Shackley Retirement Village sits at 1202 Liberty Drive in Lexington, Nebraska, and provides a place for seniors who want independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all in one community, so you have options as needs change and if someone needs help after a hospital stay or needs more support every day, they've got that covered too, including transitional care and swing bed services, and there's the Avamere at Lexington area offering both independent and assisted living nearby, as well as the Morrison and Morrison and Wel-Life At Plum Creek, so familiar faces and friends aren't far. There are eighteen apartments, with one-bedroom and two-bedroom units set aside for those living independently, and room choices range from studios to private and semi-private layouts, with added storage if you need it, plus security's always thought of, as all entry doors stay locked with a buzzer system, and hospital staff monitor an urgency call system around the clock. Residents have all their utilities covered except for phone, cable, and internet, and meals are served daily, including a hot, well-balanced noon meal seven days a week, so you don't have to worry about cooking, and housekeeping comes by every month for a couple of hours.
Shackley welcomes people with different health needs, from those needing just a bit of help with bathing or meds to others who want memory care or diabetes support, and staff stay available at all times to help in case of emergencies or to help someone move between bed and wheelchair. People here also have access to laboratory, radiology, family medicine, outpatient, and surgical care right on campus, like cardiology, wound care, pain management, and a host of other specialties, so you won't need to go far for most things. There are communal areas and a large common room where you can see friends or join activities, exercise in a fitness area, and join in on activities both in the building and off-site, which can make the days pass easier when you're looking for ways to stay active or social.
Devotional activities get held on and off-site so folks can continue to take part in spiritual gatherings, plus there's nearby access to a range of churches and community services for anyone wishing to worship or get involved outside the building, and transportation services help people get to appointments or events. The meals are prepared for you, the laundry and housekeeping keep things tidy, and the staff provide non-medical support, like helping check insulin or manage incontinence if that's needed. Costs depend on the level of care, with fees for different services and types of apartments, and the community takes payments like private pay, social security, veteran's benefits, or insurance. Pets can't stay here, but the indoor spaces stay welcoming and comfortable, and the living environment aims to be social, hassle-free, and suited for folks who like to be active while having extra support available, in a 55+ retirement setting.
