Crowell Home sits high on a shady hillside, overlooking Blair, Nebraska, and the beautiful Missouri River Valley. It was founded in 1905 when Christopher Columbus and Polly Crowell donated their mansion to be used as a retirement home.

We are a non-profit facility dedicated to providing care to all.
A Medicare/Medicaid certified facility, we offer a full continuum of care with 96 skilled nursing beds, a secured Unit, 18 assisted living apartments and eight independent living apartments. Crowell Home is one of only ten Nebraska Nursing Homes to qualify as a founding member of Nebraska's "I Support Quality of Life Project" - read more about the program. Nursing Homes in this resident-centered program implement changes to further improve the quality of life and care in their facility.

It is the mission of Crowell Foundation to support the initiatives of Crowell Home by serving as the fundraising affiliate so that our residents experience an enhanced quality of life and our donors feel a worthwhile connection to the Home's Christian tradition.
   
We also feel very fortunate to have three vehicles to transport residents. The vans are primarily for taking residents to medical appointments. Our bus generally is used for resident's outings, including shopping trips, rides throughout the area and excursions to special events.
