Overview of Tabitha Residence – Cove House

Tabitha Residence – Cove House sits at 6120 S 34th St in Lincoln, Nebraska, part of the broader Tabitha organization. It is a 50-bed nursing home with a moderately walkable address (Walk Score 61) and a care list that includes nursing, memory care, hospice, assisted living, home care, and respite care. That range is wider than most single buildings carry, which likely reflects the Tabitha campus structure rather than all services being available in one wing.

The number that tells you the most about who lives here is the average length of stay: 850 days. That is nearly two and a half years. Short-stay rehab residents exist, but this is not primarily a transitional facility. The 65.2% occupancy means space is typically available.

Staffing is where this profile stands out concretely. Residents get 5 hours and 9 minutes of total nursing care per day, with registered nurses logging 1 hour and 19 minutes of that, nurse aides contributing 4 full hours, and LPN/LVN staff adding another 20 minutes. Those aide hours in particular are well above typical. Programs include transitional care, rehabilitation therapy, and Meals on Wheels. The facility runs 24-hour staffing with licensed nurses and CNAs on hand.

The building has a chapel, salon, bistro, café, wellness center, transportation, and daily wellness checks. Chef-prepared meals are served in the dining room.

Payment covers Medicare and private pay. For adults needing long-term nursing support, memory care, or hospice services in Lincoln, Tabitha Residence – Cove House is a staffing-heavy, long-stay facility with a full campus of support services behind it.

Overview of St Joseph’s Hillside Villa

St. Joseph’s Hillside Villa is a 54-bed nonprofit nursing home in rural West Point, Nebraska, managed by the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity. The community concentrates on extended-care residential needs, generating a long-term average length of stay of 414 days. Admissions connect with Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay clients, though the resident census leans heavily toward private-pay sources at 63%. Operational logs show the facility functions as a mission-driven, small-community care setting that is currently navigating a steady financial recovery.

Government health archives highlight an excellent regulatory history paired with top-tier staffing depth. Daily direct care times average 5 hours and 23 minutes per resident, tracking 24% ahead of the Nebraska baseline to rank the facility 10th highest out of 117 homes statewide. Registered nurse hours run 37% above the state norm, reinforcing daily clinical oversight. This personnel investment aligns with strong permanent-resident outcomes, where charts show hospitalization rates 27% below average and physical functional preservation scoring 28% better than the state benchmark.

Oversight files note a total of just two citations over an eight-year window, which sits 96% below the state average, with zero history of federal financial fines or consumer complaint investigations. The most recent routine state inspection in March 2024 turned up zero deficiencies, while an older 2019 life-safety check noted only minor building items like unsealed wall penetrations and unlatched smoke barrier doors in a mechanical room.

Prospective residents exploring regional skilled nursing care or long-term chronic support can review these public monitoring records to evaluate the operator’s clinical baseline. Since the state documentation confirms top-10 regional staffing volumes, a near-flawless historical inspection track record, and strong permanent-resident health outcomes, the paperwork details a highly stable, mission-focused care environment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Nebraska

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Nebraska?

Assisted living in Nebraska supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Nebraska?

Assisted living in Nebraska is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Nebraska Medicaid cover assisted living?

Nebraska Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Nebraska) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 180 assisted living facilities in Nebraska. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Nebraska?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Nebraska, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Nebraska?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
