Cherry Corner Estates sits right in Red Cloud, Nebraska, and offers retirement living with assisted living and memory care all in a well-kept, homey setting, where up to 18 seniors can have private or shared apartments, bring their own things, and choose the living style that fits. Most people there pay privately or use assisted living insurance benefits, but a limited number of studios are Medicaid approved. The place has staff awake 24/7, and an on-call registered nurse, and everyone keeps a close eye on security both day and night, so folks can have peace of mind and stay as independent as they want. Residents get all meals, snacks, and special dietary options-even if they've got allergies or diabetes-eaten in a well-lit dining room or in private dining areas for family parties and gatherings, and there's help with laundry, cleaning, and maintenance, so there's no worrying about chores like back at home, and you can just settle into the easy, slow pace.
Everyone can go to the beauty and barber shop, use the fitness center, join therapy or fitness classes, take part in games, arts and crafts, or relax in the library or activity rooms-or even head outside to the manicured garden paths, the greenhouse, and the outdoor decks, either with company or during outings and picnics that get scheduled. Each room or unit gets emergency call buttons, and there are extra safety features for folks in the memory care community, like exit alerts and secure outdoor areas. Folks who need a little extra help can get assistance with dressing, bathing, medication, eating, spoon feeding, and reminders for daily routines, and there's support for surgery recovery, Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, and non-ambulatory care, so most people can stay at Cherry Corner as their needs change, and still have a good bit of independence.
Every apartment, whether a studio, shared, or a one-bedroom unit, is ADA compliant with private baths, and all utilities are included, so bills are simple, and internet's available, too. There are all-day snacks, a spacious area for movies and TV, and a computer room for learning classes. Residents and their families take part in birthday or holiday parties, scheduled social events, outings to town, and chapel services, and there's a pet-friendly policy. With move-in help, weekly doctor visits, on-site hair and grooming spots, and both reading lounges and activity rooms, there's something for anyone who wants to keep busy or just relax. The whole place tries to be flexible, affordable, and make life easy in a small, quiet community that really does feel like home, with caring staff and support always close by. Cherry Corner Estates operates under Nebraska license # ALF339.
