I recently stayed at Gateway Vista for rehabilitation after a hospital stay. The facility was clean and the staff were very kind and professional. I enjoyed my therapy sessions that allowed me to get stronger and return home.

Very cheerful and helpful staff. It’s welcoming and the hidden treasure of Lincoln. I have a medical background, have had multiple friends that have lived here, along with myself, and love living at Gateway Vista!

I waited two months after my mother’s passing to write this review. I found the nursing staff to be wonderful. However, my mother was transported to the hospital on three different occasions due to injury and not one time did they contact me. I have over 30 emails, voicemails and text messages concerning my mother when she forgot to or couldn’t figure out how to electronically pay for her room. Upon her admittance i had a reclining chair to her room. While her room had a recliner it was not the new one i shipped. Finally, her deposit was returned to me two months after her passing with the check being made out to my deceased. I was informed that policy forbids them from returning the deposit in my name, and as a result to her bank account being closed gateway has kept the deposit. While this is not about the money it reaffirms the continued pattern that Gateways commitment and attention is solely from a financial Perspective. Their attention and communication os focused solely on payment
