Valley Lakes in Valley, Nebraska operates exclusively as an assisted-living community. Residents who use oxygen or who manage diabetes with oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin can be supported on site. The team is also prepared to work with individuals experiencing mild dementia, providing structure without the need for a secured memory care unit.

A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, with a nurse on call around the clock. Overnight, an awake night shift monitors residents, and each apartment is linked to a PERS system that alerts staff if help is needed. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, and toileting, while residents who can manage eating independently are encouraged to do so. Transfer help ranges from standby or supervision to one-person assists, and the community can accommodate walkers and wheelchairs. A visiting podiatrist handles routine foot care, and an activity director schedules daily programs to keep residents engaged.

Apartments vary but may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual climate control, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the room. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided. Not every unit has every feature, so it is best to verify the exact layout and amenities when touring.

Meals follow a set menu prepared by the culinary staff, with attention to standard dietary guidelines and physician-ordered modifications. Snacks are available between meals, allowing residents to maintain stable blood sugar levels or simply enjoy a light bite outside regular dining hours.

Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a movie room, a wellness center with internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a library, and scheduled transportation for errands and appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
