The Residency @ Northfield Retirement Communities

The Residency @ Northfield Retirement Communities sits at 2100 Circle Drive in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, on about 19 acres right across the street from Monument Mall, so folks don't have far to go for shopping, movies, or dining out, with places like the North Platte Valley Museum and Farm & Ranch Museum close by, too, and the apartments themselves come in different sizes ranging from a 660-square-foot one-bedroom to a roomy two-bedroom with a den stretching up to 1,600 square feet, some with walk-in closets, patios, or balconies, and each has a full kitchen, its own thermostat, cable, and WiFi, so people can set things up like home, whether they're more independent or want extra help down the hall. The community serves those age 55 and up, offering independent living, assisted living in The Vista, memory care, and skilled nursing at The Care Center, with extra support for those needing help with daily activities, medication, or care for conditions like Alzheimer's, all under one roof, so when health needs change, people don't have to move far, maybe just down the hall instead of to a new place entirely. Residents can get services like housekeeping, meal plans with all-day dining, nursing call alerts, laundry, and transportation as part of the monthly fee, while amenities help people keep busy and connected-they can tend gardens, walk the paths, play billiards, read in the library, make art in the crafts room, catch a movie, take fitness classes, sing with the musical group, or join Bible study, wellness programs, and even go on winery tours, baseball games, or trips to local attractions. Respite care and rehabilitation are available for folks who only need a short stay, and pets are accepted under certain rules, which many like. There's room service, plenty of common areas, a chapel for religious services, beauty salon and barber shop, storage options, secure parking, garages, a café, overnight guest suites, and a shuttle for getting around, plus safety is a focus, with emergency call systems, locked garages, and licensed staff on duty 24/7. The community is non-profit and locally run, any profits get put back into making the place better, and the Life Care program helps protect residents from big jumps in long-term care costs, which gives some peace of mind. The Residency has a good range of activities with folks from all over Scotts Bluff County attending community dinners or events, so there's always something to do for anyone wanting company or quiet time, and the whole community's built to let people live independently but get help quickly when or if health changes happen.
