The Nebraska Masonic Home

My mother was in the Alzheimer's Wing, but has been called home by her Creator. The care was superior. The venue beautiful. The staff did such an amazing job, words fall short. I was the Chief Engineer here for almost 16 years under the leadership of Arthur Sharp and Mary Stapp. It was an honor to work at such a noble place full of loving employees. I highly recommend it. But know this, moving out of your farm or house to a new kind of living can still be difficult. So prepare. But if I lose my abilities to care for myself, this is where I will come spend my last days. The grounds are beautiful too.

I have been a nurse for 16 years. I have worked in several long team care facilities between, NE/IA/AZ, I had never experienced a home like the Nebraska Masonic Home before. The care and compassion given to the residents is A+. They strive for excellence everyday. I was ready to hang my towel and try another field of work before I joined the team. I have never been more proud to be a nurse or part of this amazing team!

I want to share what I witness but with the pandemic I wasn't able to witness a lot. My mother became a resident in assistant living Sept 2020 . Her health took a turn last Feb. & March. She was in the hospital about three weeks in that time it was evident that she was not going to get better so I had to make the decision to put her in hospice or send her back the Masonic Home and go into comfort care. I choose comfort care thinking that it would be as good a hospice. This was a decision I made after talking to Chris and the social worker. Well let me just say that comfort care is not hospice. There is nobody there to tell you anything the home just treat them like a regular patient. My mother passed away the the night after she came back. I was thinking that comfort care would be keeping a good eye on her and be our side to tell us that the time would be near. Realize I don't see people die everyday. So to have someone that knows what they are doing would have been beneficial. If I had known that the time was near I would have stayed with her. When I got to the home that day she was dressed and they put her in a chair to take her to the dining room. What dying person needs to go to the dining room? Let me just say the communication was not there and it was difficult to leave her anyway. But if someone could have communicated with me what they observed like a real hospice nurse that would have been helpful. So FYI comfort care is not anything like hospice.

I have been a resident for 4 years and have received excellent care, especially with this COVID-19 epidemic. Wonderful staff and a great activities team makes it easy to feel like you’re home.
