Overview of Emerald Nursing & Rehab Cozad

Emerald Nursing & Rehab Cozad in Cozad, Nebraska, provides assisted living, nursing home, and skilled nursing care.

Overview of Kimball County Manor

Kimball County Manor provides nursing home, skilled nursing, assisted living, adult day care, hospice care, and respite care in Kimball, Nebraska. Skilled nursing and nursing home care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment.

Adult day care offers daytime care and activities. Hospice care supports comfort focused care for someone with a life limiting illness, and respite care provides a short stay for a family caregiver who needs to travel or recover. The combination of assisted living and skilled nursing may be a good fit for a resident whose care needs may grow over time, since both levels are available within the same community.

Kimball County Manor has 49 beds, placing it within the smaller community range where staff and residents get to know each other. Rehabilitation services and a restorative therapy program give residents access to therapy through the community’s programs, while the salon and spa provide on site grooming services. Van transportation is also available for supported travel beyond the community.

Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 18 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time assigned to each resident. Payment options are Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay; Medicaid can assist families whose savings may not cover a long stay, while Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence. Sarah Stull serves as the administrator. A Walk Score of 58 places the area in the somewhat walkable range, where some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still be able to get out independently for select errands.

With 121 beds, the community is currently at 79% occupancy. Meanwhile, a Walk Score of 51 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, so some errands can be done on foot. This also suggests that a resident who no longer drives may be able to manage certain nearby errands independently.

Overview of Heritage Crossings

Heritage Crossings provides nursing home and skilled nursing care, assisted living, independent living, and Adult Day Care in Geneva, Nebraska. Skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living supports daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medication. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, and Adult Day Care supports people who need care during the day without moving into residential care.

The range of residential care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since care can change without leaving the community. Heritage Crossings has 30 beds, so it is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other. Private and companion rooms are available. A private room provides a single living space, while a companion room suits someone who wants to share with another resident.

Occupational, physical, and speech therapies are available through the community, along with a Short Term Rehab program for rehabilitation services. A salon and spa support on site grooming, while outdoor walking paths give residents a place to walk outside. Pastoral services and an all faith chapel provide space for residents who want religious services.

Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 21 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time assigned per resident. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted; Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while Medicaid can help when savings may not cover a long stay. Sherri Due serves as administrator, and Vsl Geneva operates the community. A Walk Score of 45 out of 100 places the area in a car dependent band, meaning most errands require a car or a ride, and a resident who no longer drives would generally need transportation for routine errands.

Overview of Hickory Villa

Hickory Villa provides assisted living and respite care in Omaha, Nebraska.

Overview of Good Shepherd Lutheran Home

In Blair, Nebraska, Good Shepherd Lutheran Home combines three levels of care under one roof: nursing home, assisted living, and independent living. The 84-bed community sits at 2242 Wright Street, in a very walkable stretch of town (Walk Score 78) where most daily errands don’t require a car. Blair NF Operations, LLC owns the property, with Serena Smith administering day-to-day operations.

Of the 84 beds, 71 are filled, putting the community at 84% capacity. Nursing coverage totals close to four hours per resident per day, split across registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides.

Short-term rehab and broader rehabilitation services are available on-site, so residents working back from surgery or a hospital stay don’t need to leave the building for therapy. Respite care gives families a temporary option when they need coverage without a long-term commitment. Good Shepherd also participates in HUD Housing, which can open placement to residents working within a housing subsidy. Pets are welcome, and daily life includes private bathrooms, a shared kitchen area, a social gathering room, and an on-site beauty shop.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, so the path to covering care doesn’t hinge on any single payment source. From the nursing, assisted living, and independent living options, the community is clearly built to hold residents across a wide range of needs, from short post-hospital rehab stays to longer-term skilled nursing to a more self-directed daily routine.

Overview of Grandview Partners

Grandview Partners is an assisted living community in Elkhorn, Nebraska. Elkhorn sits on the western edge of the Omaha metro, so it has a quieter, suburban feel while staying close to the larger city. You’ll find the community at 3720 George B Lake Parkway.

It’s a smaller place with 46 beds, it falls into the size range where staff can know residents by name and the day-to-day feels less like a big institution. That scale matters to a lot of families. A parent is a person, not a room number, and a smaller community makes that easier to hold onto.

One practical note on location: the Walk Score here is 6, which means car-dependent. Errands and outings will mean a drive, not a stroll down the block. Plan on visiting by car, and ask how the community handles rides to appointments and activities.

State inspection history for the community goes back to 2021. What’s come up has centered on care planning and documentation.

Overview of Chimney Rock Villa

Chimney Rock Villa is a 49-bed nursing home owned by the City of Bayard in rural Bayard, Nebraska. The facility operates under a payment framework that accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay options. For visitors, the surrounding rural neighborhood is mostly car-dependent with a walkability score of 29 out of 100, meaning family members will generally need a personal vehicle to travel to the property or manage errands.

Stays average around 406 days, demonstrating a workload that shifts primarily toward permanent, extended nursing placements rather than rapid short-term therapy loops. This baseline caseload utilizes 65 percent of the building’s overall capacity. To manage daily care, around-the-clock staffing delivers an average of 4 hours and 18 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day, with a combined team of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides handling post-hospital recovery and standard physical conditioning.

State records present a long-term look at the property’s compliance tracking history. Health department inspection logs confirm that the facility adjusted its operational protocols to address past tracking notes regarding wound care and infection prevention, leaving the building free of recent citations and maintaining an overall cumulative citations-per-inspection rate of zero.

Older adults will find a quiet, small-scale layout configured for essential medical oversight and physical therapy tracks. Daily meals are planned by the kitchen to meet standard nutritional guidelines and are served in a centralized community dining room. The routine pairs personal care assistance and laundry services with comfortable common lounges, structured exercise blocks, and flexible hours for family visits.

Overview of Sutton Community Home

In rural Clay County, Sutton Community Home has built its 31-bed footprint around rehabilitation and steady daily nursing support. The neighborhood carries a Walk Score of 50, moderately walkable, so a handful of errands are doable on foot even out here. Right now the home carries 19 residents against its 31 beds, putting occupancy at 62%.

On-site rehabilitation covers speech and language pathology alongside restorative therapy, giving residents recovering strength or communication skills a place to work on it without leaving the building. Staffing backs that up. Total nursing care runs 5 hours and 55 minutes per resident each day, and nurse aides add another 3 hours and 56 minutes on top of that.

A beauty shop, an outdoor eating area, and a common space for gatherings round out daily life here, small touches that matter in a rural setting where options are limited. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are all accepted, so families have more than one way to finance a stay.

Sutton Community Home reads as a modest, rural nursing home built for residents who need real rehabilitation support and consistent nursing hours, not a resort-style community, but a place doing the fundamentals with care.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Nebraska

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Nebraska?

Assisted living in Nebraska supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Nebraska?

Assisted living in Nebraska is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Nebraska Medicaid cover assisted living?

Nebraska Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Nebraska) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 176 assisted living facilities in Nebraska. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Nebraska?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Nebraska, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Nebraska?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
