The Independence Houses At Coddington

The Independence Houses At Coddington sits in Lincoln, Nebraska, spread across six locations, and has been serving seniors for over 25 years under the guidance of Marsha Stork and the wider Emerald Care Company, also known as Emerald Care Co. This place carries a lot of options since it's built as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, or CCRC, which means seniors can move between independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, home care, and even hospice care as their needs change, so folks can stay in a familiar place as their care needs shift from just a little help to skilled nursing or even specialized memory care for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there's a dedicated assisted living building for those memory care cases, which can give families some peace of mind. The facility holds 16 licensed beds for assisted living, making it a cozier size where staff know all the residents by name, and the place operates with a round-the-clock support system for daily routines like bathing, personal care, medication management, transfers, and dressing. Seniors can take advantage of choices, whether they want home care, respite stays, or adult day programs, and if someone just needs to stay a short while, or needs extra help for the final stretch of life, options like respite care or hospice care are right there. The facility doesn't accept Medicare unless certified, but it is licensed and surveys are handled by local aging or veteran services. Amenities include cooked meals, laundry, a dining room, a housekeeper, ready-to-use rooms, a library, and activity spaces like a game room, fitness room, and wellness spa, and there's always some community-sponsored activities or events, including movie nights and games, and they have walking paths and a garden where folks can sit or stroll if they want some fresh air. There's an emergency alert system for safety, maintenance-free living, and move-in help to make settling in easier, plus regular social gatherings and a strong sense of community, made to help seniors feel connected and cared for. Memberships can bring extra benefits, news, reminders, discounts, and the business is involved with residential assisted living advocacy through the Residential Assisted Living National Association. The Independence Houses At Coddington doesn't have accreditation from the BBB, but its long business history, direct ownership, licensed services, and ties to Emerald Care Co. create steady, reliable care options for seniors and support for their families, aiming to make daily life safer and smoother as people age.
