Madison House Assisted Living in Norfolk, NE provides one primary level of care—assisted living—with clinical support scaled to individual need. The community admits residents for long-term residency as well as respite or short-term stays, and staff members are trained to manage diabetes through routine blood-glucose checks, diet monitoring, and insulin administration. On-site medical capabilities extend to high-acuity oversight, medication management, memory care programming, non-ambulatory assistance, and professional incontinence services. These resources allow many residents to remain in the building rather than transfer out for changing health needs.
Complementing the medical support, Madison House assigns personal care assistants to help with bathing, dressing, and other daily activities. Cooking services are available for residents who prefer staff-prepared snacks outside scheduled mealtimes, while pet-focused programs encourage interaction with companion animals as part of daily routines. The team coordinates care plans with outside providers when necessary and reviews each plan regularly to keep services aligned with resident goals and health status.
Accommodations range from studio layouts to larger floor plans, and not every unit contains every feature. Select apartments include kitchenettes, private baths, ground-floor access, wheelchair-accessible showers, or built-in Wi-Fi and cable. Common areas—both indoor and outdoor—feature a central fireplace, library, piano lounge, butterfly and hummingbird garden, meeting spaces, and uncovered resident parking. All living areas are climate controlled, handicap accessible, and supported by secure internet, with staff available to handle maintenance requests.
Dining follows a restaurant-style model with a professional chef preparing three daily meals plus anytime-dining options. Residents may choose low-sugar, low-sodium, vegetarian, or international dishes, and room service is available for those recovering from illness or preferring privacy. Communal seating encourages social interaction, while a private dining room can be reserved for family events. Outdoor barbecues and picnics are scheduled seasonally, and guest meals can be arranged with advance notice.
Daily life is rounded out by an activities calendar that includes arts and crafts, educational speakers, trivia games, live-well fitness sessions, tai chi, stretching classes, and Forever Fit programs. Residents can join gardening clubs with raised garden beds, attend live music or theater performances in the on-site movie room, or participate in wine tastings, happy hours, and holiday parties. Day trips, intergenerational programs, community service outings, and birthday celebrations add variety, while cooking classes, art classes, and live dance events provide additional engagement opportunities.
