Westgate Assisted Living

Westgate Assisted Living sits at 3030 South 80th Street in a quiet, central Omaha neighborhood, and it's a place focused on supporting seniors who need a little help with daily life, so you'll find registered nurses supervising care day and night and caregivers who help with things like medication, bathing, dressing, and grooming when needed, and the staff likes to know the residents they help. The building is part of Five Star Senior Living, which brings its own set of values and a home-like feel, offering private, semi-private, studio, and even two-bedroom apartments, all with emergency call systems and climate controls, so people feel both independent and secure, and for those coming just for a short time, there are furnished respite care apartments too. Seniors can bring their pets and choose from different rooms wired with cable and internet, and if someone prefers a kitchen, there are options for kitchenette facilities in the rooms. There's parking for residents, beauty salon and barber services, and a full cleaning and laundry service that comes around each week. Three restaurant-style meals are served every day, and they manage special diets like low sodium, vegetarian, and even kosher meals if requested, plus healthy snacks and specialty menus. People gather in the dining room for food or can have room service when needed, and there's always something going on, with group activities ranging from exercise classes like Tai Chi and Wii bowling to art, music groups, Bible study, book clubs, and even cooking clubs or lifelong learning lectures. There's a movie room, library, computer area, TV lounges, and outdoor patios and gardens where folks enjoy the weather or do some gardening, and the area's secure, so people feel safe while outside. The community includes a gym, a central fireplace, a chapel for on-site religious services, and transportation that takes residents to medical appointments, errands, or outings like day trips and live music performances, with offsite activities planned regularly. Westgate Assisted Living helps with health and wellness by bringing in physical and skilled nursing services, and provides hospice care if needed, making sure spiritual needs and philanthropy opportunities are also considered. The RN-supervised program adjusts to four different levels of care on the same campus, including help for people living with Alzheimer's, and there's Medicaid assistance, VA benefits help, and financial advice for residents and their families. They keep things safe with smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, and provide utilities like Wi-Fi and basic cable, with staff always around. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services help people keep their rooms comfortable, and maintenance-free living options are there for those who want less to worry about. Westgate Assisted Living won 'Omaha's Best Assisted Living' for several years from Omaha Magazine, which means neighbors and readers recognized the community, and the place is nestled near local medical facilities for any needed appointments. People who live here find ways to stay connected, participate in hobbies, eat together, and feel like they're at home, with staff supporting each person's independence while also stepping in whenever extra help is asked for.
