Review

The Ambassador facility has elicited mixed reviews from its former residents and their families. For one family, the experience was particularly challenging when it came to the level of care provided for their father, who spent two weeks there. While the environment was clean and the food received positive remarks, significant concerns arose regarding both security and quality of care. One alarming issue reported was that a family member could freely walk into the building without being registered in any capacity, highlighting potential lapses in security protocols that could endanger vulnerable residents.

Despite these concerns, the family acknowledged that the staff did their best in caring for their father during his stay. He exhibited agitation, confusion, and paranoia due to his condition; however, there seemed to be an understanding from staff about these challenges. Nevertheless, incidents such as leaving behind important personal belongings—his dentures and glasses—when transferring him to the hospital after a serious injury like broken ribs contributed to an overall sense of dissatisfaction with his treatment at The Ambassador.

Safety was another area of concern highlighted by this family. In particular, they noted an incident where their father attempted to retrieve clothing from an unsecured armoire within his room. The lack of proper safety measures meant that he nearly pulled over the heavy piece of furniture on top of himself while searching for his things—a clear indication that vigilance regarding resident safety needs improvement within the facility’s infrastructure.

On a contrasting note, another individual's experience at The Ambassador in Omaha paints a different picture altogether—one primarily filled with gratitude toward staff support during rehabilitation after breaking her leg in 2013. She spent about a month at the facility and found it to be helpful across various aspects of her recovery process. From dressing and eating to showering and bathroom assistance, she felt well-supported as she navigated her physical limitations post-surgery.

Her time at The Ambassador afforded her some comforts typical of rehabilitation facilities: a private room furnished with essential amenities such as a hospital bed and television set allowed for both rest and entertainment during her stay. Dining experiences were also pleasant enough; although food quality wasn’t extraordinary, it met her basic expectations in terms of nourishment with adequately maintained cleanliness throughout common areas like dining rooms—all contributing factors that made her stay more tolerable amidst recovery efforts.

Despite enjoying many aspects of her time there, she expressed some disappointment regarding restrictions on outdoor access without supervision. This administrative rule may have led to feelings of confinement; nevertheless, she recognized that this policy likely aimed at ensuring safety among residents who might otherwise wander off or become disoriented outside without appropriate guidance.

In conclusion, reviews surrounding The Ambassador reveal a complex portrait involving commendable cleanliness standards and nurtured environments counterbalanced by critical observations regarding resident care practices and strictness around freedom within facilities. While one individual emerged from rehabilitation satisfied with supportive training offered by staff amid physical healing efforts following surgery—a sentiment not entirely mirrored by another family's unfortunate narrative—these perspectives stress how essential clarity on security practices alongside empathetic patient engagement truly is in fostering trust among those reliant upon assisted living facilities like The Ambassador.
