The Waterford Care Facility College View in Lincoln, Nebraska, serves as an assisted living and memory care community with 56 licensed beds, offering a range of care services for seniors-from those who are mostly independent to those who need two-person assist with things like wheelchairs or oxygen. Residents can choose between studio, one-bedroom, and some two-bedroom apartments, all with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, some with common areas and living rooms, and there are both furnished and semi-private options. You'll find many amenities throughout-there's a gym, spa, beauty salon, library, Jacuzzi, indoor and outdoor patios, walking paths, fireplaces in the common areas, TV rooms, and recreation rooms. The grounds feature gardens, enclosed courtyards, a swimming pool, covered porches, and plenty of walking space, so folks can safely enjoy outdoor time, get fresh air, or bring a pet if approved.
Residents get three meals a day with all-day dining available, along with special menus for allergies, diabetes, kosher, and vegetarian diets. There's a private dining room and an option for guest dining and room service, too. A regular schedule of social, religious, educational, and entertainment activities helps everyone stay engaged, like game nights, movie nights, Nintendo Wii bowling, musical performances, holiday events, and outings. The Life Enrichment Activity Program, story time, and sensory-based activities such as snoezelen are offered to support social and mental engagement. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available onsite, as well as medication administration, incontinence care, diabetic care, memory care with tailored plans, and support for daily needs like bathing, transfers, or dressing. The community has nurses on staff around the clock, nurse practitioners who visit weekly, as well as on-site physician services. Emergency call systems are in every room and common space, and entrances and exits are secure.
Housekeeping and laundry are handled weekly, with linen, personal items, and dry cleaning all covered. Transportation for appointments and outings is complimentary or available at cost. Parking is available for residents and guests, and high-speed WiFi and cable TV are provided free of charge. Support services also include mental health care, funeral services, VA benefits assistance, and help with finances or other costs. For spiritual needs, there are religious services both in the building and in the local community. The facility allows certain pets and strives to support a home-like, welcoming environment where residents can feel comfortable and safe. The staff are recognized for their friendliness and helpfulness, with a focus on dignity and compassion, and there's supervision and safety monitoring at all times. The Waterford Care Facility College View is locally owned and operated, part of the group including Williamsburg Assisted Living and Wilderness Hills Memory Care, and offers both short-term and long-term stays, adult day care, and hospice care. The community keeps a close-knit feel, and many residents like the friendly atmosphere, attentive care, healthy meals, and full activity calendar.
