Cottonwood Villa
Cottonwood Villa sits at 450 South Main Street in Ainsworth, a small town in north central Nebraska. Walkability here is middling. The Walk Score of 51 means a resident or visiting family member can handle some errands on foot, with a mix of amenities within range of the address. This is rural Nebraska, though, and the pace matches that.
The community is licensed for 36 beds. Twenty-six of them are filled, putting occupancy at 72 percent. That leaves real room for new residents, which is worth knowing if you are searching under time pressure. Size-wise it lands in the middle for Nebraska assisted living: big enough for shared spaces and group programming, small enough that staff will recognize faces.
Prairie Investors, LLC owns the community. Ann Fiala serves as administrator. On the amenity side, residents have a spa and a beauty shop in the building, plus a patio and dedicated activities areas. That matters more than it might in a city. When personal care services are on-site, nobody has to arrange a drive to the next town for a haircut.
State oversight comes from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health, which inspects assisted living facilities on a regular schedule. Reviews here have touched on fire-safety systems, staffing and staff credentials, and dietary and food service. What Cottonwood Villa offers is a mid-sized rural community with on-site personal care, outdoor and activity space, and open capacity for families who need a placement in the Ainsworth area.
