An old barn from generations past still stands on the four and a half acres around Legato Living at Heartland Hills. A large wrap-around deck was built just for taking in the view and the quiet.

The home sits on 36th Street, south of Capehart, in Bellevue, NE. All ten residents live on the same level of the house, which gives your family member a real chance to get to know the others and join in activities as a group. Legato Living has one focus, memory care, including Alzheimer's and other types of dementia.

Why a Small Home Works at Heartland Hills

Large group settings can be overstimulating, and often overwhelming, for someone living with the confusion of dementia. In a single-family house, residents can keep much of the lifestyle they were used to. With fewer staff to get to know and fewer people living with them, residents are more at peace, and families gain a sense of security.
