Planning commission approves permit for memory care facility in home near 42nd and Prescott

The Lincoln-Lancaster County Planning Commission has approved a conditional use permit for a new memory care facility to be located in a home near 42nd Street and Prescott Avenue. The facility, proposed by the owners of the home, will cater to individuals with memory-related conditions like Alzheimer's and dementia. The approval came with conditions to ensure the facility blends with the neighborhood's residential character, including restrictions on external modifications to the home and requirements for maintaining the property's residential appearance. The facility will provide care for up to 10 residents, offering a more intimate and home-like environment compared to larger institutions. The decision was supported by neighbors who see the need for such facilities in the community, although some concerns were raised about potential impacts on property values and neighborhood aesthetics.
