Overview of The Heritage at Sterling Ridge

The Heritage at Sterling Ridge offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Omaha, Nebraska. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care.

Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care provides a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Because several care levels are available, the community can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time without moving to a different community. The Heritage at Sterling Ridge is in West Omaha and has 135 beds; pets are allowed, so residents can bring their pets. A Walk Score of 32 places the area in a car-dependent setting, meaning most errands require a car or a ride. Ashley Hinrichs serves as the administrator.
