There's something about the small town of Fremont, Nebraska. Everyone knows one another. Wants to stay there. The strength of this community is reflected in an ideal place for the area's seniors: Shalimar Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Support Community, in business almost ten years. "Lots of people at Shalimar Gardens grew up together because of the small town of Fremont," says senior living counselor Beth Fikensher. "So many people know each other and are pleasantly surprised to learn some of their old friends are at Shalimar Gardens."

Although a feeling of community comes naturally to Shalimar Gardens, the establishment has also vowed to uphold this value in principle, declaring to serve the community both within and outside their building walls. The responsibility extends to individuals, as well, with a resolution to consider each resident unique and cherished.

The community is run by a professional management staff, with complete maintenance of building and grounds, including trash and snow removal.

Further, a registered nurse is on staff from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily along with 24-hour certified staffing.
