Via Christe
3636 California Street, Omaha, NE 68131
Via Christe, nestled in the historic Cathedral neighborhood of Omaha, Nebraska, is an assisted living community that opened its doors in October 2005. The community that once started as part of Duchesne College has transformed a 41,150 square foot building into a caring space focused on providing seniors with the assistance they need while encouraging independence. The establishment provides various levels of care for those who may not be able to live alone safely yet do not require the services of a nursing home. Via Christe is committed to building a friendly and warm atmosphere that visitors can feel as soon as they enter. It offers private and semi-private apartments in a family-style environment that holds Christian values at its core. The college-era structure has been renovated to offer assisted living and memory care spaces that adjust to meet the residents' changing needs, all while upholding health, safety, and nutrition standards.
