About the Area.
Blair, Nebraska is a city of approximately 9000 people and lies
in the east part of Washington County near the Missouri River.
It is within 20 miles north of Omaha and a major airport. Blair
is served by four major highways and in addition is within 20
miles of two major interstate systems. A new bridge links
Nebraska and Iowa along Highway 30. A modern rail system runs
through Blair as well as different spurs. The Missouri River
provides for waterway transportation and shipping, therefore,
Blair is a convenient location for commercial based operations.
Farming and related industries are the main enterprises
in the county. Areas not conducive to farming are used for
pasture and residential acreage development, especially in the
south half of the county.
Blair is also the county se at for Washington County.
Good Shepherd Lutheran Community was developed on the “Hooks”
property which later sold property to neighboring First Lutheran
Church and the Blair Memorial Community Hospital. |

Activities Services focus
on the cognitive, physical, spiritual, community, social, creative as
well as any selected special needs of each individual resident.
Creating, supporting, developing, and restoring the resident’s
appropriate lifestyle through structured activity programming will
enable the resident to participate in opportunities that will help
achieve his or her highest practicable level of function.
The services of the
Activity Department assist the resident to manage tasks of daily life.
Since leisure/recreation are important components of daily living and
an integral part of holistic care, therapeutic approaches to
activities and programs will be implemented and offered to each
resident.
All residents and
tenants of the community are invited to our sponsored group activity
programs as well as use of the exercise equipment in the therapy room
and also enjoying meal time with old friends and neighbors, we ask
that you call a day ahead for a meal reservation.
