Legato Living at Heartland Hills is a memory care community in Bellevue, Nebraska, serving residents with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The community occupies 4.5 acres on 36th Street south of Capehart, featuring a large ranch-style home with all ten residents living on the same level to facilitate engagement and group activities.
The setting emphasizes a residential environment designed to be intimate rather than institutional. An original barn from generations past remains on the property. A large wrap-around deck overlooks the peaceful grounds and wildlife. The facility prioritizes individualized care and maintains a low resident census to avoid over-stimulation common in larger group settings.
Care services include personalized health care through medical partnerships and wellness programs, cognitive care with specialized programs and therapeutic activities, physical care assistance with mobility support and rehabilitation partnerships, and personal care support with grooming and hygiene. The community also offers respite and adult daycare services, as well as hospice partnerships for end-of-life support.
The community is located in a rural yet accessible area with views of surrounding countryside. Owners Greg and Alicia Zuger, who both have personal family experiences with aging parents, operate the facility with a focus on treating residents as family members. The home is described as bright and cheerful with numerous windows, clean living areas, and home-cooked meals provided to residents.
Families are welcome to visit at any time and may participate in activities and meals at the community. The owners note veteran support and honor veterans with a welcoming environment catering to their unique needs.
