim. Folks can get health monitoring by an RN, therapy or massage services, plus support for diabetes and regular exercise sessions in a fitness nook, and when spiritual needs come up, they offer chapel services.
If you're moving in, they'll even help you coordinate and settle, which makes things a lot less stressful for the family, since they take care of the main details and look after everyone like they've always been part of the fold. The facility meets state licensing rules as ALF115, both with health codes and care certifications, and they're set up for long-term care with a smaller, neighborly community feeling, so it's not too big or loud, and most folks get to know each other well over meals or during birthday parties. Daily life means safety with emergency pendants, neat private and shared spaces, scheduled activities to encourage friendships, and all the small helps you might quietly need, from dressing to health checks, and there's always a special effort for folks who need care for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or just a hand with life's daily routines. With their care staff, meal options, and a good set of reviews from families and residents-ratings like 9.5 and 9.4 out of 10-folks tend to feel looked after in a steady and calm way that provides comfort and peace for seniors and their loved ones.
