I visited this facility

Crown Pointe seemed like it was a very good place to go. The staff or people who work there seemed very nice and very competent. The apartments looked like they were roomy and reasonably priced. They had activities and plenty of common spaces, and I liked the exercise room and the theater. Even the menu at the dining hall seemed pretty good.

My father moved into Crown Pointe. I'm very, very pleased with the support so far, everybody has been wonderful, he loves the meals, and he absolutely loves the room that we got him. It was everything that was on our short list of what we were looking for. It was on the first floor, right next to the dining area, and it had a separate bedroom. It met all of our needs, and they have been nothing but wonderful so far. The staff is absolutely wonderful, we had a little bit of a mix up with the medication, but they called me immediately, and straightened it out for us; it wasn't their fault that the medication was off. They took care of it immediately, let me know every single thing that was going on, and because he is currently in semi-quarantine due to COVID, they have been calling me at least once a day to let me know what's going on in his room, so believe me, it has been a wonderful experience. He has played bingo, gone to movie nights, and get-togethers. He hasn't gotten a chance to do the exercises and things like that that he wants to do because of the quarantine, but they're already set up to work with him on the mobility scooter we just bought.

I moved into Rolling Hills Ranch. They offer meals, transportation, activities, and Catholic mass. Most of the staff members are very good, caring, and they listen. The only problem I've had is with the housekeeping. They have bingo, poker, movies, cards, there are stores, an exercise room, a library, and a salon where you can get your hair cut.

Crown Pointe was very good and the food was very good. I liked the facility. The rooms were very nice and clean. The staff was friendly, outgoing, and accommodating. They just didn't have a Catholic chapel.

I was very impressed with Maple Ridge. The lady who showed me around was very knowledgeable and very kind. We had a nice conversation and I enjoyed her pleasant personality. The facilities were very clean and I can see the peace on the faces of the folks living there. The things to do there without even leaving the premises seem to cover all the bases. They seemed to have something for everyone. The idea of having meals prepared is going to be an important part of my needs in the future. Everything I saw was very nice. It's very comfortable and it gave the aura of pleasantness, like being at home.

Maple Ridge was very nice and new, and there were a lot of activities going on. It's open, bright, and big, but a lot more money than the others. The staff was good. They showed me a one-bedroom, a library, and an exercise room. The food was good.

Rolling Hills Ranch was very good. The people were very nice. If I had more money, I'd go there. They showed me their one-bedroom apartments, the cafeteria, and the laundry room. I saw people sitting around, talking, and playing cards. The food was good.

I visited this facility

Rolling Hills Ranch for its age looked very nice and well-kept. Almost everyone we met was very friendly. The tour was specific for what we asked them and we got a full tour of the entire facility. I have no complaints whatsoever and it was a very good experience. The physical appearance was good, clean, well-kept and satisfactory. The rooms upstairs kind of open to an open stairway, and that brings in lots of light. Even in the dining room, there was lots of light so it looked very cheerful. They had a dining room, recreation room, a place to show movies, and a chapel. They do field trips, transportation to doctor's appointments, and as far as inviting people in, they had this painting thing that we were asked to come to. The staff who gave us the tour was excellent. The cook brought some fresh chocolate chip cookies to my sister. The impression and the way they presented themselves were very good.

We put my mother-in-law in Rolling Hills Ranch. We were pleased with the community life that they offer. She's very happy and settled. They have a lot of different room sizes. The room that we chose for her was nice-sized square footage wise. It's a one-bedroom, little apartment. All her furniture that we took fit nicely. They showed us another room, which was much smaller. The staff has been very attentive. It's a very comfortable and welcoming place. There are a lot of activities that she has enjoyed. They spent a lot of time with us throughout the process. They have a physical therapy room.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Omaha

Medicaid in Nebraska

The Nebraska Medicaid program covers the cost of health care-related expenses for low-income Nebraskans. It’s administered by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services and must operate within parameters set forth by the federal government. Typical clients include families with children, pregnant women, disabled persons and elderly individuals. Covered services include physician and hospital services, laboratory tests, dental care and prescription medications. 

To qualify for Nebraska Medicaid as a senior, applicants must be 65 years of age or older and a state resident. The income limit for individuals is $1,041 per month, and for married couples, it’s $1,410. Applicants may not have resources greater than $4,000 if single and $6,000 if married. Some assets are exempt, including a primary home valued at less than $585,000, a single vehicle and an irrevocable burial fund. 

Seniors living in the Omaha area can apply online for Nebraska Medicaid. Alternatively, they can call (402) 595-1178 or visit the Omaha Department of Health and Human Services office at 1313 Farnam Street. 

The Aged and Disabled waiver is available to seniors who require a nursing level of care yet choose to live at home or within an assisted living community. The program is overseen by the Nebraska Medicaid and Long-Term Care Home and Community-Based Services Waivers Unit and partners participants with a services coordinator or social worker to determine the services required. If deemed necessary, the program covers the cost of assisted living, as well as some additional expenses that may include adult day services, assistive technologies and nonmedical transportation. 

To be eligible for this program, seniors must meet the financial qualifications for Nebraska Medicaid and be able to safely live outside of a skilled nursing facility. 

Seniors can apply online at ACCESS Nebraska or call (800) 358-8802. 

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

PACE

PACE is available to all residents of Douglas County. It provides seniors with coordinated, all-inclusive health care services through Immanuel Pathways. Those who participate in the program receive all services from a single provider to ensure they get the appropriate care for their individual needs. While PACE does not cover assisted living facility room and board, it does provide an array of medical and supportive services, including primary care, prescription medications, transportation, emergency services, physical therapy, social services and personal care.

Services are free of charge to those eligible for Nebraska Medicaid. Premiums and private-pay rates are charged for services if participants are exclusively eligible for Medicare or not eligible for either Medicaid or Medicare. To qualify for PACE, seniors must reside within the program’s service area and be age 55 or older. They also must require a nursing level of care and be able to safely reside within their community with supportive services. 

Seniors living in Omaha can contact Immanuel Pathways online for more information or apply for PACE by calling (402) 512-6199. 

Aid to the Aged, Blind or Disabled 

The AABD program is available to seniors aged 65 and older as well as blind or disabled persons who are unable to receive Supplemental Security Income. The program provides a cash payment that can be used toward the cost of long-term care, including room and board, in assisted living or other care facilities. 

To qualify for this benefit, seniors must be financially eligible for SSI but have been denied due to a lack of duration. The SSI income limits are $771 per individual and $1,157 for a couple before any allowed exclusions.

Seniors can submit their application to the AABD program via ACCESS Nebraska or call (800) 383-4278. 

Optional State Supplement

Seniors and disabled individuals who require financial assistance beyond Medicaid coverage may be able to apply for Nebraska’s Optional State Supplement program, which provides a cash benefit of up to $438 per month. The benefit exists to help those receiving long-term care pay for costs that aren’t covered by Medicaid, particularly room-and-board expenses. 

To qualify for the supplement, seniors must be 65 years of age or older and eligible for the federal SSI benefit. Applications can be filed by calling the Social Security Administration in Omaha at (800) 772-1213.
