About Cedarhurst Senior Living of La Vista

Cedarhurst Senior Living of La Vista offers assisted living and memory care in a single-floor, step-free building designed for ease of movement and peace of mind. It is described as La Vista, Nebraska's only senior living community offering both assisted living and memory care. Apartments include studio, one- and two-bedroom layouts as well as private suites, with private, wheelchair-accessible units featuring spacious bathrooms, kitchenettes, and 24-hour emergency call systems.

Care is personalized, with staff available 24/7 to assist with daily tasks and household chores while supporting residents' independence. The memory care program provides a warm, secure environment for those living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias, using customized care plans, familiar routines, and meaningful activities. The program has been recognized by the Alzheimer's Association for using evidence-based dementia care practices. On-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available to support recovery and mobility.

Dining is all-day, with seasonal, made-from-scratch meals served restaurant-style with flexible hours and rotating menus. Special dietary needs such as heart-healthy, gluten-free, low-sodium, or diabetic-friendly options are accommodated, and there is also an on-site snack bar for quick bites.

The community's Living TRUE program focuses on personalized experiences tied to residents' interests and sense of purpose, organized around seven dimensions of wellness—intellectual, spiritual, physical, environmental, creative and emotional, purposeful living, and social. Families are encouraged to stay involved and can use the optional Caremerge app for updates. New residents can also have a spouse, relative, or friend stay with them for the first five days at no extra cost through the Pair to Prepare program.

Cedarhurst of La Vista is pet-friendly, welcoming residents' pets and offering landscaped courtyards for walking outdoors. The community is located near CHI Health Midlands hospital, off Giles Road, with nearby access to the La Vista Walmart Neighborhood Market, dining options like Mama's Pizza and Culver's, and Tara Hills Golf Course, along with nature trails and opportunities for local shopping, dining, and volunteering.

For the most part real good experience for my mother,however woefully understaffed especially at night and i feel medical staff and home care staff could be better trained especially since this is an assisted living facility. I have more training as a home health care provider than your staff seems to have. The new activities director Emma is fantastic and Larry in the food service is great too bad he is handicapped by corporate because i know his cooking skills.

Mom has lived here since just after it was built. Beautiful facility, well maintained, caring staff that takes the time to interact with residents with genuine smiles and interest, regular activities and clubs and outings for shopping and to other nearby areas.
