Overview of Cedarhurst of La Vista

Cedarhurst of La Vista sits at 8140 S 97th Plaza in La Vista, Nebraska. It’s an assisted living community, and the neighborhood around it is only somewhat walkable, with a Walk Score of 41. A few things are reachable on foot. Most outings will need a car or a scheduled ride, so visiting family may want to plan how they’ll get around.

The community runs 156 beds. Care happens on-site: nursing, rehabilitation, and respite stays for people who need help for a shorter stretch. Staff are there day and night. Residents who are healing from surgery or an illness can get therapy without leaving the building, which keeps their recovery from being broken up by outside appointments.

Dining runs full-service and all-day, and social events are on the calendar every day. Housekeeping comes weekly, transportation is scheduled, and a salon is on-site. When residents want to slow down, there are landscaped courtyards and a private movie theater.
Care starts from a wellness plan built around each person. Pets are welcome, so a companion animal can come along. Monthly pricing starts at $4,900.

When the state reviews this community, the focus tends to land on how staff are credentialed and scheduled, and on how resident care is planned and documented. Those are the everyday things regulators watch across assisted living, not signs of any one problem.

What you get here is a mid-sized community with real clinical support on-site, a deep bench of amenities, and room for a pet, set in a quieter, drive-first corner of La Vista.

Spark® Wellness is their named program, drawing on Montessori methods around engagement and purpose. The activity calendar runs seven days a week: games, social gatherings, outings, fitness classes, lifelong learning offerings, worship services. The pet-friendly policy matters for older adults. The amenities list is dense: fitness center, salon, spa, bistro, cafe, movie theater, pickleball, billiards, courtyard, private dining, transportation, wifi, housekeeping, laundry, linen service.

The neighborhood Walk Score is 54, which is moderately walkable but not highly so. The facility includes 60 photos in its ALM listing, which suggests documented physical infrastructure.

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.
