Immanuel is proud to announce that we have been recognized as one of Nebraska’s Safest Companies for the 26th year in a row by the Nebraska Chapter of the National Safety Council. This safety award highlights Immanuel’s workplace safety, employee well-being, and industry-leading safety programs.
Among 132 other companies across the state, Immanuel stood out for its exceptional safety record and dedication to maintaining a culture of safety excellence. This long-standing recognition reinforces Immanuel’s position as a leader in retirement living and senior care in Nebraska.
To earn the Nebraska’s Safest Companies designation, organizations must be active members of the Nebraska Safety Council and complete a rigorous application process. This includes submitting detailed injury and incident data, along with a comprehensive Safety Program Evaluation Scorecard that measures the effectiveness of internal safety initiatives.
All applications are reviewed confidentially and compared against industry benchmarks and similarly sized organizations. Regardless of company size or sector, safety performance is the key metric. Immanuel’s safety record is better than the national average for its industry classification, thanks to its proactive safety culture and robust training programs.
Safety is embedded in Immanuel’s daily operations and decision-making. Guided by our mission of Christ-centered service, the organization prioritizes environments where residents, participants, and team members feel secure and supported.
Through ongoing training, proactive risk identification, and continuous improvement, Immanuel maintains a strong culture of accountability and care. While awards and recognition are appreciated, Immanuel’s focus remains on the people behind the numbers: the team members who make safety a priority every day.
“Our goal is simple: we want everyone who walks through our doors, whether they're a resident, participant, visitor, or employee to feel safe,” said Pat Kearns, Immanuel Chief Operating Officer. “This recognition reflects the care and attention our teams bring to that goal every day. We're proud of the award, but we're even more proud of the people who make it possible.”
