Elk Ridge Senior Living Community in Elkhorn, Nebraska, offers three levels of care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and a secure Memory Care program. Independent Living residents receive basic wellness checks and have access to staff 24 hours a day should they need assistance. Assisted Living adds regular nursing oversight, medication management, help with daily activities such as bathing or dressing, and coordination with physicians. The Memory Care neighborhood is designed for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia and provides structured programming, heightened staff-to-resident ratios, and continuous monitoring to promote safety and reduce confusion.
Additional clinical services include scheduled visits from physicians, podiatrists, and therapists, as well as onsite lab draws and pharmacy delivery. A nurse is available around the clock, and care plans are reviewed routinely to reflect any change in condition. Rehabilitation services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy can be arranged in the community, and transportation to off-site medical appointments is provided. An emergency call system links each residence to staff at all times, and routine wellness assessments help catch emerging health issues early.
Residents choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments. Features may include kitchenettes, roll-in showers, individual climate controls, and in-unit emergency pull cords, though not all accommodations have all of these elements. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are standard, and underground parking is available for qualifying Independent Living residents. Common areas include a library, fitness room, landscaped courtyards, and a salon, but availability can vary by building and care level.
The culinary team prepares three daily meals with entrée choices, and snacks are accessible throughout the day. Menus are developed with dietitian input to address diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered diets. Residents may opt for room-service style delivery when recuperating, and guests can purchase meal vouchers to dine together in the main dining room. Routine hydration checks, weight monitoring, and assistance with eating for those who need it help ensure nutritional goals are met.
