About St. Joseph Villa

St. Joseph Villa is a skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Omaha, Nebraska. The community serves residents requiring rehabilitation and ongoing care, including those with dementia and memory care needs.

Families express sharply divided experiences. Those rating the facility highly consistently praise the attentiveness of nursing assistants and direct care staff, noting rapid response to requests and genuine warmth from team members. Residents have been observed becoming more socially engaged, forming friendships, and enjoying the food. One family reflected that the care "literally kept her singing for nearly 11 years." However, several families report serious concerns: medication handling errors (medications left on counters, lost medications), improper medical procedures resulting in hospitalization, and inadequate communication with medical powers of attorney. A small number of reviews also cite frustration with administrative responsiveness and visitor access policies.

St. Joseph Villa holds a 3.5 out of 5 Google rating based on 31 reviews. The facility shows a stark pattern, most reviews are either 5 stars or 1 star, suggesting that outcomes and experiences vary considerably by resident or care area. Prospective families should weigh strong praise for staff compassion against documented medication and clinical care gaps, and may want to ask specifically about nursing oversight and incident reporting procedures.

My mother has no complaints about the quality or care she is receiving delivered by the CNAs looking after her. She loves the food as well. She is more social and spends time with other residents instead of just sitting alone in an empty apartment like she was before moving into her room at St. Joseph Villa. I’m pleased that she is making new friends. Even with a wife of another resident who visits with my mother every time she stops by to see her husband. And the business office is being very patient with me as I explore the landscape of moving on mom onto Nebraska Medicaid with a share of cost. The nursing staff are awesome as well, always calling and informing me of any necessary changes in her treatment plan. Thank you St Joseph Villa for living up to expectations!

This facility needs nursing staff filter. My guy has had his medication left on the counter in his room. However, the nurse signed off they had been given. Some medications were "lost" for 4 four days before resident was told. The Medical POA has NEVER been Notified. Feeding tube improperly re-inserted, caused a bowel obstruction. Forcing a night at the hospital. Countless times being left without an emergency call light.

I've waited almost a year since my Dad's passing to write a review of St. Joseph Villa, and rest assured it is a good one. When we could no longer care for Dad at home due to "sundowners" (when they are up wandering all night) dementia, and no longer able to stand, we approached St. Joe's with fear and trembling for help. We could not have chosen a better nursing home facility. Everyone took such good care of Dad and he soon loved and spoke highly of all the staff members who took care of him. On Husker Saturdays I would spend the day with dad, watch the game, eat lunch or dinner with him courtesy of the wonderful cooks at St. Joe's, and really saw first hand how much the staff cared and cherished the residents. I'm 64, and when my time comes should I need nursing home care, I will want to be a resident at St. Joseph Villa. Thank you all again for the excellent care and love shown to my father Jesse Waddell.
