Tabitha Health Care Services is proud to celebrate the first anniversary of four of its senior living communities: GracePointe Assisted Living & Memory Care Suites; Martha House and Elizabeth House Green House® homes; and Journey House SNF for Hospice and Palliative Care.
Joyce Ebmeier, Tabitha’s senior vice president of strategic planning, led the development initiatives of each new community along with a dedicated team of architects, general contractors and Tabitha professionals,.
“Last year was significant in Tabitha’s history,” Ebmeier said. “As a result, our campus looks more beautiful than ever. But that’s not why we worked so hard to open these communities. From beginning to end, the projects were about serving the people of Tabitha—Elders, family members and staff. The buildings are vessels for living by Tabitha’s mission. They are tools for achieving the best in compassionate care.”
Tabitha extends heartfelt appreciation for the team members who contributed to the opening of each community and the care teams who provide daily, compassionate support for residents who have called Tabitha home for the past year.
GracePointe Assisted Living & Memory Care Suites is a 63-bed community designed for Elders who are not yet in need of skilled nursing care yet require assistance with the activities of daily living. In 2012, the community received a "Best of 50+ Housing" award from the National Association of Home Builders’ 50+ Housing Council for its innovative, retro-style design that invites Elders to relive precious memories of their early years.
Tabitha added the third and fourth Green House homes, Martha House and Elizabeth House, on its Lincoln campus in 2011. Green House homes step outside traditional long-term care and work to de-institutionalize residents’ lifestyles. Each house is home to 9-12 residents who are encouraged to live life on their own terms while receiving compassionate skilled nursing care. Green Houses promote the individuality and dignity of Elders no longer able to stay in their own homes.
Also opened last May, Journey House SNF for Hospice and Palliative Care is Lincoln’s first and only Medicare-certified skilled nursing hospice community. It provides loving and compassionate care in a home-like setting for individuals in need of skilled nursing during their end-of-life journey.
As a nonprofit organization serving 28 Nebraska counties, Tabitha’s love embraces a society where everyone is valued and empowered to live life to the fullest, with compassionate at-home support, innovative living communities, exceptional rehabilitation, health care and hospice services.
Tabitha Elder Care Services is proud to introduce Terri Rose, RN-BC, as Hospice Administrator. In her new position, Rose focuses on the operational components of Tabitha’s hospice and home care programs.
