Why Choose an Assisted Living Facility in Nebraska?
Older people needing health care, attentive and loving caregivers, as well as access to the social opportunities and local activities that Nebraska has to offer, will benefit immensely from staying at an assisted living facility in Nebraska.
Residents can expect to receive a lot of help with laundry, meal services, housekeeping duties, transportation, as well as 24-hour safety surveillance.
Nebraska is also the perfect home for a rapidly increasing number of seniors, with adults aged 65 and older constituting an approximated 15 percent of the population.
Nebraska offers several benefits to retirees that you can find in only a handful of communities across the United States. For instance, the cost of living in Nebraska is incredibly low, such that it has been ranked among the top ten states when it comes to the overall well-being of the elderly.
Generally, the residents living in this mid-western state on the Great Plains are friendly, genuine, and very easy to interact with. Retirees will enjoy lots of outdoor attractions, culture, and even entertainment in cities like Omaha and Lincoln.
Nebraska is one of the few states in the U.S. that boasts of a housing index of 88.40, which is quite lower than the national average. This implies that Nebraska is a comparatively affordable place to retire in.
Assisted living facilities in Nebraska are scattered throughout the Cornhusker State to serve seniors who need some help with their day-to-day tasks.
If you have a senior citizen that needs extensive care and supervision with 24/7 skilled nursing, the best place to get adequate attention is at a nursing home where highly skilled nurses and professional staff can render the care they need along with therapies, medication, and rehabilitation. If, however, your senior’s needs are lower than what is provided in a nursing home, assisted living facilities in Nebraska may be the perfect new home for them.
Seniors who love bird watching, fishing, and hunting will feel at home in Nebraska. The territorial division is also filled with an abundance of entertainment opportunities and vibrant culture such that your loved one will never be bored. Spectators, for instance, can visit the museums or art galleries in Lincoln and Omaha with a little help, of course.
Nebraska is going to be a home away from home for your loved one. You can be at peace, knowing that your elderly adults will be well taken care of by the expert senior caregivers as they age in place at a Nebraska assisted living facility.
Cost and Payment Options for Assisted Living in Nebraska
Statewide, Nebraska assisted living base-rate monthly costs run around $3,844. That’s somewhat below the national average of $4,000 but not enough to put Nebraska at one of the most affordable. In fact, depending on where in Nebraska you live, the monthly senior living unit rental can skyrocket well above the national average. What we mean by base-rate is not including Nebraska dementia care or any specialized needs.
The least expensive assisted living you’ll be able to find in Nebraska is in Grand Island Metro, which hovers around the state average of $3,844. But, if you venture into Omaha, you will pay at least $4,285 and in Lincoln an astronomical $5,429 per month on average. If you add memory care, you will have to spend $768 to $1063 more per month. This can bring you closer to $6,000, which is not affordable for many seniors and their families. In fact, memory care costs are the second highest senior care costs other than retirement homes in Nebraska, which cost even more.
There is one option that helps pay for senior living in Nebraska that will supplement you with personal services payment, but not room and board. There are very few Medicaid waiver programs if there are any at all that will pay room and board in any given state, and Nebraska is no different. These waivers are there to do two things: one, to keep the cost to the state down considerably and two: to make sure the senior can stay at home and help themselves for as long as possible before entering either Nebraska assisted living or nursing home care. One reason serves the other. Such waiver in Nebraska is called Aged and Disabled waiver or HCBS. There are income caps and other requirements. They are the same requirements you need to be approved for Medicaid.
Apart from any form of Medicaid, do research other options to help pay for senior living in Nebraska, such as reverse mortgage and long-term-care insurance that may accept you up to your early to mid-70’s. There is also help available from retiree benefits such as for police and fire employees. Also do not forget about military vet benefits and the numerous national and state nonprofits that will help pay for assisted living costs.
