Frequently Asked Questions in Fremont, NE

Determining the right time to move into an assisted living community can be challenging, but there are key signs to consider. If your loved one is experiencing memory loss that affects daily tasks like eating, dressing, or managing medications, it may be time to explore assisted living. Wandering, withdrawal from social activities, and noticeable changes in mood or behavior are also important indicators. Assisted living communities, like Heritage Communities, offer a supportive environment with opportunities for social, intellectual, and physical engagement, ensuring your loved one can thrive while enjoying a fulfilling lifestyle. If you’re uncertain, consulting with a physician can help guide your decision.

At The Heritage at Shalimar Gardens, we offer both assisted living and memory care within our community. Assisted living is for those who prefer not to live alone or  need help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and transportation support while maintaining independence. Assisted living residents enjoy a plethora of engaging social activities and events in and out of our community. Memory care, on the other hand, provides a secure and specialized environment specifically designed for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Portraits, our signature Montessori-based memory care platform, engages residents in cognitive-stimulating activities based on their personal history to provide meaningful personal purpose and self-esteem.  Our secure memory care building is adapted to meet the unique needs of our residents, featuring easy-to-navigate spaces and safety-enhancing artificial-intelligence-enabled memory care technology to ensure their comfort and safety.

Absolutely! We welcome small pets as part of our family. Our pet-friendly policy means you can continue to enjoy the special bond with your furry friends as you transition into your new home. For more information about our pet policy, please feel free to reach out to us.

You need to find a healthy culture and social environment where you feel like you fit. The best way to do that is to tour the community, stay for lunch in the dining room, interact with residents, and watch how the care and leadership teams interact with residents. The thing we most often hear from residents and families when we ask how they chose our community is, “It just felt like home when I visited.” We invite you to schedule a tour or read our reviews and testimonials to see for yourself how we craft each care plan to meet the unique needs of every resident.
