Connect55 Plus

Always make sure to speak to any staff about inago the app. And cashier checks. The apartment sizes are very nicely sized. Having a dryer and washing machine in the apartment spares me from going to any coin laundromat and spending hrs waiting and watching over my clothes to wash and dry and not find other people's stuff in the washer or dryer I chose at a laundromat. Having a microwave, refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher with a sink is beyond nice.

We are thrilled to be here. After we saw the place, which we love, we were in here in less than 2 weeks. The apartments are brand new and beautiful. We are very happy here. There are tons of activities and a great community of people that live here. I would recommend this facility to everyone.

I am not at the LaVista Connect 55+ but I am at the Connect55+on 72nd street of Omaha I love it here. I came here and I was using a walker and or cane and now about 2 months later I am not using either one. People are so friendly here, a lot of activities. We have exercised every morning except weekend. We have Potlucks, cook offs, silent actions, bingo and many other card and board games. We have Church every Sunday and one every other Wednesday morning and we have bible study at night. We had a Valentine breakfast, and they try to have a breakfast once a month. There is enough to keep you busy here and it is such a pleasure and honor to be able to live here. [name removed] and [name removed] are wonderful people to work with and they are always checking us to see if there is anything they can do for us. I can't say enough good things about Connect 55+. It is wonderful here. I am so glad that [name removed]is a pleasure, she checks in on me to see how it is going here and if I am doing, I love her

Our mom moved from her own home to be near family in an independent living apartment here. Staff & residents have been friendly. It's a large apartment complex & our mom is unable to walk it to get her mail or pkgs or do activities. We are investigating getting a mobility scooter for her. Apartments are spacious. She has a balcony, full kichen & in unit washer/dryer. Grab bars in shower, large enough for a shower chair but not a walk in. U must be able to step up 5 inches to shower. Not all units have handicap height toilet, request it. Doors are wide, handles are levers. Basic cable & trash are included. Maintenance has been responsive with fixing a large window leak & plumbing problems. Mom's entrance to building does not have a handicap button to open exits leaving mom trapped if noone around. Fire doors are challenging but doable. Garages may be rented & onsite parking lot is available. Complex is near medical services. Overall mom is happy with Elkhorn Connect 55.

I was attracted to them because of the fact that each apt is brand new and hopefully the pretty grounds will remain clean. I would recommend to others.

We chose this facility because of the price as well as the very friendly management. They are very slow with any maintenance requests and somewhat unresponsive at times.

I feel very lucky to have found Connect 55. The administrative staff is great. They work hard to meet all your needs. The activity coordinator publishes on a monthly basis, a full calendar of events . , their dog iis always some kind of social event . And if you have an idea for an activity./event, all you have to do is ask and they will try and set it up for you. There are three different size apartments. I live in a one bedroom I’ve got enough space for me and my little pup. Yes, they are pet friendly,too. Stop by and visit. It won’t take you long to see what I mean..

All would be a five. Can't say about food because her meals are not needed or provided. It is by far the nicest place we looked at for my mom. Staff always gets back to you with any questions right away. The facility is immaculate inside and out. Always tons of activities to do. All of the residents that we've met have all been so kind and welcoming to my mom. We feel very safe with her there and the security to get into the building. Would like to get her security set up on her phone but they said it's currently not working. [name removed] in the office is one of the most patient people I've ever met. She's so sweet with the residents!

Welcoming. I have no complaints at this moment. There is a peace of mind living in this community. The apartments are spacious and they an outside cleaning service that cleans the main areas of the facility and you have your own laundry inside and there is an extra laundry room for larger items. There is a larger community room for activities and an library. You also have a garage space for a fee.

Great people. Very independent but they have a lot of gatherings all the time. They have activities for the renters almost every day. And they have daily workout. You are truly independent but still have the option to interact with the other renters. They have a great commons area. The size of her apartment is just right for her. However we know there are apartments that have tubs/shower where you have to step over. A place like that should t have those. My mother in law has a shower she steps right into. Nice balconies

We needed to get our parents out of their split entry home and we were excited to find Connect 55 Plus in Shawnee. The 2 bedroom apartment was a great step down from their house. The manager and activity director are very welcoming and easy to work with. They also work at giving residents ways to connect and have a community. Our parents are adjusting fairly well.

I enjoy living at Connect55+. Everyone is very friendly here. There are a lot of activities you can do if you choose or you can do your own thing. The apartments are very nice. I’ve only lived here a short time but I extremely happy that I moved here.

This is independent living. So, there is no housekeeping. But the staff is excellent and very friendly and helpful. This specific location is within the county's best meals on wheels services group. Internet and cable television at no additional charge. Very nice grounds. Pet friendly and they have pet waste stations on the property.

Now that we have a manager and activity director, we feel we have made it home! They CARE! Comfort and safe come to mind.

Since this new management team has been in place, this has become a clean, fun, lovely place to live. Repairs are fast & satisfying.

My mom is so happy there and that makes me one happy daughter. [Name removed], the office manager, I can't rave about her enough. One thing my mom says that she really likes about her is that no matter how busy she is, she will always make time to listen to you. If it's a work order to fix something or a I wanna show you a picture of my grandkid. She will say come on in to her office and have a seat. The Activity Director, [name removed], is amazing at what he does! So many fun and different activities. I'm not sure of the maintenance guys name. Mom did have an issue with a door knob. Put in a work order and he was there within the hour to fix it. I can't recommend them enough!!! The move in was amazing. They even had new carpet put in her entire apartment and got her a new refrigerator.

I am currently a resident at Connect55 Plus Independence and everything here at this facility is great. I would highly recommend this facility to others!

The meals and dining service does not apply so we cannot comment on that, however everything else has been great! The staff members there are so friendly and caring. The Connect55 Plus is nice and clean and we would recommend them to other families.

My mother-in-law is currently a resident at Connect55 Plus La Vista. The move in process was really good and they were very accommodating. The staff is very helpful. The facility is always very clean and it's nice that some of the residents get together for coffee. There aren't meals provided, but the residents do have meals together that they all chip in on and a resident cooks. Makes it fun! This place is one of a kind where they offer activities every day for the residents. It's easy to catch the bus to go to the store. I would recommend this facility to anyone as it has get togethers, whereas a normal apartment place doesn't do that. And it's more affordable than Independent Living. We are lucky that we found this place for mother-in-law.

Family likes this community because of the calendar that comes out monthly, describing the activities each day. They look through it and decide which would be fun, or helpful, or social. I like their input. They do not have meal service, but no one seems to care. If they served meals, I would definitely eat way more than I need, and I like the freedom. They have kitchen facilities for our use if we decide to cook a meal for family. AND We love the facilities. They have space for dancing, indoor exercise programs, morning coffees, craft shows, etc. The residents that have lived here a while are quite active once they learn what is available.
