92 White School House Rd, Madison, ME 04950
Overview of Madison House

Madison House sits at 1120 North 1st Street in Norfolk, Nebraska. It’s a 46-bed assisted living community owned and run by Oxford Nebraska Capital LLC, with Candace Gibson as administrator. The focus here is straightforward: help residents keep their independence while making day-to-day care available when they need it.

The setting is walkable with a Walk Score of 82 that puts most errands within reach on foot, and a lot of everyday essentials sit close by. For family who stop in often, that matters. You can run an errand nearby or take someone out for a short walk without getting back in the car.

Madison House is a small place, and of its 46 beds, 22 are filled right now. Smaller usually means the staff knows each resident by name. Families who want something that feels less like an institution and more like a place people actually live often gravitate toward that scale.

State inspectors in Nebraska look at a few consistent things here: how care is planned and documented, how resident rights are protected, and how the community guards against falls and injury. What Madison House offers is one clear thing done with focus. Assisted living, in a small and walkable community, for families who want that in the Norfolk area.
