LINCOLN, NE (NOVEMBER 10, 2026) – As the needs and preferences of older adults continue to evolve, Cedarhurst Senior Living is moving forward with the next phase of its planned development at Cedarhurst of Lincoln, adding 20 Independent Living Cottages to create a more comprehensive range of senior living options within one community.
The cottages have been part of Cedarhurst's development plan from the beginning, reflecting demand for independent living options that allow older adults to maintain their preferred lifestyle while remaining connected to a community that can offer additional levels of support as their needs change. Construction is beginning this fall, with completion anticipated in Fall 2027.
The expansion follows the August 2026 opening of Cedarhurst of Lincoln, which initially welcomed Assisted Living and Memory Care residents. Once complete, the community will offer Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care, providing residents and families with access to a broader continuum of senior living options in one location.
"Older adults and their families want choices, but they also want confidence that those choices can continue to meet their needs over time," said Almir Sajtovic, President of Cedarhurst Senior Living. "From the beginning, our vision for Cedarhurst of Lincoln was to create a community that could support residents through different stages of life. Adding Independent Living is an important part of that commitment, giving seniors more opportunities to live independently while providing families with peace of mind knowing additional care options are available within the same community. This continued investment reflects our confidence in Lincoln and our long-term commitment to serving its seniors and families."
For older adults looking to rightsize without giving up their independence, the cottages will offer the comforts of a traditional home with the convenience of a senior living community. Each cottage will feature a two-bedroom floor plan, full kitchen, laundry room, fireplace, private garage and covered patio, providing a comfortable living environment with fewer maintenance responsibilities.
Beyond the individual residences, the phased development is designed to provide flexibility for the future. Residents can enjoy an independent lifestyle while remaining connected to the relationships, programs and experiences available at Cedarhurst of Lincoln. Should their care needs change, having Assisted Living and Memory Care options within the same community can help simplify future decisions and provide greater familiarity and continuity for residents and their families.
The addition of Independent Living also represents Cedarhurst's continued investment in the Lincoln market, building on the community's initial opening and expanding the options available to local seniors seeking a supportive, engaging place to call home.
