Astoria Senior Living operates a 121-bed assisted living facility at 9220 Western Avenue in Omaha, Omaha County, Nebraska, under the administration of Nicole Ellermeier. The facility is licensed with an Alzheimer’s Memory Care endorsement covering 25 specialized beds and provides assisted living, short-term rehabilitation, and nursing services to residents requiring daily living assistance. Current occupancy of 79% (96 residents) exceeds the Nebraska state average of 70.3%, reflecting consistent community utilization.
The regulatory record prior to September 2025 demonstrated compliance strength. Over 14 years (2011-2023), the facility recorded only nine total deficiencies; 83% fewer than comparable Nebraska assisted living homes.
Complaint investigations were predominantly unsubstantiated, with facility findings of compliance in areas including abuse prevention, care delivery, and medication administration. One fine in 2011 addressed failure to monitor weight loss; another compliance inspection in 2018 cited a single deficiency related to call light response times.
Licensing renewals through 2023 showed no deficiencies or enforcement actions.
On September 29, 2025, regulatory circumstances changed materially. An inspection identified nine resident safety deficiencies specifically involving potential self-harm behavior and statements. The state imposed disciplinary action: prohibition on admitting new residents and a $1,000 fine, with finalization date of October 22, 2025. This represents the facility’s first serious enforcement action since 2011 and contrasts sharply with the 14-year prior history of minimal citations and unsubstantiated complaints.
Astoria Senior Living underwent a significant shift from long-term compliance to current serious regulatory enforcement.
The walk score of 51 indicates moderate walkability in a neighborhood 6.2 miles from downtown Omaha.
The September 2025 resident safety deficiencies and subsequent admission prohibition require direct inquiry regarding incident specifics, current safety protocols, staff training enhancements, and corrective measures implemented since the disciplinary notice.
