“This recognition reflects the essence of Ovation,” stated Stephanie Grade, Vice President of Operations at Ovation Heartwood Preserve. “To be named the Best of Omaha is a tremendous honor and a meaningful affirmation of our team’s elevated standard of service. We are deeply grateful to the Omaha community for entrusting us with the privilege of serving its seniors.”
Ovation’s continued recognition is more than an award. It is a celebration of the people, programs, and daily experiences that help seniors thrive in retirement.
Why Ovation Stands Out
At Ovation Heartwood Preserve, retirement is designed to feel active and connected. Residents are surrounded by a team that knows them personally, encourages meaningful engagement, and creates space for joy in everyday moments.
“They care about you. There’s laughter, and everyone needs laughter in their life,” shared resident Jeannene.
Babe, another resident, captured it beautifully: “We ended up in the best place in Omaha.”
A Wellness Approach That Helps Seniors Keep Writing Their Best Story
Wellness at Ovation is a holistic approach that supports movement, confidence, independence, social connection, and purpose. From personalized encouragement to accessible wellness opportunities, residents are empowered to stay active in ways that fit who they are today.
“If your past story is your best story, then you’re not living life right,” stated Wellness Director Daniel Webster. “There are still ways that you can move and mobilize your body that may not look the same as yesterday, but could be implemented in a certain perspective today that could help change the trajectory of your life. You have not written your best story yet.”
That philosophy helps shape a retirement lifestyle where seniors are supported in trying new things, maintaining routines that matter to them, and discovering fresh opportunities for growth at every stage.
Dining Designed Around Nutrition and Connection
Dining is another essential part of the Ovation experience. Chef-prepared meals bring residents together while supporting wellness through thoughtful ingredients, high standards, and a focus on both nourishment and enjoyment.
“We’re cooking to the highest standards so that we are bringing out nutrients from every ingredient,” shared Austen, Sous Chef. “That way, at the end of the day, you’re not just eating delicious food, but you feel great.”
Ovation Heartwood Preserve features multiple culinary venues, including Lorraine’s Kitchen, 1863 Steakhouse, Miller’s, and Bees Knees Bistro. Residents have access to these restaurants for any occasion, from quick bites to a full dining experience. Dining at Ovation supports the kind of daily rhythm that makes retirement feel vibrant and connected.
Thriving in Retirement
Since opening in 2022, Ovation Heartwood Preserve has continued to redefine senior living in Omaha with Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care, including Omaha’s first female-only Memory Care neighborhood, Meadowlark. The community offers spaces and amenities to explore, engage, and thrive.
Residents enjoy access to a 360 Rooftop Club, indoor pool, wellness center, concierge services, and a full activities calendar. There’s something for everyone to enjoy, including art, cooking classes, outings, social gatherings, and more.
Beautifully unified, these services, amenities, and high level of service create the elevated retirement experience that earned Best of Omaha recognition.
