Tabitha Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is dedicated to providing skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and long-term care services for seniors, particularly those recovering from surgery, illness, or hospital stays. The facility, located in the heart of Lincoln, acts as a flagship skilled nursing community within Tabitha’s extensive network of senior care services. Upon admission, every resident receives a personalized care plan within 24 hours, designed by an experienced nursing team to meet individual recovery goals or long-term needs. For those arriving after a hospital stay, Tabitha offers complimentary transportation—arranging for a wheelchair and any necessary medical equipment, like oxygen, to be brought directly to the hospital room and ensuring a smooth transition into the center.
Short-term rehabilitation at Tabitha is tailored for individuals who require expert management, observation, and evaluation during their recovery process. Residents benefit from state-of-the-art therapy gyms, where many receive one to two hours per day of combined physical and occupational therapy, five to seven days per week, as determined by their diagnosis and medical requirements. Speech therapy is also available if prescribed by a physician. Throughout the stay, the care team meets at least weekly to evaluate progress and adjust therapy as needed. The aim is to restore each resident to their optimal level of independence, guided by the skilled support and encouragement of Tabitha’s rehabilitation experts.
For those facing chronic illness, disability, or the need for ongoing assistance, Tabitha offers comprehensive long-term care. A dedicated nursing team assists residents with daily living tasks such as bathing, dressing, dining, and other personal needs. Residents also have access to social and care navigation services, physician services overseen by a medical director, engaging daily activities, and amenities such as an on-site beauty and barber shop, available for an additional fee. Long-term stay accommodations include comfortable double-occupancy rooms, while all short-term rehabilitation rooms ensure privacy for each resident.
Tabitha’s care model extends beyond nursing and therapy, promoting a continuum of care that adapts as each individual’s needs evolve. Residents and families work closely with a Tabitha social worker to create plans of care that support not only medical recovery but also social, emotional, and practical needs. Whether staying for a short-term rehabilitation or as a long-term resident, individuals benefit from access to Tabitha’s broad range of services, which includes home health care, hospice, respite care, and specialized memory care.
The community encourages residents to bring comfortable, loose clothing, essential documentation such as photo identification and insurance cards, and, for long-term stays, a few cherished personal belongings. The staff provides basic toiletries along with in-room amenities like TV and phone service, but discourages bringing valuables or large sums of cash. Residents’ health, safety, and comfort remain a central focus at all times—as is their ability to continue care with their own physician if desired and able, or under the guidance of Tabitha’s medical team.
Tabitha Nursing & Rehabilitation Center also encompasses a variety of living communities and care settings under its umbrella. In addition to its main Lincoln campus, the organization’s presence extends to locations such as GracePointe Assisted Living & Memory Care Suites, Journey House for End-of-Life Care, S²age Living, and outlying communities like Tabitha at Prairie Commons in Grand Island and The Gardens Assisted Living in Crete. This network ensures that as residents’ needs change, they have access to a full spectrum of senior care services, all rooted in Tabitha’s commitment to quality, individualized attention, and dignity throughout the aging journey.
