Gateway Vista sits at 225 N 56th St in Lincoln, Nebraska, and covers nearly every type of care an older person might need, offering independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, respite care, home health care, and short-stay rehabilitation all on one campus, which means someone can move in while active and independent and stay through more advanced care needs, because the staff, including licensed professionals, handle everything from daily help like bathing and managing medicine to round-the-clock skilled nursing and specialized therapies for post-surgical, orthopedic, cardiac, and wound care, so residents don't need to move out unless they choose to. The place has about 60 units, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments-some have large balconies, and there are private suites for those in skilled nursing or short-stay rehab. Residents benefit from cozy meals prepared by a chef, with snacks too, and can eat in a dining room or café, get housekeeping and laundry done weekly, use covered parking, and bring their pets, because they let all pets in. There's WiFi, cable television, air conditioning, all utilities except phone included, and there's both open and covered parking for cars. The whole building is wheelchair friendly and secure, and restrooms are always available for residents and visitors.
For those who like to stay busy or need a bit more help, Gateway Vista offers a fitness center, pub, beauty shop, personal medical alert systems, whirlpool baths for relaxation or therapy, and a large calendar of activities designed to be social, educational, and fun, with award-winning programs keeping people engaged physically, mentally, and emotionally. Scheduled transportation gets folks to appointments and outings, so driving is never a worry. The memory care team focuses on safety and therapies that help with confusion or wandering for people with Alzheimer's or other dementia, and they've got special terms for their various services and amenities to help everyone understand what's available. Therapy services stand out, with on-campus Medicare-certified clinics, licensed therapists for physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and even unique aquatic therapy that uses water for gentle exercise and recovery, plus restorative care for those regaining strength, and wellness programs tuned to each resident's needs.
Gateway Vista's team includes full-time staff, trained aides, and on-site physician services thanks to Community Healthcare Partners, making regular healthcare easy. Home care services let trained aides come to residents living at home, for those who need non-medical companionship or support. The community earned a Silver Quality award from the American Healthcare Association and holds a Five-Star rating from Medicare & Medicaid Services, which means people have noticed the thoroughness and quality care here. Amenities also include a private dining room for special occasions and plenty of space for pets to stay close. They focus on comfort and community with open common areas, joyful staff, and a safe environment. Respite care options help folks who need a short stay after surgery or injury, and residents can choose daily, weekly, or monthly support as needed. The place strives to feel like home, and people can age in place as their needs change, with a strong support system, regular events, nutritious food, and access to many health services all under one roof.
