Overview of Omaha Nursing and Rehabilitation

Serving the Omaha area for 42 years, Omaha Nursing and Rehabilitation is a 70-bed nursing home and memory care community owned by Malene Davis and administered by Neil Hayhurst in Omaha, Nebraska. Operated by Southside Healthcare, Inc, it typically runs near full, with an 83 percent occupancy rate and residents averaging 135 days of stay. This indicates a mix of shorter rehabilitation stays and longer-term nursing care. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted to give families multiple ways to fund care costs.

Nursing staff provide an average of 3 hours 25 minutes of diligent care per resident day, combining registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, and nurse aide support. The community also offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, supporting occupants convalescing from surgery, illness, or a hospital stay, plus those receiving ongoing skilled nursing care. The surrounding neighborhood has a Walk Score of 68, so some errands can be done on foot, while others call for a car. That gives visiting families a workable blend of walkability and easy driving access when coming to see a loved one.

Community state inspections have most often centered on care planning and documentation practices: monitoring resident weight and completing investigations on time, alongside periods when the facility was found to meet full licensure requirements. Families touring the home can ask staff how such areas are monitored every day.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Nebraska Medicaid cover memory care?

Nebraska Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 113 memory care communities in Nebraska. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
