Hillcrest Millard

Hillcrest Millard sits near the Millard Library at 132nd & Westwood Lane in Omaha, and it's a skilled nursing facility that helps folks who need care after surgery, illness, or injury, and you'll find that they offer both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care for seniors and aging adults. The building opened in late 2017 and provides all private, spacious rooms in two neighborhoods, with room service all day, restaurant-style dining, and meals prepared by an executive chef, which can be brought right to your door, and there's plenty of cozy indoor and outdoor spaces to relax, like the indoor sitting area and the Home Run Pub inspired by Rosenblatt Stadium, or if someone wants to look nice, they can visit the Sawmill Salon for hair services. The facility has earned an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and is known for good patient care, supported by positive testimonials and a focus on helping people recover as much independence as possible. There's a therapy gym with an occupational therapy suite and an outdoor terrain course, so residents can practice walking safely on different surfaces, and the therapists offer physical, occupational, and speech therapy every day, all under medical oversight by Dr. Anthony Hatcher, the Chief Medical Officer, and nurse practitioners from Advanced Mobile Medicine. Post-acute rehabilitation is the main focus, but long-term care, memory care, and hospice are all available too, and people staying there get support from Hillcrest Hospice when needed, with 24-hour staff and care for those who need it. Some residents stay a longer time, and while long-term stays are limited to a set number, every long-term resident still gets a private room, their own meal choices, a busy social calendar, and activities led by staff. The team can help with going home, too, through services like Hillcrest Home Care with skilled nurses and therapists, and folks can also get therapy in the community or outpatient therapy with Innovate Physical Therapy in Bellevue. There's also in-home personal care and certified skilled home health care, and for those not living at Hillcrest Millard, Hillcrest offers adult day services and a full range of care, from independent and assisted living to continuing care. The business side has a Chief Administrative Officer, a CFO, and a Director of Clinical Services keeping everything organized. Hillcrest Millard runs all day and night, accepts most insurance and Medicare for rehab, covering the first 20 days after a hospital stay, and they do allow family tours if you want to stop by, see the rooms, and meet the staff and residents. Average stays for short-term guests are about 14 to 22 days, depending on needs, and the facility plans to update its interiors in Fall 2025 with new carpet, flooring, and furniture to keep things comfortable. The whole operation is part of Hillcrest Health & Living and ties into other nearby communities like Hillcrest Shadow Lake, Hillcrest Health & Rehab, Hillcrest Firethorn, Hillcrest Country Estates Cottages, Hillcrest Grand Lodge & Villas, and Hillcrest Highlands of Gretna, so they can provide a full range of care, whether someone's looking for rehab after a hospital stay, help with daily activities, memory care, hospice, or even a safe place to spend the day and see friends.
