Stone Hearth Estates

110 W 20Th Street, Suite 400, Gothenburg, NE 69138
Overview of Stone Hearth Estates

Stone Hearth Estates sits in Gothenburg, Nebraska, and covers a lot of ground for one community. It offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Someone can start out in an independent apartment and, as their needs shift, move toward assisted living or dedicated memory care for Alzheimer’s and dementia. They don’t have to leave a place, or people, they’ve grown used to.

The community runs 65 beds and is home to 57 residents right now. That works out to 88% occupancy. Big enough for shared spaces and a real social life. Small enough that staff can still know residents by name.

The address is 110 W 20th Street. The neighborhood scores a 49 for walkability, which means a short walk covers a few nearby errands, but most outings need a car.

There’s also a Short Stay option: that helps families who need respite care or want a trial run before deciding on a permanent move. Ashley Johnson runs the community as administrator.

Nebraska’s Department of Health and Human Services inspects assisted living communities like this one. Over the years, inspection attention here has centered on staff training and credentials, how care is planned and documented, and resident rights. For a family in central Nebraska, the draw is plain: three levels of care in one building, so a move-in doesn’t have to become a move-out later on.

Overview of Oxbow Living Center

Oxbow Living Center is located in Ashland, Nebraska, which is a tiny town placed right between the cities of Omaha and Lincoln. You can find this home at 1617 Bills Drive.

This place gives people two ways to get help, with one side for daily tasks and another side for people who have a hard time remembering things. Because the neighborhood has a walk score of 61, you can easily walk to the store to do a few quick jobs on your own feet.

The big building has enough space for 129 beds, but only 49 people live there right now, which means only about 38 percent of the rooms are full. Since there is plenty of extra space, anyone who wants to move in today will probably not have to wait on a long list.

Both kinds of rooms are inside the same building, so a person can start with a little help and then move to the memory side without ever having to leave their home or change their address. This makes it very easy for people to stay in the same place even as they get older and need more care.

Everyday life includes many rooms that everyone can use together, such as a church room, a room for play and exercise, a book room, a craft table, and even a hair shop. Most people eat their food in big rooms with others, but there is also a special small room kept just for family parties and big days.

People from the state come to check on things like how the workers give out medicine, if the helpers have the right training, and if the food is good and safe. To put it simply, Oxbow is a medium-sized home that helps many different people and has plenty of open spots for those who need a place to stay right now.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Nebraska Medicaid cover memory care?

Nebraska Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 110 memory care communities in Nebraska. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
