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.
