Ridgewood Rehab & Care Center

Ridgewood Rehab & Care Center sits in a peaceful Seward, Nebraska neighborhood, and people might find the building has a cozy-cottage look with touches that remind you of sunny farm days, and there's a focus on simple comforts and familiar surroundings. Residents can choose from studio, semi-private, shared, or companion rooms, and they'll get help with personal care, healthcare, household chores, meals, and laundry if they want it, while nurses' aides, LPNs, and RNs all work around the clock, along with onsite medical staff for nursing care and emergencies. There are planned social and recreational events, chapel and spiritual options, and folks can get help with medication, daily activities, and enjoy amenities like wireless internet and cable TV, which is handy when someone wants a quieter day or to stay connected. Ridgewood offers short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and long-term retirement care, and has additional programs like therapy (physical, occupational, and speech), restorative programs, wellness sessions, and even outpatient therapy if needed, plus Alzheimer's and Dementia care, respite stays, hospice, adult day care, and social services which sometimes brings real comfort to families during harder times. People who want to keep a piece of their independence but still need a safety net sometimes like knowing there's supervised support, emergency call systems in place, and housekeeping and laundry included. Ridgewood partners with Vetter Senior Living and has earned multiple top ratings, a 5-star Medicare rating, Silver and Bronze National Quality Awards, and a Great Place to Work certification, which says something about care standards and commitment. The campus is new and nationally recognized, with a unique "household" design aimed at helping both the body and mind, and Ridgewood focuses a lot of attention on memory support, including options for both Alzheimer's and Dementia, in a setting where there's always help nearby but someone's dignity and privacy gets respected. People can also tour the amenities by photo, and the staff aim to support each resident and their family on good days and tough ones, working to make things easier and safer. Simple things like the warm environment, award-winning track record, access to skilled nursing, therapy, transportation, and a wide range of specialized support give Ridgewood a reputation for steady, reliable care in Nebraska.
