About Walnut Grove Retirement Community

Walnut Grove Retirement is Omaha's Premier independent living community. Walnut Grove Retirement Resort comprises 129 apartments for adults 55 and over — including studio apartments, one,  two, and three bedroom suites and a variety of floor plans. Walnut Grove Retirement is an all-inclusive retirement community providing five-star services on a month-to-month basis, just one monthly charge includes all services, utilities, phone, cable and internet. The vast common areas features a theater, library, billiards and game room, conversation areas with fireplaces, concierge lounge with bar, flat screen tv, game tables, superb fitness and exercise room facilities, spa area, laundry facility, and business center. Residents enjoy the variety and choice found in an industry-first all-inclusive Freedom Style Dining and Resort Style Dining Program. Dishes can be made-to-order, taken to-go, or served up restaurant-style in the dining room, where residents can enjoy the company of family and friends. Coffee, juice, ice cream and snacks are available all day. Weekly housekeeping service is provided, along with transportation to and from appointments and shopping trips. There are many planned activities, social events, travel and excursion opportunities.  We have live-in managers and concierge and valet services that are available 24/7, allowing residents to feel safe and secure. Every apartment also has emergency call systems helping keep family members comfortable knowing their loved ones are not alone in case of emergencies. Even pets are welcome at Walnut Grove Retirement, with no additional pet deposit. A guest room is available for residents' family members to spend the night, meal included. A travel program allows residents to visit any of the management company's properties, where they can reserve a guest suite free for one week — again with meals included. Numerous fitness and wellness programs including aerobics, weight lifting, yoga, walking clubs, sittercises and many more. A beauty salon/barber shop is available on the property for seniors who choose to take advantage of those services. Residents can also participate in a book club, bridge and poker games, or go on excursions to museums, cultural events and casinos. There are many events to keep our residents engaged and there is always something going on in our 150 seat state of the art theatre. We want to make sure our residents maintain the freedom to enjoy life. So often we hear our residents say the wished they would have made the move sooner because residents who make the move while they are still healthy tend to retain, or even improve their health while living in an independent retirement community like Walnut Grove Retirement. Socialization, security, and peace of mind are important benefits that we provide to our residents. Socializing not only contributes to a longer, happier life, but it also improves cognitive performance. Of course, we all want to live longer while remaining healthy and alert. Adding a circle of new friends and a support group at Walnut Grove Retirement help enrich your life in innumerable ways. We look forward to you visiting Walnut Grove soon !

Review for Walnut Grove Retirement Community

Great environment all the way around. Staff is excellent! Very friendly, kind and helpful. Lots of activities (cards, board games, billiards, putt putt etc) Walnut Grove is kept very clean and regular maintenance is consistently completed. There is a 24 hour fitness center.

Have lived here for over 3 years

I enjoy all of my neighbors and the staff has been very helpful and supportive of my husband and me. We can enjoy the activities we want and don’t feel pressured to take part in those that don’t interest us.

Family experience.

Staff has been great. They are remodeling now so it is a bit dusty. Room sizes are good.
