Fountain View sits on S 108th St in Omaha, NE, and offers a quiet spot where seniors can choose from several living options, like independent living, assisted living, continuing care, memory care, and skilled nursing, so friends and couples with different needs can still feel close by, and the building has both furnished and unfurnished apartments, some with in-unit kitchenettes and safety-equipped bathrooms with grab bars and hand railings, which can be helpful for folks who need a little more support moving around each day, and it's good to know the place is pet-friendly, so you'll often see dogs or cats curled up by their people in private apartment homes or exploring the secured outdoor courtyard with its flowers and fountains. There's a pretty courtyard where residents can sit, chat, or just enjoy the weather, and the property itself is set up with wheelchair accessibility and strong Wi-Fi all over, so it's good for visits and keeping in touch with family near or far. Fountain View offers dining services that put out about 45 dozen eggs a week, aiming for meals that are both nutritious and taste like home, and they handle housekeeping and linens in some units, which saves a lot of steps for folks who prefer to spend their time on other things. About 1,100 miles get logged every month with transportation services, so residents can get to appointments or outings with ease, and there are always activities going on-with around 75 life enrichment programs sprinkled across the week, something's usually happening if folks want to join in.
Nurse care is on-call, which means help isn't far off if someone needs it, and the trained staff, especially those in the memory care section, know a lot about caring for people with Alzheimer's or dementia-they use special Montessori-based programs called Portraits® and Snapshots™ that help people stay engaged and comfortable, while memory care suites are arranged to keep residents safe and calm, lowering the chance of confusion and wandering. Seniors who choose assisted living can count on support with bathing, dressing, and medication, while those in independent living get a more hands-off approach and can come and go as they please, even bringing pets with them if they'd like. Recovery stays or respite care are available for folks who need some time to heal after a procedure, and there's a special effort to build relationships based on compassion, respect, and trust, which you sense in the way staff and residents greet each other. Home care services can also be set up by residents who prefer staying in their apartment with companionship and some non-medical help. In all, Fountain View focuses on helping everyone enjoy a safe, social, and friendly place to live, tailored to different stages of aging and backed up by staff who've seen a lot and care about the details that make life easier and calmer.
