Life Care Center of Elkhorn sits on Hopper Street in Omaha, NE, and serves people aged 55 and up who need different types of care, whether they just need a little help each day or require more advanced nursing or rehabilitation. The facility handles both long-term and short-term stays, giving families a safe place for loved ones whether the need is permanent or temporary, and provides chronic care, post-acute care, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, as well as care for Alzheimer's, dementia, and patients coming out of the hospital. They have assisted living, independent living, and skilled nursing beds, so people can move to different care levels as their needs change, without changing communities, and the team includes nurses, physicians, therapists for speech, physical, and occupational therapy, as well as a registered dietitian and social service coordinators. Social Work Director Tanya C., Executive Director Jared, therapist specialists, and front desk staff such as Ava work together to support residents and families, making sure someone knows what's happening day-to-day.
Life Care Center of Elkhorn offers many health-related services like oxygen, suction therapy, anodyne therapy, wound management, orthopedics, neurology, and special programs for Parkinson's disease using the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment BIG™ and LOUD™ method. The staff focuses on making care plans that fit each person's needs and goals, instead of giving everyone the same type of help, so some people just need rehabilitation to get back on their feet, while others need ongoing support for memory loss or physical challenges. The center gives people access to hospice, respite care, posthospital care, and resources for family caregivers who may need a break, and amenities here focus on keeping the environment safe, clean, and uplifting for everyone.
Visitors see a retirement community where it's possible to meet staff, tour the building, ask questions, and look at photos and videos showing life inside the community instead of guessing what it might be like. The organization, which is part of Life Care Centers of America, manages over 200 facilities across the country and employs thousands. Reviews for Elkhorn mention an average rating of 3.9 stars from 84 people, so experiences vary, and the staff work to support each resident's well-being with both regular and complex care. People in need of help with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, rehabilitation after an injury, or those just wanting a little extra support, find services that match those needs, and if a family wants to see the place before making any decisions, visits and tours can be set up to learn about care and meet the people working there.
