Overview of Echo Hills Assisted Living and Memory Care

Echo Hills Assisted Living and Memory Care is on Echo Hills Drive in Omaha, Nebraska. It offers both assisted living and memory care under one roof.

For a family whose parent is starting to show memory changes, that combination is worth a look. It means the level of support can shift without another move. One thing to plan for: this is a car-dependent pocket of Omaha, with a Walk Score of 22, so most errands and visits will mean driving.

The community runs 152 beds in total. Care comes from licensed nurses and CNAs, and staff are on-site around the clock. That overnight coverage is the part that tends to matter most for memory care, when someone needs help at an hour no one planned for.

Each resident carries a personal safety pendant for 24-hour assistance. It is a small thing that answers a real worry: a fall, or a bad moment when no one is in the room. Meals are home-cooked, three a day. Housekeeping and flat linen service come weekly, so no one is managing laundry or tidying on their own. Wireless internet is included, and so are the utilities except phone.

There is a wellness room, a chapel, a theatre, and a coffee shop, plus community rooms families can book for their own gatherings. Regular activities give people a reason to get out of their apartments. Pets are allowed too, which can mean a resident keeps a companion animal through the move.

Mindy Curington administers the community. For pricing, availability, or a tour, the clearest path is to reach Echo Hills directly and sort out the details for your own situation.

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.
