Gateway Vista Partners with Lighthouse TIP Program to Empower Youth in Trades and Industry

May 23, 2024

Gateway Vista, a leading senior living community in Lincoln, NE, proudly announces its partnership with the Lighthouse TIP (Trades and Industry) program, aimed at providing hands-on training and education to youth in the community.

Gateway Vista Partners with Lighthouse TIP Program to Empower Youth in Trades and Industry

The Lighthouse TIP program seeks to equip youth, particularly those from low-income families, with the skills and opportunities to pursue fulfilling careers in various industries, including construction, nursing, culinary arts, and more. By offering real-world experience through on-the-job training, internships, and apprenticeships, the program aims to break the cycle of poverty and empower youth to achieve a better standard of living.

Gateway Vista, known for its comprehensive senior living services, has enthusiastically joined forces with Lighthouse to host a 6-week program on its campus. Through this partnership, professionals at Gateway Vista are providing hands-on exposure to careers in the senior living industry, including assisted living, skilled nursing care, and rehabilitation services.

“We believe this program is a great way to introduce teens to new career paths,” says Mollie Cook, Director of Human Resources at Nye Health Services. “Many students have limited exposure to the depth of career opportunities available in the industry. By working directly with residents and experiencing the importance of quality care firsthand, youth gain a true understanding of the industry and become excited about potential pathways.”

The impact of the program has been immediate and profound. Following their participation in the program at Gateway Vista, several youth expressed eagerness to pursue careers in senior living and applied for open positions on the same day. One participant has already secured a position at Gateway Vista, demonstrating the program’s effectiveness in inspiring and empowering youth.

“At Lighthouse, we believe that ‘you can’t be what you can’t see,'” says Jeremy Trujillo, Director of the Trades/Industries Program at Lighthouse. “Through this program and our partnership with organizations like Gateway Vista, students actively engage in training, envision themselves in future roles, and forge meaningful connections with residents, creating a lasting impact on both students and seniors alike.”

For more information about Gateway Vista and its partnership with the Lighthouse TIP program, please contact Mollie Cook, Director of Human Resources, at 402-753-1400.

Caring for Our Heroes: How Community Care Helps Veterans

Dec 20, 2019

Gateway Vista, a Nye Health Services campus, is now a participating facility under the Veterans Affairs Community Care Network (VA CCN) for all eligible Veterans who could benefit from short term rehabilitation services and outpatient therapy services. Both Optum and United Healthcare are collaborating to manage the VA CCN, a national VA initiative.

Gateway Vista’s Executive Director is a 25 year Active Duty and Reserve Officer and has worked in healthcare for over 20 years. Executive Director (Major) Mark Sroczynski knows what it means to serve. Mark states that, “As a 25 year Active and Reserve Duty Officer, I know what it means and how to relate to Veterans, especially during the healing process. One of several duties I was fortunate to complete, was a 12 month tour at Brook Army Medical Center, San Antonio. There I Commanded the first Warrior Transition Unit and averaged approximately 200 Soldiers, Airman, Navy and Marines who were there to recover from their injuries.”

“The VA Community Care Network allows Veterans who qualify to come to our organization outside of the VA to provide services. All people, including Veterans, should have this choice as to where they want their care to take place. Join us.”

Veterans Affairs provides healthcare for Veterans in your local community. If Veterans Affairs cannot provide the care needed, then the Veteran may be eligible to receive care from a community provider. This is provided on behalf of, and paid for, by Veterans Affairs. Before a Veteran can receive community care from a provider, the VA must first authorize the care. Gateway Vista, one of Nye Health Service’s campuses, is proud to service our nation’s veterans.

Types of Care Available

Veterans Affairs ensures that even after a soldier’s service has ended, the person behind the uniform has the care needed for their entire life. Veterans may be eligible for the following types of care:

General Community Care: If you require a specialty service or health care need that is not offered at a VA medical facility, then you may qualify for general community care. For example, maternity care is not offered at VA medical facilities, so a patient could be eligible for general community care. General community care needs to be pre-authorized by Veterans Affairs.
Emergency Care: If you’re suffering from a life threatening emergency, call 911 first and go to the nearest emergency room. For emergency care, a prior VA authorization is not necessary, as your immediate health and well-being is a priority. A claim for emergency care will never be denied based solely on VA not receiving notification prior to seeking care.However, you should contact the VA within 72 hours of admittance to help VA staff coordinate discharge or follow-up medical care.
Home Health Services and Hospice Care: The VA aims to keep chronically ill or disabled Veterans in their homes as long as possible. Skilled home health care, palliative care, homemaker services, and hospice care are all considered extended care services under the direction of a VA physician.
State Veterans Homes: A VA social worker can provide you with additional details about State Veterans Homes. These facilities provide services such as adult day care or nursing home services.

Veterans Affairs provides a wide variety of care options for Veterans throughout their lives.

Cost and Billing Options for Veterans

The VA provides several different billing options for Veterans such as paying online through a secure server, by phone, in person at a VA medical facility, or by mail. Veterans are charged a co-payment for care provided directly by VA,or through a community provider outside of VA. The co-payment amount is based on the type of health care service you receive and your financial situation. For Veterans struggling with co-payments due to loss of job, or a sudden decrease in income, contact the VA to see if you qualify for financial hardship assistance.

Join Mark and other Veterans to see how Gateway Vista provides state-of-the-art rehabilitation services and top-notch care for its senior residents. Contact us to learn how our impeccable senior living campuses maintain the pride fostered by our nation’s Veterans.

Cycling Without Age comes to Legacy Lodge

May 9, 2019

While enjoying a walk with a resident around the Lodge’s beautiful grounds and paved pathway, it occurred to me that our residents have limited mobility and access to our community’s 70-mile pathway system that we can access right out our front or back doors. I started noticing our neighborhood and community residents, families, and pets of all ages, socially engaging with one another, commuting to and from work, walking, cycling, jogging, or roller blading/skating etc., on our county pathways throughout the valley.

That got me thinking….about how our senior community residents might also get outside to enjoy all that our pathways have to offer to the valley’s residents and visitors. This led me to a google search for cycling for seniors which, in turn, brought up Cycling Without Age (CWA).

I saw CWA as the perfect solution, not only for a way to connect volunteers and riders for a cycling excursion, but more importantly, a way for all our valley residents to re-connect socially, regardless of their limited cognitive and/or physical limitations.

We now have our own trishaw and even had the honor of Ole Kassow, the founder of Cycling Without Age, visiting Legacy Lodge this spring! Here is Ole’s TED Talk.
