Havelock Manor is a small assisted living and independent living community in Lincoln, Nebraska, run by owner and administrator Janine Petracek. The facility serves residents across a range of care needs, from those recovering from illness or injury to those in end-of-life care.
Families consistently praise the staff's attentiveness and genuine care. Multiple families described the atmosphere as homey and family-like, with staff who go beyond standard duties—attending funerals, welcoming family members with warmth, and staying closely involved in residents' daily lives. Residents participate in planned activities, and the kitchen prepares homemade meals. One family noted their father "hasn't done in years" after moving in and that "the feeling is like home when you walk in." Safety and fall prevention appear strong; one family reported their mother "didn't fall once here" after falling four times in two weeks at another facility.
One negative review cited insufficient hands-on care for residents with greater needs and alleged staff indifference, suggesting the community may be better suited to those requiring lighter-touch support. A separate review acknowledged a medication error but credited staff transparency in disclosing it. Havelock Manor holds a 4.7/5 rating across 17 Google reviews, with the vast majority describing meaningful, compassionate care during vulnerable life stages.

Havelock Manor is an ok place if your loved one needs minimal care. Anyone needing a more hands on approach should look elsewhere. I had a camera installed (they knew about it) watching some of the footage is pleasant-but most of it is horrific. The indifference of the staff and carelessness/neglect is appalling. I kept some of the videos, cannot share them publicly though.

Havelock Manor took excellent care of my mom. She was in another place prior and fell 4 times in two weeks. She didn’t fall once here. The administrator and all of the care providers watched her closely and made her smile. It is a small cozy homelike atmosphere. Thank you for caring for her with such compassion. It allowed us to truly enjoy our last days with her as her family instead of her caregivers.

My step-dad was in 3 different facilities in the last 6 years and Havelock Manor was the last one and the best! They were the only facility that had staff around and they truly cared! There were no odors like in the other facilities and they were so good about checking on him. I felt like I could finally relax and know that he was being taken care of by people who loved him!! Best staff ever!!

My husband was cared for at Havelock Manor for his last two months. I cannot say enough good about the care he received from the entire staff and the administrator, Janine Petracek. They did everything they possibly could to surround him with comfort and caring, as they did for us, his family. Thank you all - you go above and beyond for all of your residents.
