Long-term care where it feels like home

Since 1985, St. Jane de Chantal has been providing specialized care. St. Jane is more than just a long term care facility to our residents—it’s home. The unit is comprised of a 66-bed dually certified Medicare/Medicaid nursing. St. Jane is the only nursing home in Nebraska accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). St. Jane is accredited as a Person-Centered Long-Term Care Community under the Aging Services Program. Person-centered care is a philosophical approach to nursing home care that honors and respects the voice of our residents and those working closest with them.
