Leisure Village has served seniors in Edgar, Nebraska since 1984, with its business file opened at the Better Business Bureau in early 2005, and it runs two locations within town under the management of the Edgar Housing Authority. This senior care community offers both independent and assisted living services, so people who are in good health and want to live on their own can do so, while others can get support for things like bathing, dressing, and keeping track of medicines. Staff at Leisure Village work around the clock to help in emergencies and can also help folks move from beds to wheelchairs if needed, or help manage diabetes, including insulin checks. There are on-site maintenance and housekeeping services, so residents don't have to worry about repairs or cleaning, and nutritious meals are prepared for everyone, so cooking and meal costs are easier to manage.
Leisure Village has common indoor spaces for socializing and offers a range of activities to help residents stay active and connected; there are games, movement activities, and off-site events, and for those who want, off-site devotional services and spiritual gatherings are arranged, showing a focus on health in body, mind, and spirit. The community specializes in diabetic and incontinence care and can also support people with non-ambulatory needs. While pets aren't allowed, the community tries to make things comfortable with affordable housing options, some supported by rent subsidies tied to income, since it's a HUD-funded public housing property. The buildings are older, which means there might be a need for some updates, but people can find spaces that fit both single seniors and families. The owner, Phyllis Hand, and the executive director, Lana Horst, oversee the facility, with staff available for help every day and night, and they have a focus on safety and care. Leisure Village isn't BBB accredited but has long-standing experience providing places for seniors to live and get the right kind of help.
