Overview of St. Joseph Tower Assisted Living

St. Joseph Tower Assisted Living offers assisted living in Omaha’s Dahlman neighborhood. Residents live in apartments while receiving help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and taking medication. The community may be a good fit for a resident whose savings may not cover a long stay because Medicaid is accepted.

There are 110 beds, and Sherry Butler serves as the administrator. Restaurant-style meals give residents a dining setting for their meals, while transportation to medical appointments supports attendance without requiring separate travel arrangements. A Walk Score of 63 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, so a resident who no longer drives can complete some errands on foot.
