Highland Park Care Center sits in Alliance, Nebraska and you'll find that they keep their doors open 24 hours a day all week long, so folks always have access when they need it, and lately, they've gotten A+ on inspections with a consistent record of high grades over the years. The place runs as a non-profit, and the staff provides both short-term and long-term care, along with specialized memory care and support for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they even have a dedicated Memory Support Household, which holds 16 out of the 60 beds. There's a secure memory care unit, and you'll see private rooms designed with security and emergency features, plus people can look at a photo tour to see the amenities themselves.
Registered staff cover every shift, from nurses and LPNs to CNAs, therapists, social workers, a medical director, dieticians, and even pharmacists. Rehabilitation comes both inpatient and outpatient, with therapies like physical, occupational, speech and language, respiratory, plus restorative and recreational therapy, and that stretches out to hospice, respite care, and adult day care services as well. Highland Park Care Center holds a Medicare certification, takes both Medicare and Medicaid, and is recognized in the Five-Star Quality Rating System, and over the years since 1996 the center's gotten over 65 awards, including Silver and Bronze national quality awards, and recently a Great Place to Work certification for 2025 to 2026.
Customized care gets planned for each person living there, and they focus on medication management, personal care, home making, transportation if needed, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic options in their onsite pharmacy, care center, and therapy department. While there's no Resident Council or Family Council, their staff aims to keep things resident-centered, with a family-style approach guided by Vetter Senior Living. Folks staying there can join in on regular events-baking, card games, music, exercise groups, arts and crafts, movie nights, birthday or football parties, and even lunch buffets. Specialized options also include care programs, skilled nursing, day services for adults, and support for people who need extra help during the day, as well as support from social workers and pastoral care. Highland Park's known for steady, warm care with a personal touch, and though it's not a CCRC, it offers a wide range of therapy, skilled nursing, and special care for a variety of needs.
