Via Christe Assisted Living and Memory Care sits in Omaha, Nebraska, in a quiet neighborhood with big shady trees and paved paths for easy walking, and the community is locally owned and operated, with a focus on a family-style atmosphere and Christian values, which you notice right away, especially during mealtime when they serve three homemade meals a day and snacks in a group setting that feels comfortable. The building has an interesting past, since it's the old Foxley Building from Duchesne College, built in 1962, now renovated into a four-level community with about 41,150 square feet and enough room for up to 74 seniors. Residents can choose from one-bedroom or studio apartments, with private and semi-private options, all featuring bright windows, basic cable, Internet, all utilities, and comfortable layouts-some even have kitchenettes.
People find Via Christe specializes in supporting seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia, with two floors kept secure and safe for those who need constant memory care. Trained staff work around the clock to help with daily things like dressing, bathing, toileting, and medication, and they're known for working with families and doctors to set up personal care plans. There's always a nurse on staff, sometimes part-time and sometimes 24 hours, and caregivers help keep everyone safe, comfortable, and as independent as possible. There's respite care for seniors recovering from illness or surgery, which gives regular caregivers and families a break while keeping recovery on track. Staff organize many different activities, including arts and crafts, gardening, music, educational classes, and group outings, and special programs for those with memory concerns, even early onset dementia. Residents get regular spiritual support, with onsite and offsite devotional services.
The inside of the place has big sunlit rooms, common areas made for relaxing and socializing, Wi-Fi throughout, and an entertainment room, plus a computer room. Outside, there are well-kept patios, a garden, and walking paths for enjoying fresh air and nature. Services include housekeeping, laundry, and linen changes several times a week, transportation to appointments or outings, and onsite beautician services. Family support is available too, with Alzheimer's and dementia groups to help loved ones stay involved. Parking is on-site, and there's space for guests to visit comfortably. Most people say the staff go above and beyond helping residents feel safe and welcome, and feedback from residents and families is good, with an average rating of 8.7 out of 10. The facility, licensed as NE Assisted Living Facility #ALF304, offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care, all under one roof, with daily life focused on safety, health, and keeping everyone active and connected.
