At Kinship Pointe, we believe that staying independent means having the right tools and connections right here in town. This guide is designed to help you navigate the local services that make Seward such an easy place to call home.

1. Getting Around: Local Transportation

You don’t need to worry about city traffic or parking. Seward offers excellent transit options designed specifically for seniors:

• The Seward Senior Shuttle: Operating through the Lied Senior Center, this shuttle offers rides within city limits for a suggested donation of just $1 per trip. Call 402-643-3177 to schedule.

• Seward County Public Transit: For trips beyond city limits—including affordable routes to Lincoln or York—this ADA-compliant service is a lifesaver. Call 402-643-4067 for fares and scheduling.

2. Healthcare & Wellness

Seward is home to a robust medical corridor, ensuring you have "Big City" expertise with a "Small-Town" feel:

• Memorial Health Care Systems (MHCS): Our local hospital and clinic are leaders in senior care. Don’t miss their Annual Health Fair every April for low-cost screenings.

• Seward County Aging Services: Located at the Lied Senior Center, they provide free Medicare Part D counseling (SHIIP) and health education programs. Call 402-643-4466.

• Local Pharmacies: Both Pac N Save Pharmacy and Clabaugh Pharmacy offer free local delivery to Seward residents, making medication management stress-free.

3. Socializing & Staying Active

Isolation is the enemy of health. Seward offers plenty of ways to stay involved:

• Lied Senior Center: From "Fun and Fitness" classes to card parties and congregate meals, this is the social hub of Seward.

• Milford Senior Center: Just a short drive away, offering yoga, Tai Chi, and creative crafting groups.

• Community Events: Enjoy seasonal favorites like the Seward County Fair, Fourth of July celebrations, and the local Farmer’s Market.

4. Direct Assistance & Support

If you ever need a little extra help navigating paperwork or finding home services:

• Aging Partners: Our regional connection for legal services, caregiver support, and personal emergency response systems.

• Handyman & Meal Services: Access "Home Delivered Meals" or the "Senior Companion" program through Seward County Aging Services to help you stay independent longer.

The Kinship Pointe Seward Advantage: At Kinship Pointe, we integrate these local resources into our daily life. Our shuttle takes residents to the Senior Center, our kitchen serves nutritious meals, and our staff helps coordinate with local pharmacies and MHCS doctors so you don't have to.
