Overview of Lakeside

Lakeside is an assisted living community at 17475 Frances St in Omaha, Nebraska. Serving residents for 28 years, it has been established as a longstanding option in the area. Assisted living provides a supportive setting where occupants are helped with daily activities: meals, bathing, and medication management, while being as independent as possible.

The Lakeside neighborhood is somewhat walkable, scoring 46. This means some nearby services are reachable on foot, but most errands and activities demand transportation. This suburban setting radiates a quieter residential feel while still providing easy access to local amenities. Like other assisted living homes, Lakeside underscores building an environment where occupants can receive personalized care while enjoying community life with neighbors. The smaller scale of an assisted living setting often captivates families who prioritize individualized attention and a more intimate daily culture versus larger senior communities.

If you’re contemplating Lakeside for yourself or a loved one, touring in person is the best way to get a sense of its daily atmosphere, meet staff, and see available rooms and common spaces. Visiting is a chance to interrogate about specific services, activities, and care approaches most relevant to your situation.

Overview of Sumner Place

Sumner Place is a 104-bed nursing home in Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, administered by Kaitlin Clegg and operated by VSL Lincoln Sumner, LLC. Operating continuously since 1975 and holding 65 awards and achievements, the facility provides skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, respite care, and Alzheimer’s and dementia services, accepting both Medicare and Medicaid.

Staffing exhibits mixed performance relative to state benchmarks. Registered nurses deliver 39 minutes per resident per day, 9 percent below the Nebraska average of 43 minutes. Licensed practical nurses provide 40 minutes per day, 7 percent below the state average of 43 minutes. Nurse aides work 2 hours 42 minutes per day, matching the state average of 2 hours 46 minutes. Weekend total nursing hours reach 3 hours 32 minutes per day, at the state average of 3 hours 37 minutes. Weekend registered nurse coverage reaches 47 minutes per day, 62 percent above the state average of 29 minutes. Physical therapy provision is notably constrained at 1 minute per resident per day, 67 percent below the state average of 3 minutes. Occupancy runs at 91 percent with 95 residents in 104 beds, above the Nebraska state average of 70.3 percent, suggesting strong community demand.

Sumner Place’s inspection trajectory reflects documented improvement. Earlier inspections documented deficiencies centered on life safety and fire safety issues such as fire doors, sprinkler systems, and emergency lighting, alongside isolated concerns about medication administration and infection control. Complaint investigations were predominantly unsubstantiated; some citations involved delayed abuse reporting and late investigative report submission. The facility has recorded no fines or enforcement actions with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health. The inspection on March 13, 2025, found no deficiencies and confirmed licensure renewal compliance. This pattern indicates meaningful remediation over time.

Available quality measures show limited data. Long-stay residents experienced emergency department visits at 0.86 per 1,000 days, 56 percent better than Nebraska’s 1.95. However, hospitalizations occurred at 1.91 per 1,000 days, 6 percent worse than the state average of 1.80. No penalties have been assessed in the past three years. The facility’s occupancy and decades-long operational history reflect established community presence.

Families considering Sumner Place should ask administrators directly about physical therapy capacity and rehabilitation protocols given the below-average physical therapist hours per resident.

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.

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 109 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.
