Overview of Stone Hearth Estates

Stone Hearth Estates sits in Gothenburg, Nebraska, and covers a lot of ground for one community. It offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Someone can start out in an independent apartment and, as their needs shift, move toward assisted living or dedicated memory care for Alzheimer’s and dementia. They don’t have to leave a place, or people, they’ve grown used to.

The community runs 65 beds and is home to 57 residents right now. That works out to 88% occupancy. Big enough for shared spaces and a real social life. Small enough that staff can still know residents by name.

The address is 110 W 20th Street. The neighborhood scores a 49 for walkability, which means a short walk covers a few nearby errands, but most outings need a car.

There’s also a Short Stay option: that helps families who need respite care or want a trial run before deciding on a permanent move. Ashley Johnson runs the community as administrator.

Nebraska’s Department of Health and Human Services inspects assisted living communities like this one. Over the years, inspection attention here has centered on staff training and credentials, how care is planned and documented, and resident rights. For a family in central Nebraska, the draw is plain: three levels of care in one building, so a move-in doesn’t have to become a move-out later on.
