About Immanuel: The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse at Lakeside Village is located in the heart of West Omaha, Nebraska, just minutes from CHI Health Lakeside Hospital, Lakeside Hills Plaza, The Shops at Legacy, and Village Pointe. Nearby grocery stores, restaurants, and pharmacies add convenience for visiting families while residents enjoy a comfortable, community-focused setting.

The Lighthouse provides both short and long-term support for older adults who need compassionate, around-the-clock care, including skilled nursing and long-term care. Its team delivers individualized care and rehabilitation programs, including physical, occupational, and speech therapies tailored to each resident's needs. Skilled nursing services follow a multidisciplinary approach for those recovering from surgery, illness, or managing chronic conditions, with the goal of helping residents transition back home or to an appropriate setting once their health stabilizes.

Hospice care is also offered, focusing on comfort, dignity, and quality of life for residents nearing the end of life, with support for honoring personal wishes and meaningful final experiences for both residents and their families.

Daily life includes chef-prepared meals, private suites, pastoral faith support, and personalized services intended to support health and overall quality of life. Spiritual support is woven into the community's approach, welcoming individuals of all faiths and backgrounds. Recreation therapists assess residents' needs and provide evidence-based programs designed to boost independence and engagement on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.

The community recently unveiled The Shores, an 18-suite neighborhood addition, as part of an extensive renovation and expansion effort. The Lighthouse has also been recognized nationally with the Communities That Shine Award from LifeLoop, an honor tied to a former resident's legacy of giving.

I highly recommend The Lighthouse skilled rehab facility for anyone in need of short-term rehabilitation or care. Not only is it a beautiful facility, but their team consistently provides exceptional support to their patients, with a strong focus on helping each individual return to their prior level of function. The therapy staff is highly skilled, experienced, and truly dedicated to achieving meaningful outcomes for those they serve. It’s clear they take great pride in the care they provide, and I would confidently recommend them to anyone in need of rehab services.

My dad was there for maybe 3 weeks. He needed hospital care and we found out that someone from the lighthouse cut his blood thinner medication and was probably the reason for the ER visit. I ask the staff at the lighthouse who would have made the decision to restrict his life given medication and the backed up and deferred blame to anyone else. They also blamed my brother saying that while my father was on a liquid restriction he was giving him drinks and he wasn't. Sadly they seem to push blame away from themselves, so be aware of their practices.

My grandma and grandpa lived at the Lighthouse until their deaths, for 5 or so years. The staff is outstanding. All of my experiences with them were positive. They were so kind and excellent at their jobs. I really felt like they cared for my grandparents, and would do anything to help our family. They accommodated our large family for holiday gatherings. If you are researching a place for your loved ones, I highly recommend the Lighthouse.

I think the lighthouse is understaffed they don't have time to do there patients justice. If you want your elderly to stay in a wheelchair send them here. The food is horrible and if you want to eat with your loved one your meal will cost you $19. Some of the staff is awesome and others can't take the time.
