Tabitha Health Care Services provides senior care all across Nebraska and has been doing so since 1886, running as a nonprofit with a strong focus on helping older adults live with dignity, independence, and joy, and with over 450 employees they manage quite a few locations, with a main campus in Lincoln, regional offices in York and Grand Island, and local campuses in places like Lincoln's Williamsburg neighborhood, Crete, Grand Island, and spots in Nebraska City and York, so they're pretty spread out. Working together with Immanuel, Tabitha offers home health and hospice care in the Omaha area, supporting families through tough times with services like the Journey Hospice House, where people can get pain management and therapies aimed at improving their quality of life, and for those who want to stay at home, they deliver warm lunches and daily safety checks with the Tabitha Meals on Wheels program, as well as skilled nursing care and all sorts of therapy, from physical and occupational to speech-language, plus medical technology support for people who need that extra help.
Seniors here can choose between independent living, assisted living, memory care, long-term communities, rehab, and serious illness support, and there are special programs for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, so folks can get the right support without leaving Nebraska, from very independent places like S²age Living in Lincoln or Prairie Commons in Grand Island-where everything's maintenance free with lots of amenities-to more hands-on communities such as The Gardens in Crete or GracePointe in Lincoln, which offer assisted living with help for everyday needs like bathing, medication, and getting around town. Memory care is available at places like GracePointe and Prairie Commons, and if someone needs frequent help or full-time nursing, Tabitha has traditional and residential-style long-term care at their facilities in Lincoln, Crete, and Grand Island, so there's always somewhere to go as needs change.
Tabitha supports caregivers, too, with respite care so people can take a break, and the medical group practice in Lincoln deals with family medicine, has psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, and providers like Dr. Paul Plessman, and it's all set up inside a hospital for easy access to pharmacy and free parking, plus telehealth visits if getting out isn't easy. Tabitha likes to try new things, so they've brought projects like the Green House Project for unique elder living, and offer a full line of services designed just for seniors, including skilled rehab after hospital stays, bereavement support after loss, counseling, general home care, hospital beds, and basically the whole continuum from independent living all the way through hospice. They've won the Nebraska state quality award, so people can know they've kept their standards high, and at the end of the day, Tabitha stands out mainly because they cover nearly every type of care an older person might need as they age in Nebraska.
