Celebrating 8 Years as Fremont’s BEST in Senior Living

For the eighth year in a row, Nye Health Services has been named Fremont’s BEST Assisted Living Facility, and it’s all thanks to YOU, our residents, families, team members, and community partners. This recognition is more than just a title, it’s a reflection of the trust you place in us to care for your loved ones, the relationships we build, and the supportive communities we create together.

What Makes Nye Different? Our Continuum of Care.

At Nye Health Services, we’re proud to offer a full continuum of senior care services in Fremont. This means residents and families can find the right level of support, from complete independence to more advanced medical care, all on one coordinated network of campuses. It’s care that grows with you, ensuring stability, familiarity, and peace of mind every step of the way.

Independent and Assisted Living at Nye Square

At Nye Square, we offer the freedom and lifestyle of Independent Living, along with the added support and safety of Assisted Living when needed. It’s a welcoming place where seniors can live life on their terms, with access to wellness programs, delicious dining, and a strong sense of community.

“Everything here at Nye Square is clean, and the team members are so friendly and helpful! I get to exercise at the wellness center four times a week, which allows me to continue to stay active and healthy. The food is excellent, especially on Tasty Tuesdays! Meal time gives me a social aspect and a true sense of community.”

Our focus at Nye Square is helping residents stay active, connected, and independent, while also providing the care they need when they need it.

Short Stay Rehabilitation and Respite Care at Nye Legacy and Nye Pointe

After surgery, illness, or hospitalization, many individuals need a place to recover before safely returning home. That’s where Nye Legacy comes in. We provide expert short-stay rehabilitation services and respite care, supported by a compassionate team of nurses, therapists, and caregivers.

Vern, a short-stay rehab guest at Nye Legacy, shared: “Nye Legacy feels like a second home when you need one. Everyone here is absolutely wonderful.”

We aim to not only help people regain strength and independence but also make them feel truly cared for, like family.

“Since moving to Nye Pointe, I’ve found such a wonderful friend in another Lois! We laugh together every day, and it’s those little joyful moments that make this place feel like home. There’s something special about sharing stories, smiles, and friendship, it really lifts your spirit.”
Lois, a resident at Nye Pointe, shared:

Nye Pointe is a place where clinical excellence meets personal connection, and that makes all the difference.
