Lincoln senior living facility begins construction to offer independent living

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A Lincoln senior living facility is moving forward in its plan to add more services.

Cedarhurst Senior Living of Lincoln is adding 20 independent living cottages, finally beginning the construction process.

“Older adults and their families want choices, but they also want confidence that those choices can continue to meet their needs over time,” Almir Sajtovic, President of Cedarhurst Senior Living, said. “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.”

Cedarhurst opened in August 2026, initially only offering assisted living and memory care.

The construction is expected to be completed in Fall of 2027, allowing Cedarhurst to offer independent living.
