Collington Life Care Community

Collington Life Care Community sits on a large campus with a six-acre lake and a fishing pier, where residents can walk on landscaped paths or visit gardens and a therapeutic garden, and you'll see lots of outdoor spaces, which are pet-friendly, including a dog park for those with canine companions, and the whole place is set up for safety and accessibility with emergency alert systems and 24-hour supervision. People can choose to live in spacious apartments, cottages, or villas in layouts like one-bedroom, one-bedroom with den, two-bedroom, or two-bedroom with den, and everyone gets access to housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, utilities, and snow and trash removal, along with a flexible meal plan with nutritious dining options served in restaurants, cafeterias, and common dining rooms, and special diets, like diabetic or allergy-sensitive, are always considered. You'll find on-site healthcare services at the Creighton Health Center, which has four neighborhoods for different care needs, from independent living to assisted living, skilled nursing care, and memory support in the dedicated Arbor neighborhood, so they really try to tailor care like non-ambulatory care, incontinence care, diabetic care, and medication management for each resident, and there are physician visits and nursing staff right on site. Collington is a Continuing Care Retirement Community and Life Plan Community run as a not-for-profit, and it's part of the Kendal System with a focus on Quaker values and diversity, where social, recreational, and wellness programs are plentiful, such as group activities, arts, music, lifelong learning, religious services in the church, movie nights, and resident-led clubs, while a pool, walking trails, accredited arboretum, and arts room round out the amenities. There's a barber and salon, a chapel, community shops and marts, and a big variety of communal spaces for relaxing or meeting friends, while devotional and spiritual programs are offered regularly, and transportation and parking are available for getting out to off-site activities. Residents can receive move-in support, short-stay respite care, and memory care in a secured setting, and all buildings and grounds are kept secure and well-maintained, so the community aims to keep things safe, comfortable, and engaging without being overwhelming or confusing.
