I am/was a resident of this facility

I was at Life Care during the heighth of Covid so I had to spend a lot of time in my room. Aimee literally got me walking again after a broken femur and a shattered wrist. I always ate in my room (due to Covid) and the food was amazing and always on time. Every morning, my favorite nurse, Duane, would gently wake me for morning meds. I am currently in a different assisted living because Elkhorn was full but I'm definitely getting on the assisted living list!!

The rooms are small but adequate. The food is excellent! The care staff is helpful and knowledgeable. The therapists worked so hard to prepare me to go home! I would not have been able to make it without the help and encouragement of Marissa, Kelsey, and the entire therapy staff. Stacy from the social work staff helped me a lot with anything related to insurance, future home therapy needs, etc. I must confess that Life Care Center of Elkhorn changed my concept of nursing homes (care centers). I would definitely rec…

Life Care Center of Elkhorn is providing my loved one's needs and they have added additional therapy to help with her condition. Unfortunately, her room is shared with another one, but that's all that Medicaid will pay for. Maintenance has all been fine. She hasn't had any problems with the food, especially because she is gluten-free, so she is on a special diet, but she's been fine. They accommodate her. I have not seen any activities. I think that's one of the downfalls, that there needs …

I would want the staff , both administration and nursing to have caring and compassion for my mother. I would like them to be more aware of a persons cognitive abilities and treat them respectfully. There were no activities or help to engage the residents so that their days had some fulfillment of enjoyment. The amenities that we were aware of did not come to fruition both because of covid and because i feel that that was a good excuse not to do anything.

The Therapy department was absolutely fabulous at Life Care Center, They would come and work with me sometimes twice a day to assist me with my upper and lower body. When I have needed something, the nursing staff is attentive to making sure I had what I needed. Kat and Susan were especially helpful in anticipating my needs. I have enjoyed the meals here especially after being in the hospital. When I would push my call light they were right here to assist when I needed something. If I need this kind care again I wo…

The staff here at Life Care Center, friendly, helpful kind and compassionate. The Therapy was by far the best I have ever seen. Susan RN is super efficient, thoughtful and brings treats around at night. Stays in the room to make sure I have taken the medicine. The food is good and I have had to reduce what I order. I have been counting calories so I have ordered lighter plates recently. If I needed to come back this would be my first choice!
