Memory Care
My loved one is currently a resident at Kinship Pointe Seward. Very friendly staff, nice residents(they are mostly Nebraska folk).The housekeeping is great, easy move in process (we did it in a day) then unpacked for 2. The meals are good enough and there are many options if you don't like what is served. I would recommend the facility to others. There is a waiting list to get in!
I can't say enough about your facility and how you have taken in my mother in law with welcome arms. I would recommend your facility in a heartbeat if someone is looking for a facility for their parents or lived ones. Thanks again.
My mom was previously a resident at CountryHouse Lincoln 3 and the experience was great. I felt like all was wonderful there. My mom was safe and well liked. They interacted with her in a positive way every time that I was there. They always communicated her needs or any issues like illness or falls.
