Meadowlark Pointe Assisted Living
Meadowlark Pointe Assisted Living is a 69-bed community in Cozad, a small town in south-central Nebraska, at 2300 Avenue O. It handles two kinds of care under one roof: assisted living and memory care. Each has its own activity schedule, and residents share a planned weekly meal menu.
The community is running well below its licensed size right now. For a family, that is worth knowing. It usually means you can tour without a waitlist, move in on your own timeline, and expect staff who are not stretched across a full house. Fewer residents per caregiver tends to show up in small, daily ways.
Cozad is a small town, and the setting reflects that. The area scores a 60 for walkability, so some errands are doable on foot. Most trips still call for a car. That is normal for a town this size, and families weighing the location should picture it that way rather than as a walkable city block.
The two care tracks are kept separate on purpose. Memory care residents follow a schedule shaped around memory loss. Assisted living residents have a different one. The weekly menu means dining is planned ahead, not thrown together day to day. State inspections here have focused on medication handling and on how the building manages its physical environment and any hazardous materials.
If you are looking at combined assisted living and memory care in a small Nebraska town, Meadowlark Pointe is a practical option, and the open availability makes it an easy one to go see in person.
