Assisted Living in Columbus, NE

Assisted living at The Heritage at Meridian Gardens cultivates supportive and comfortable retirement living where your loved one will always have immediate access to the quality care they deserve. Our assisted living options adapt to each resident, and if their support needs change over time, their apartment home won’t, letting them create a place that truly feels like home. We also offer our specialized Snapshots™ program, which allows residents with mild cognitive impairment to join small groups tailored to their unique interests and abilities, fostering an outlet for community and genuine relationships.
