Generations, a long-term nursing
facility in Lincoln was recently placed on the Telligen's National
Nursing Home Quality Care Collaborative Honor Roll. Ranked in the
top 10 percentile of facility measured by Tellegin, the Generations
facility in Lincoln was recognized as being among those that
have"made the most improvements in a wide list of criteria."
Telligen’s honor roll grades skilled nursing facilities on how well
they follow recommendations that can help residents improve their
mobility, lower the volume of medications they need, use medical
data more effectively, prevent return trips to hospitals and more.

At the Monday, August 6th meeting of the Lincoln City Council
aldermen passed a resolution that paves the way for the city to
purchase the empty lot east of the current city hall/fire station.
Fire Chief Mark Miller brought the request to the city a few weeks
ago, saying that the seller had come down considerably on the asking
price and the city should be able to purchase the property for
$70,000, about half the original asking price.
Miller said while there were no immediate plans to build a new fire
station building, this lot would be the first step in a long-range
plan. That plan may include building a department annex building
that would be large enough to house the city's firefighting
apparatus.
During the talks about this property Mayor Seth Goodman said that
while his real estate agency had at one time been involved with this
property that was no longer the case. Therefore he assured the
aldermen that he nor his business would stand to gain anything from
the sale of the property to the city.
