Bickford of Omaha Blondo sits in a cozy suburban part of Omaha off Blondo Street, near a church and the OPPD Arboretum, which gives folks a chance to enjoy walks and spend some time in nature or just watch the seasons change. This family-owned senior community has over 30 years of experience and offers assisted living, independent living, and their Memory Care program, which supports people living with Alzheimer's and dementia through custom health plans, structured activities, and a carefully controlled environment, helping keep things safe and comfortable. The apartments feel home-like, with comfortable beds, dressers, windows that bring in natural light, and small touches like soft blankets, rolled towels, fresh flowers, and decorative tiles especially in the memory care spaces, including walk-in tubs that make bathing more relaxing and accessible. There's often a friendly caregiver nearby, ready to help residents with daily tasks, while keeping their independence in mind.
Meals at Bickford are cooked from scratch and served in a dining room set up with green linens and white napkins, creating a warm spot for everyone to gather. The community provides both indoor and outdoor areas for socializing and relaxing, with inviting spots filled with soft lighting, comfortable chairs, decorative accents, large windows, and French doors. Seniors get to enjoy on-site salon services for hair and grooming, as well as beautician and barber services, and there's a no-smoking policy for all indoor spaces. Pets are welcome, allowing residents to bring their companions with them, and resident parking is available for those who drive. Bickford offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, along with a podiatrist to help with health needs. There's a full calendar with social, educational, and entertainment activities, both on and off the grounds, meant to encourage friendships and keep days lively and interesting.
For spiritual needs, devotional services are held on site and off site, reflecting the belief in purposeful caregiving and serving as caregivers would want for their own relatives. The staff uses a senior health model called HigherPath to provide a safety net for residents' wellbeing. Medical support is close at hand with on-site nursing, doctor and nurse on call, and privacy in personal care. The building is wheelchair accessible, including showers, and the whole place stays smoke-free indoors. Residents who need extra help can get hospice or respite care.
