Bickford of Omaha - Blondo sits in a quiet suburban part of Omaha, Nebraska, right off Blondo Street, close to a church and near the OPPD Arboretum, and there's something comfortable about how the building looks with its stone and brick, a covered front porch with wicker rocking chairs and bright flowers, the American flag waving out front, and all the rooms inside feel like home because you'll find cozy sitting areas filled with soft chairs, natural light coming through big windows, and inviting touches like blankets, lamps, and fresh flowers. The place welcomes seniors with a variety of needs because they offer assisted living, memory care, and independent living options, and they help folks with daily activities, too, so if someone needs a little extra help, they'll get it, and if they're dealing with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, there's a special "extra level" of memory care, plus a thoughtful group of caregivers close by who really watch out for everyone, taking care to make sure each person gets seen, heard, and respected.
Bickford of Omaha - Blondo is part of a family-owned company with more than 30 years in senior care, and you can tell by the way the staff-who always seem to be around-try to help residents live healthier, happier, longer lives, which they back up with the HigherPath health model where a proactive team tracks health and looks for ways to keep people feeling good.
