    Immanuel honored in the 2025 Best of Omaha Awards

    December 2, 2024

    Immanuel has been recognized in the 2025 Best of Omaha Awards by Omaha Magazine, earning multiple honors across categories that highlight excellence in retirement living and senior care.

    These awards celebrate outstanding organizations across the community, and Immanuel’s inclusion underscores its dedication to providing high-quality care and support for older adults.

    “We are honored to be recognized in this year's Best of Omaha Awards, but the real win is in the everyday dedication of our leaders and staff,” said John Croghan, Immanuel Vice President of Community Operations. “It's not about chasing awards – it's about consistently delivering excellence through teamwork, compassion, and a commitment to our mission and vision. These recognitions are a reflection of the incredible work happening in our communities.”

    Immanuel’s awards span several categories, including:

    The awards are especially meaningful because they are voted on by the community, a testament to the trust and appreciation of Immanuel's residents and their families. Whether it’s Pacific Springs’ standout memory care or Immanuel Village’s independent living, each community is designed to meet the needs of older adults while fostering connection and comfort.

    These acknowledgments highlight the positive impact Immanuel strives to make as a retirement living provider and an active member of the Omaha community.
