Brookestone Meadows Rehabilitation and Care Center in Elkhorn, Nebraska, delivers nursing-home care that is geared toward residents who need either short-term rehabilitation or long-term skilled support. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock, and the in-house therapy department provides organized Physical Therapy programs designed to help residents regain mobility, improve strength, and reduce fall risk. The center can also coordinate with outside specialists when additional therapies or diagnostics are prescribed.
Beyond the clinical basics, residents receive individualized care plans that cover medication administration, wound management, and assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, and toileting. Care conferences with families are held routinely to adjust goals, and on-site lab and pharmacy services help streamline treatment changes. Staff members monitor vital signs, track progress notes, and maintain direct communication with each resident’s primary physician to keep interventions timely and consistent.
Accommodations at Brookestone Meadows include a mix of private and companion suites. Rooms come furnished with a bed, nightstand, and wardrobe, and most have cable hookups, individual climate controls, and a bathroom that may be private or shared. Some units offer added features such as larger closets or in-room showers, but not every accommodation has all these options, so prospective residents should verify specifics during a tour.
Meals are prepared daily in the community kitchen under the supervision of a registered dietitian. Residents typically eat in a communal dining room, though tray service to the room is available when medically indicated. Therapeutic diets, texture-modified meals, and hydration stations are part of the standard program, and staff members record intake to ensure nutritional goals are being met. Seasonal menu changes and occasional themed meals add variety without compromising dietary guidelines.
Residents have access to an Activity Center that hosts exercise classes, games, and group events, as well as a Library & Computer Lounge for quiet reading, internet access, and video calls with family. Scheduled social programs, housekeeping, and laundry services round out the amenities designed to keep residents engaged and comfortable.
