Hillcrest Health & Rehab

Hillcrest Health & Rehab sits right in Bellevue, Nebraska, serving seniors with a wide set of care options, and folks can also find other locations in Papillion, Lincoln, Gretna, Omaha, and Council Bluffs, so there's always a nearby choice for those looking to stay closer to family or friends. The place offers long-term care, skilled nursing, independent and assisted living, memory support, palliative care, and even hospice care, and for those who don't need to move in full time, you'll see outpatient therapy clinics, adult day services, and home health care as well. They accept Medicare and most private insurance plans, which helps families figure out how to get folks the care needed without extra worry, and 24-hour support is there for long-term residents needing ongoing help in a safe place. Some rooms are private, and others are companion suites, and those Magnolia Terrace and Magnolia Circle neighborhoods feel a bit more secure for folks living with memory concerns. Their rehab center-which also claims Omaha's largest gym for therapies-lets older adults recover from surgery or illness, with physical, occupational, speech, and aquatic therapies right on site, all with help from Hillcrest's in-house and dedicated clinicians. Dr. Anthony Hatcher, the Chief Medical Officer, leads a clinical team building personalized care plans for everyone, and the shared electronic health record system means caregivers keep track of health information the right way. Seniors at this place can relax in amenity spots like the indoor garden, aviary, and aquarium, and the family-style dining-including meals at the 1702 Bistro with made-to-order recipes from their executive chef-brings people together, while lounges, a retro 50s family room, a chapel, and an outdoor courtyard with a playground add some enjoyment to daily life. Hillcrest works with partners like Innovate Physical Therapy and Hillcrest Home Care for extra supportive services, and they focus on recovery goals so folks can regain strength and maybe go back home sooner. For those who need higher levels of support, the compassionate Hillcrest team is trained for dementia care and provides special programming as well as layers of care to match different needs. The community also brings in support groups and activities for everyone, so there's a bit of social time and family involvement too, and senior residents can move between different kinds of living spaces-from cottages and villas to the grand lodge-depending on how much help is wanted or needed, which makes finding the right fit a bit easier. Hillcrest follows strict Federal civil rights laws including HIPAA privacy policies, putting care and safety first. They want to help seniors age without worry, and while there's no single way to make everyone happy, the range of care options and commitment to thoughtful service means many families looking for help find what they need here.
