"Ongoing Success"

Mary Hepburn O'Shea, MSW, has pioneered in Nebraska the integrated use of bio-social day centers with residential programs. Forty years of delivery in community-based services to adults with disabilities and to seniors, has produced hundreds of success stories.

Each day, by working towards the realization of the client's potential, medical and emotional setbacks decrease. Isolation dissolves and becomes healthy integration into the community.

The challenge is to always improve on service to the client's Ms. Hepburn O'Shea serves. South Ville is the largest addition to her efforts to create the best community-based system in the nation for disabled adults. South Ville joins eight residential care facilities that range from independent living living to comprehensive psychiatric rehabilitation. There are five distinct levels of care all designed to meet the needs and abilities of the resident.
