Emerald Court sits at 315 W 33rd St in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, where folks can find an assisted living facility that's got 21 beds and puts a lot of focus on people living with Alzheimer's and dementia, so people who move here get care that's made for their own needs and abilities, and families find comfort knowing that for more than twenty years, the staff have worked at treating people with dignity while helping them keep their independence as much as possible. Memory care here comes with safety features-doors stay locked all the time, and there are surveillance cameras in the common areas, and the staff participates in two Alzheimer's training sessions every year to help handle the many behaviors and problems that can come with memory loss, and folks can expect the staff to be friendly, kind, and helpful because the place has been recognized for that. The resident-to-staff ratio is about 4:1, and a majority of the staff serve as medication aides, so help with medicine and daily needs is always within reach at any hour, with a nurse available 24/7, and workers can help people move from beds to wheelchairs, which matters a lot for people who can't walk as easily anymore.
There's regular diabetic care, incontinence care, and non-ambulatory care, so residents who need close monitoring can stay safe and comfortable, plus housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning services happen on schedule, so residents can focus on enjoying the place instead of chores. Most people live in private or semi-private rooms-studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom options-and the atmosphere tries to stay homelike, with home-cooked meals that get planned by chefs and nutritionists for a balanced diet, and meals happen together in a dining room, with attention paid to special diets for people with allergies or diabetes. For those wanting to move in, there's move-in coordination available, and families can choose from different care needs fees (high, medium, and low) and different ways to pay, including private pay, Social Security, commercial insurance, and veteran's benefits.
Emerald Court holds regular activity programs, many of which win awards for keeping residents engaged and satisfied, and schedules things like movie nights, library time, fitness classes in a wellness room, spa time, walks on paths or in gardens, devotional opportunities, beauty salon visits, and offsite trips to help keep people's bodies and minds active. Folks who enjoy games can visit the game room or spend time in furnished common areas set up for social time. The facility runs both on-site and community-sponsored events to add some spark to daily life, and with staff around twenty-four hours a day, parents and kids don't have to worry that their loved ones won't get help if there's an emergency, especially with the emergency alert system all through the building. If someone wants to bring a pet, Emerald Court is pet-friendly, which can mean a lot for people who don't want to give up their companions.
There's a focus on supporting independence and dignity, whether someone still enjoys a fair amount of activity or needs consistent assisted living support with things like medication, bathing, dressing, transferring, or just getting through each day, and people with memory challenges find comfort in routines and familiar faces. Over the years since 2000, the place has become known for providing dementia and Alzheimer's care in a safe, secure, clean environment, all with the goal to make life as calm and homelike as possible. The facility includes both independent and assisted living options, plus some home care for folks who'd rather live at home but need companionship and simple help, so people who choose Emerald Court find support wherever they are on the path of aging. The whole thing, from the beauty salon to the business room, fitness room, and meals planned for health, works together to give residents choices-while keeping a careful watch out for everyone's health, safety, and personal dignity.
