Bailey Pointe at Miracle Hills in Omaha, NE
5.0
We've utilized The Waterford for respite stays, and we loved it. We would have put my loved one there long-term except they don't have memory care. Even though the building is old, the people were so nice. The care was great. And the food was good.
Cedarhurst of La Vista
4.5
I think the staff is great. They love my mom and are super attentive and kind.
I know it's hard to mass feed healthy food- she doesn't think the food is bad- I just feel like more fresh food is important. I am personally not a fan of Ensure and those types of chemically created food.
