Overview of Oxbow Living Center

Facebook

Oxbow Living Center is located in Ashland, Nebraska, which is a tiny town placed right between the cities of Omaha and Lincoln. You can find this home at 1617 Bills Drive.

This place gives people two ways to get help, with one side for daily tasks and another side for people who have a hard time remembering things. Because the neighborhood has a walk score of 61, you can easily walk to the store to do a few quick jobs on your own feet.

The big building has enough space for 129 beds, but only 49 people live there right now, which means only about 38 percent of the rooms are full. Since there is plenty of extra space, anyone who wants to move in today will probably not have to wait on a long list.

Both kinds of rooms are inside the same building, so a person can start with a little help and then move to the memory side without ever having to leave their home or change their address. This makes it very easy for people to stay in the same place even as they get older and need more care.

Everyday life includes many rooms that everyone can use together, such as a church room, a room for play and exercise, a book room, a craft table, and even a hair shop. Most people eat their food in big rooms with others, but there is also a special small room kept just for family parties and big days.

People from the state come to check on things like how the workers give out medicine, if the helpers have the right training, and if the food is good and safe. To put it simply, Oxbow is a medium-sized home that helps many different people and has plenty of open spots for those who need a place to stay right now.
