When looking for a senior living center for you or a loved one, location is one of the most important factors. In your golden years, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice lifestyle for factors like safety or ease of transportation to the things you need and love. As a local Papillion business for the past 33 years, we know the power of location. Let’s dig deeper into what makes Papillion, Nebraska so great!

 

Lifestyle

---

 

As many seniors’ mobility begins to decline with age, a much greater importance is placed on location to certain aspects of their lifestyle that make them who they are. Papillion has a great balance of a small town feel with attractions you would only find in a big city. If you love shopping, Papillion is the perfect place for you. The Shadow Lake Towne Center is one of the largest outdoor shopping malls in the Omaha metro area! Or maybe you’re a “foody” who loves trying every single restaurant in a town? In Papillion, you’ll never have to worry about running out of restaurants to try!

 

Healthcare

As healthy as you may be, there’s nothing more comforting than knowing that if and when something does happen, you’re not far from quality care. In Papillion, you’ll have that access to the care you need at Midlands Hospital, right near the intersection of 84th and Highway 370. Did we mention The Wellington Senior Living is right next door?!

 

Safety and Comfort

We’re not exaggerating when we say Papillion is one of the best places to live. According to Money Magazine in 2015, Papillion was rated the second best place to live in the United States! This was based upon criteria such as the growing downtown area, great schools and interesting attractions such as the Sumptur Amphitheater and Papillion Days.

Not only is Papillion the perfect place to settle down in terms of attractions, but it’s a safe place, too! Papillion is consistently in the top ten for safest cities in Nebraska, due to the low crime rate. So, if safety is on your retirement checklist, look no further.

 

Convenience

With all of these great reasons to choose Papillion as the place to settle down, some of you may be looking for more. If so, Papillion is the perfect distance from all of the fun and exciting attractions of Omaha. Only nine traffic-free miles to be exact! This gives you the opportunity to attend all of the events and venues you know and love, like the College World Series or the unique restaurants and shops in The Old Market.

There’s a reason that Papillion consistently receives outstanding reviews from sources like Money Magazine and BusinessWeek – it has a small town feel with big city attractions, making it the ultimate place for your retirement years.

 

At The Wellington, we take pride in knowing our residents have access to all of these great resources. In fact, we’re located right next door to The Shadow Lake Towne Center AND Midlands Hospital.
