Hillcrest Health & Rehab is a skilled nursing facility located at 1702 Hillcrest Drive in Bellevue, Nebraska, described as the only skilled nursing facility in the city. It is part of the Hillcrest Health & Living network, which provides recovery and senior care services across the Omaha metro area.
The center specializes in short-term rehabilitation for seniors recovering from illness, injury or surgery, including joint replacement, cardiac events or stroke. Guests stay in private or companion suites and have access to a large rehab gym with nearly 10,000 square feet of equipment and exercise space. Physical, occupational and speech therapy are provided by an in-house clinical team rather than contracted providers, and care plans are developed by nurse practitioners, nurses, therapists and social workers. The community partners with Hillcrest Home Care and Innovate Physical Therapy, which offers outpatient therapy on campus, to support smooth transitions and reduce rehospitalizations.
Long-term care is offered in the secure Magnolia Terrace and Magnolia Circle neighborhoods, which feature a tranquil indoor garden, aviary, aquarium, family-style dining and daily programming. Residents needing ongoing care receive 24-hour support in a structured, dignified environment.
Amenities include furnished lounges, a retro 50s-style family room, an outdoor courtyard with a playground, and a chapel. Dining is a notable feature, with meals made to order by an executive chef served in dining rooms or in-room, and the on-site 1702 Bistro offering sandwiches, salads and other casual fare with indoor and outdoor seating.
Hillcrest Health & Rehab accepts Medicare and most private insurance plans for rehabilitation services, and shares an electronic health record system across the Hillcrest Health & Living network to support coordinated care.
