Hot Meals

Gold Crest provides delivery of a nutritionally balanced noon meal to community residents that have requested this service.  Menus are sent out for the month and each person can select which days to recieve delivery.  Gold Crest strives to maintain affordable meal prices for those needing hot meal delivery, and billing statements are mailed each month.  Please call the Dietary Department or contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We are extremely grateful to community members who assist our neighbors by delivering hot meals.  To keep this service affordable, we seek friendly volunteers with 30 minutes to spare, who are able to drive and hand deliver the prepared meals.  Each day, the delivering volunteer recieves a complimentary meal in appreciation for their efforts.  Contact Deb Copas if you would like to help us with hot meal delivery.

Adult Day Care

Gold Crest understands the need for additional assistance to caregivers at home.  We have an Adult Day Care program that allows a resident to come for a day while their caregivers run errands, attend appointments, or just relax for a few hours.  Nursing care is provided, such as assisting with meals, medications and bathing.  The resident is welcome to attend activities of his or her choice, and socialize with the other residents.  Adult Day Care can be provided on an hourly, half-day or whole day period.  Please call Social Services or contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Child Care

Gold Crest is a unique healthcare campus in that we also have an onsite Child Care Center.  The children attending get love and attention from many "adopted grandparents" and the children, in turn, learn about differently-abled people.  Our intergenerational activities benefit everyone involved and add a new dimension into our quality of life.  If you are interested in learning more about our Child Care Center, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Parkinson's Support

Did you know that Nebraska has the highest incidence of Parkinson’s Disease reported per capita in the world?  Parkinson’s (PD) strikes nerve cells in the brain that control muscle movement.  People with the disease often experience trembling, muscle rigidity, difficulty walking, problems with balance and slowed movement.  One of the earliest symptoms is reported loss of taste and smell.  Symptoms usually develop after age 60, but some people are affected before age 50.  Michael J. Fox, Muhammad Ali, Billy Graham and Janet Reno have PD.  Pope John Paul II and former Nebraska Congressman Peter Hoagland passed away from complications of PD.  There is no cure for Parkinson's, but patients can be treated medically for their symptoms.

Gold Crest understands the difficulty people have when living with Parkinson's Disease.  We started a support group to help bring understanding and information to those with PD, their family and friends.  Options for treatment, resources, and coping skills are just a few topics discussed at our monthly meetings.  If you would like to attend a free Parkinson's Support Group meeting, we get together every 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Gold Crest Chapel.  If you would like more information about how Gold Crest can provide you with Parkinson's support, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
