Liberty House-Wahoo

Liberty House-Wahoo in Wahoo, Nebraska, has been around since August 2005, run by Liberty House Wahoo Inc., with Christina Thomas as administrator and owned by John L. Pinkerton and Rachel R. Pinkerton, operating under a corporation with a solid record and an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau even though it's not BBB accredited, and they keep things straightforward with 50 assisted living beds in a one-story, T-shaped building surrounded by mature trees and lit off-street visitor parking so there's no trouble dropping in, and they really focus on caring for seniors, including adults with mental illness or disabilities, making sure staff are available and awake 24/7 to help with emergencies, moving from bed to wheelchair, and basic tasks like bathing, grooming, eating, toileting, and managing medication, and staff prepare all meals on site with nutritious menus planned by chefs and meal planners which takes one burden off residents and their families. They offer a mixture of assisted living, independent living, memory care, and dementia care, and they're Medicaid certified for the Aged and Disabled Waivers so that opens up care for more people. Rooms come in different styles including studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and semi-private options, with some private half baths and shared bathrooms designed with accessible bathtubs and showers so safety is at the front of everyone's mind. Everything's on one level, so people with wheelchairs or walkers don't face much trouble with stairs or steps, and there are plenty of indoor common spaces and meeting rooms where residents gather for activities planned to help keep minds sharp and spirits up, and the outdoor areas are pretty with landscaped grounds and trees that have been there a long time. There's an activities program full of social, educational, and fitness opportunities meant to help balance daily life, and families say staff are friendly which seems to make the place feel like a welcoming community, and staff help out by answering questions for families so everyone knows what's going on. Staff handle support for diabetic care, incontinence needs, mobility and transfer support, and help with non-ambulatory residents, and they're careful to keep up with safety and care standards set by the state through licensing. Community fees, respite options, and high, medium, or low care level fees alongside a buy-in fee and second person fee are part of their system to fit different care needs and budgets. The building's set up to foster a comfortable and secure feeling where everyone gets a chance to make friendships and keep active, with choices in personalizing living spaces, full-time support as needed, fitness facilities, social spaces, and group gatherings, so residents get both help and independence, and recent feedback scores the community highly, with an average rating of 9.6, which shows a lot of residents and families are satisfied with the care and environment over the years.
