Havelock Manor sits over in the historic Havelock neighborhood of Lincoln, Nebraska, right beside the senior center and close to banks, grocery stores, and a movie theater, and its small 25-bed setting makes it feel more personal since everyone knows neighbors by name and the staff always seem to have time for a chat or to help out. Residents get their own private rooms and bathrooms, and there's a homey look with spring flowers in the big front yard, a ramped entrance for easy access, a wide covered porch where folks like to sit, and plenty of clean spaces to gather or find a bit of quiet in the library or community room. Folks at Havelock Manor can join in on daily activities, arts and crafts, movie nights, and there's a schedule that includes community events, so nobody needs to feel left out or lonely, and there are lots of social things happening every day of the week.

Residents can pick from studio, single, or two-bedroom suites, and each has handy things like kitchens or kitchenettes, washers and dryers, regular housekeeping and laundry, and maintenance always on call.
