Hillcrest Country Estates Cottages

The Cottages at Hillcrest Country Estates are the first and only freestanding nursing households in Omaha and are a national model for “culture change” in long-term care facilities. Each of our eight Cottages is home to 13 “elders” (residents) who benefit from 24-hour skilled nursing care services. Unlike traditional nursing homes in the Omaha area with long corridors and rigid schedules, our elders are welcome to enjoy the schedule they’ve always known. Our senior living Cottages are beautifully-designed houses that are the polar opposite of institutional. Whether your loved one enjoys waking early or late, a Cottage homemaker is prepared to custom-make his or her favorite breakfast. And what’s on the menu? Anything the elder wants, since we stock the kitchen with all of the elders’ favorite foods, and our registered dietitian ensures proper nutrition to meet the requirements of your loved one’s care plan. Lunch, dinner, snacks and scrumptious baked goods are all prepared right in the cottage by the homemakers (who are also trained elder assistants), and big meals are served family style, with team members joining their elders at the dining table. The Independent Living Cottage Apartments at Hillcrest Country Estates are the best kept secret in senior living! We offer a one-bedroom and two-bedroom cottage apartment on the 2nd floor of each skilled nursing cottage. These specially-designed apartments are approximately 1,100 to 1,200 sq. ft. and include a full kitchen with dishwasher, oven, microwave, refrigerator and disposal, plus a stacked washer/dryer in every floor plan. With all-inclusive, value pricing, these apartments include ALL maintenance and utilities – gas and electric with individual temperature control, water, sewer, trash pickup, WiFi internet, cable TV and even landline phone service! A Wellness Membership to the Grand Lodge includes access to the fitness studio, wellness studio, indoor heated saltwater pool and spa for a low monthly fee. Plus, you’ll have reserved parking near your front entrance and the option to purchase a dining plan in the Cottage below.
