Q. Who lives at Riverside Lodge?
A. People like you. People who have planned for their retirement years and who want the very best for them. A typical resident may wish to be set free from the bother and worry of home responsibilities, maintenance, cooking cleaning and yard work; to be set free from loneliness that can come from living alone; to be set free from the fear of an accident or a health problem that cannot receive prompt attention. Riverside Lodge provides comfort, security and peace of mind.

Q. Who is qualified to be a resident at Riverside Lodge?

Q. What is Riverside Lodge Assisted Living?
A. Riverside Lodge Assisted Living is a part of the Riverside Lodge Retirement Community that is licensed by the State of Nebraska.

All Assisted Living residents are provided three meals daily in the dining room. Executive suites and one and two bedroom apartments feature kitchenettes.

Q. What meals are included in the apartment rent?
A. An extended continental breakfast, including fruit, juices, cold cereals, pastries and coffee, and a full course evening meal is included in the apartment rent. Residents may choose from a varied menu, and the meal is served by our food service staff in our beautiful central dining room. There is also The Grille which offers an alternative dining experience with a soup and salad bar for those who wish to have a lighter evening meal. The Grille is also the location for the other social events which the residents may choose to attend. In case of short-term illness, arrangements can be made to have the meal delivered to your apartment. Guest meals are also available at a reasonable cost.
