Freedom Village in Bellevue, Nebraska is structured for residents who are largely independent and do not require dementia care. The community operates as an independent-living setting where residents manage most of their own routines and health needs but retain access to staff oversight and coordination with outside medical providers when necessary. On-site personnel monitor resident well-being and facilitate transportation or scheduling for physician visits, therapies or other clinical appointments, ensuring continuity of care without the constraints of a licensed nursing unit.
Daily living assistance is available on an as-needed basis. Staff members who have completed background checks can step in to help with bathing, eating, dressing and toileting for residents who request that extra support, and they can assist with walker or wheelchair transfers. This arrangement allows residents to remain in their apartments while receiving targeted help rather than comprehensive nursing services, matching the independent-living model the community follows.
Accommodations range from studio to larger apartment styles. Some units feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, in-unit laundry machines, independent temperature controls and cable connections, and residents are permitted to paint or decorate their rooms to suit personal preferences. Not every unit contains every feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to confirm the specifications of the apartment they are considering.
Dining is handled in a central community dining room that serves set menus and accommodates common dietary requests. A private dining room is available for residents who want to host visiting family members or celebrate special occasions in a quieter setting. Meals are planned to support balanced nutrition and are served at consistent times to fit the rhythm of an independent-living schedule.
Freedom Village provides resident parking, is wheelchair accessible and permits pets. It is a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Shared amenities include an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, concierge desk and library. The staff also organizes special-interest clubs that give residents structured opportunities to socialize and pursue hobbies.
