Elk Ridge was very good, very clean, and the longevity of the staff was very good. The people were very friendly. They had a salon, exercise, and games. The dining area looked great.

Most helpers are helpful and willing to change if desired. Appreciate frequent request to pick up trash. Wish name tags were longer and easier to read.

I can only say good things about this group of cheerful and well qualified group of people. If you have questions they will find answers. I have yet to see any impatience with us older people from your staff. The young men and women wait staff are wonderful and the cook tries hard to please. I have been here six and a half months and have no regrets!

I have had four family members cared for at Elk Ridge assisted and independent living. Although this can be a difficult time for the family, the loving care that was and is still being given to them has been a huge blessing. The employees are family to us and the facility truly is home.

The apartments at Elk Ridge were very nice, bright, very cheery, and fine. They had an activity room. The staff was very friendly and helpful, but we thought it was very expensive and that the distance from the room to the dining room was too far.

My mom is at Elk Ridge Village. It seems to be working out really good for her needs. She is in assisted living, and it is working out better than I thought it would. She seems to like the food. She has a one-bedroom apartment. It seems like everyday they have something going on for activities. The staff is very nice. The grounds are maintained very nicely. My mom likes to go out and sit outside on a bench.

We are impressed with Elk Ridge. The room would be nice if it was a bit bigger, but it is OK. The food is not bad. It can be a little bit better. My mother-in-law and my father-in-law get tired of the food, but we eat there occasionally, and the food is fine. So, I guess you just kind of get tired of the same old, same old. They keep them active.

Elk Ridge has provided my grandmother with a very positive and fulfilling living experience. I feel safe knowing that my grandmother is in the hands of the staff there. Each resident has an emergency call device that they wear as a necklace, but they are allowed to use it when ever they need assistance. My grandmother uses hers often when she needs to get out of a chair, and the nurses are always prompt to come help her. Elk Ridge also provides many activities for the residents, the activities that I am familiar with, are bingo, car rides, restaurant trips, church trips, and work outs. They also have a library and movie theater to keep them entertained. Their rooms are more like apartments than rooms, each has a bedroom, bath, and kitchenette. They are considerably spacious for an assisted living facility. I also am pleased with the meals that they feed my grandma. MY grandma has a hard time keeping on weight, and the meals they feed are not only good, but also nutritious, and vary a lot so she doesn't get bored. Overall I am most impressed with the staff, all who show genuine interest in the well being of the residents, even the teenagers who work there! They all know every resident by name, and go out of their way to converse with them. Overall, I couldn't recommend a better care facility in Omaha.

This facility is located in a west suburb of Nebraska. It is easy to get to, near Dodge Street, which is a main street. There is ample parking"”and the grounds are beautifully landscaped.
It's a larger facility with independent living, assisted living"”and a dedicated and secure memory unit.
The building is quite new and nice-looking, with many little inviting spots in the common areas that people use rather than opting to stay in their rooms.
Respite care is available both in the assisted living unit (for $130 a day) and in memory care ($175 per day) based on availability. For some potential residents, this may be a good way to assess whether the place is a good fit for them.
The director of nursing who was hired in the last year has already made specific improvements in the way information is shared and organized here.
The memory care is exceptional. The memory care unit, which has 12 rooms for residents, includes a communal room with a piano and couches and tables. Most of the residents stay in the common areas, which are open and welcoming"”and appointed with an aquarium. The staff here is especially good at providing engaging activities"”some particularized to memory care residents, some a part of the assisted living unit. Residents are encouraged to be up and out, but individual needs and wishes are also respected.
There has been very little staff turnover over the year.
The food is very nice"”brought over from the main kitchen. There is an emphasis on fresh meat and seasonal produce and in meeting the wishes of individual residents.
One of my clients, who has behavioral problems that often make him belligerent, is always treated with patience and respect. The caregiving staff is compassionate and skilled, and can accommodate nursing needs through death.
The assisted living apartments are very large and nice"”including a kitchen, bedroom, large living room area and some with decks. People move in and feel like they have a home.
The activities offered there are good and fitting"”and also quite varied and creative, including outings into the community. In fact, most residents seem to be social and active"”and to consider themselves part of a community. In part, this is due to the encouragement from the activities director, who really brings life to the place.
The care in assisted living is also good. The staff is able to gear up and provide different levels of care as residents' needs change. There is also a fairly seamless transition between independent and assisted living here if needed. Staff members also work well and easily with outside care providers, and are open with family members in providing feedback.
Elk Ridge is private pay"”although residents who have lived here two years before going on Medicaid can stay.
