Senior Living Options

A Guide for Understanding Which Level of Care is the Best Fit

The process involved with making a decision about transitioning to senior living often feels overwhelming and even a bit scary. But it doesn’t need to be. Today’s seniors have an abundance of options. Senior living options today help older adults grow into a new chapter and offer the resources necessary to ensure that growth is successful and fulfilling.

Here’s what you can expect from our comprehensive guide:

  • An overview of various types of senior living options
  • Understanding the differences between Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care and more
  • Understanding costs and creating a budget
  • Questions to ask when you visit communities


Independent Living

At Heritage Communities, you can enjoy the comfort and privacy of your own apartment as well as the perks of community living, including restaurant-style dining, activities, classes, clubs and friendships.

Assisted Living

Enjoy the comforts of your own apartment, styled to fit you, as well as the company of others. Assisted Living means you have access to caregivers 24 hours a day for hands-on assistance with any daily tasks.

Memory Care

Memory loss effects our residents differently, and we strive to help them feel like themselves in every way possible. We create individualized programming that adds purpose and meaning to their lives.

Respite & Recovery Stays

Our respite and recovery stays provide short-term compassionate care and support. Great for when caregivers are not available, or you need extra time to recover after procedures.

Heritage Communities

Since 2002, Heritage Communities has been a leader in redefining senior living with a steadfast commitment to comfort, compassion, and dignity. Locally owned and operated across Nebraska, Iowa, Arizona and Texas, we create nurturing environments where residents can truly thrive.

There is a difference in senior living communities, and you’ll find it in any of ours. At Heritage, we believe in Living Better. Our communities are more than just places to live—they are places where life is celebrated every day. Learn more about how Heritage Communities are different here.
