Overview of The Brant at Gretna

The Brant at Gretna offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Omaha’s Millard neighborhood. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication, while independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having all three care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time.

The community has 86 beds and offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom housing. A studio gives one resident a single private living space, while a two-bedroom layout can accommodate a couple moving together. Pets are allowed, so residents may continue living with their pets.

A Walk Score of 54 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to complete some nearby errands independently. Katie Nicodemus serves as administrator, and The Brant operates the community.
