Located in Columbus, Nebraska, Brookestone Acres is designed for seniors needing either short-term rehabilitation or skilled nursing services. At Brookestone Acres, we have a culture of rehabilitation and overall improvement of health. Our residents and patients are served by team members trained to meet the unique and specialized needs of each individual.

Our team is dedicated to encouraging and motivating our patients to excel in therapy and regain daily life skills.

This commitment ensures that the patient, if they are able, will be successful well after leaving Brookestone Acres.
Services
When I talk with residents and team members in any Vetter Senior Living setting, I see warmth, friendship, laughter and beauty that speak of home to every unique person who lives with us. We provide the welcoming environment, with tasteful dcor, delicious meals and fun activities and events, plus the compassionate care and companionship of exceptional professional caregivers.
In 1975, with the purchase of their first facility, Jack and Eldora Vetter began a tradition of care that has endured through the years as a respected example of excellence to many others in the profession. However, it is not the profession that has held this company's focus all these years. It is, instead, the individuals who live with us.
We will create a living environment that radiates love, peace, spiritual contentment, dignity, and safety, while encouraging personal independence. We will dedicate ourselves to provide personalized care and services that achieve extraordinary results and exceed the expectations of those we serve. We will select and develop team members who radiate warmth, compassion, and respect while skillfully performing their duties.
The Administrator is responsible for ensuring that the VSL mission, vision and values are met within the facility, through the development of strong personal relationships, while ensuring effective and economic operation of all facility departments, providing tactful leadership and supervision, and ensuring that approved facility goals and objectives are accomplished and quality services achieved and maintained.
Vetter Senior Living is committed to providing the information you need to make informed decisions about senior living options and about the care and services we provide. As part of that commitment, we now post our resident and family satisfaction ratings online. We've developed this guide to help prospective residents and their families understand how we capture and report our resident and family satisfaction ratings.

The staff stated my father "wasn't trying hard enough" and was being kicked off of Medicare days for physical therapy after breaking a hip. I went to visit him the day before he was to be discharged and found him to have 40lbs of fluids, brusing, shortness of breath, and confusion. They never told me they just said he was not trying. 7 days later he's on comfort care in the hospital. Shame on this place and the staff.

Most unprofessional place. They take it upon themselves to send cops to your home if you don't go or call into work. No one should live with being controlled by their employer on the clock or off

Well this is by far the most expensive nursing home in columbus, they are understaffed even though hey say that they have more CNAs than other places which is true but most of the residents are hospice and need lots of care. The restrooms in the residents room are dirty, they do not provide snacks for them if they eat when they are supposed to, cool otherwise they don't care. They use to have snacks, but then they thought that the CNAs were eating them (like if they have any time to do that) and they stopped providing the snacks. also the residents pay so much money and for what!!! To be treated
