The Knolls Retirement Community in Lincoln, NE provides a single level of care—Assisted Living—supported by round-the-clock licensed nursing coverage. Residents who use oxygen or live with diabetes receive tailored oversight, whether they manage their condition with oral medications, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments, and mild dementia is accommodated through structured monitoring and care plans.
Beyond medical oversight, daily support is available for full-assistance bathing and some-assistance dressing, toileting, and eating. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to two-person lifts for wheelchair users, and walkers are supported as well. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff at all times, backed by an awake night shift and an additional nurse on call 24/7. Safety measures include background-checked personnel, door alarms, pull-cord systems, and personal emergency response units that signal staff immediately. An activity director coordinates cognitive and social programming designed for residents with mild memory loss.
Apartment options may feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable service, and residents are free to paint or decorate their rooms; however, not every unit includes every feature.
Meals are prepared to order, diet modifications are accommodated, and snacks are available throughout the day. Independent Living participants can purchase a monthly meal plan and receive scheduled housekeeping, allowing them to enjoy communal services while retaining autonomy.
The campus supplies resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and wellness centers, a movie room, library, internet access, and communal gardens. On-site religious services, respite care, housekeeping, laundry, lifestyle programming, and organized transportation complement the activity calendar, and public transit stops are nearby. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
