(I always felt like the truly helpful staff members were doing their best to make up for the staff members who were consistently less than helpful, notably the maintenance staff, the surly receptionist, and the operations director.) If you're in an apartment that's been renovated, you may enjoy living here. However if you're in an apartment that has NOT been renovated, go somewhere else. The prices are the same for the renovated apartments -- prices that predictably increase every year -- and the incompetent staff won't permanently fix anything that's broken in the non-renovated apartments, for example, a perpetually leaky faucet; a stained ceramic sink; a perpetually broken disposal; a refrigerator that produced no ice; and cheap vertical blinds that also often broke. These were all very basic things that greatly would have improved my parents' quality of life, but Elk Ridge refused to replace these items which, in the grand scheme of things, are relatively inexpensive. In the winter, they also inexplicably do not put down salt on the sidewalks -- it's Nebraska in winter...Putting down salt should be a daily SOP. While walking, I slipped and fell straight down on my shins and kneecaps -- several witnesses, thankfully, and thankfully I only sustained severe bruising that lasted ~three weeks. Elk Ridge is lucky I didn't break anything; I would have sued, no question. One of the residents told me she moved in, in circa 2019, and has watched the quality and level service decrease steadily, which is unfortunate. I got the sense she was strongly considering moving. Overall, I would not recommend. Live there at your own peril.

My journey started over three years ago when I decided to consider moving to an independent living facility. After visiting several of the communities here in Lincoln, I selected The Landing, put my name on their list and waited for a call. Bridge to Better Living never just left it at that, I received phone calls, cards and invitations to functions. They always were there along with The Landing's communications. I never felt forgotten!! Now that I've moved in, I want to express my gratitude to Mary Ann, Kristine and the Team for all they did to help with the entire process. If you are looking for yourself or a loved one do not hesitate to call them, you won't be disappointed. Pam R.

My husband and I wanted to find a senior independent living community where we could age…read morecomfortably, with access to assisted living, memory care, long-term care, and hospice if needed. We'd heard that many desirable communities have long waitlists and were advised to start looking one to two years in advance. But where do you begin? We were fortunate to discover Bridge to Better Living, a senior transition consulting service serving the Lincoln and Omaha areas. Bridge to Better Living doesn't charge clients; instead, they're compensated by the senior retirement community if a placement occurs. Importantly, they don't "sell" you on any location--they listen. Bridge to Better Living took the time to understand our social, physical, medical, and financial needs, then recommended senior living communities that aligned with our goals. We chose which ones to visit, and our consultant arranged tours at times that worked for us--accompanying us every step of the way. We toured four communities and narrowed it down to two. When we struggled to decide, our consultant suggested we share a meal with a couple living at each location to get more of a sense of daily life. She arranged those visits , too--again, with no pressure, just support. Thanks to Bridge to Better Living, we made a confident, informed decision and couldn't be happier. If you or a loved one are considering moving to a senior living facility, meeting with Bridge to Better Living is a must. Their team is compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly invested in helping you find the right fit. Along the way, we met so many wonderful staff. The person that we saw most often was Jodi who arranged and accompanied us on most of our visits. She was responsive, insightful, and always just a quick text away. We also learned that some younger senior citizens choose a senior living community over downsizing to a smaller home. The financial comparison can be eye-opening--and Bridge to Better Living can help you evaluate those costs (i.e. no more home insurance, HOA fees, taxes associated with your home, utilities, trash removal, housekeeping services, etc.)
