Yankee Hill Village in Lincoln, NE offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, hospice care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. Independent living means private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living provides help with dressing, bathing, medication, and other daily tasks while the resident keeps an apartment. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Hospice care supports residents receiving end of life care, while nursing home services provide a setting for long term care. The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time because care can continue within the same community. Independent living, assisted living, and memory support are the available room and unit types, with memory support intended for residents who need the structure of memory care.

Yankee Hill Village opened in 1887 and allows residents to bring pets. Medication management helps residents receive support with prescribed medicines, while rehabilitation services support recovery or ongoing physical function.
