Overview of Astoria Senior Living

Astoria Senior Living is a 121-bed assisted living facility at 9220 Western Avenue, Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska, administered by Nicole Ellermeier. The facility offers personalized, resident-focused care with a continuum including assisted living, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation services designed to empower residents. Services include rehabilitation, short-term rehab, and licensed nurses and CNAs.

Astoria Senior Living provides assisted living services with rehabilitation and short-term rehab programming to support resident independence and recovery.

Astoria’s inspection record shows recent serious concerns. The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health, conducted 21 total visits and inspections. The most recent inspection on September 29, 2025, identified 9 deficiencies related to resident safety concerning potential self-harm behavior and statements. This inspection resulted in disciplinary action including prohibition on admitting new residents and a state fine. Earlier inspections showed mostly compliance with regulatory requirements, with occasional deficiencies involving call light response times and emergency procedure implementation, but no prior enforcement actions of similar severity were documented. Complaint investigations were largely unsubstantiated, with facility generally found compliant in abuse prevention, care provision, and medication administration. Prior enforcement included a fine in 2011 related to failure to monitor and address significant weight loss. No license suspensions or revocations appear in available records. The September 2025 disciplinary action represents a notable enforcement event and indicates recent increase in regulatory concerns compared to prior inspection history.

Occupancy reaches 79 percent with 96 residents in 121 beds, above the Nebraska state average of 70.3 percent, reflecting solid community demand. No federal penalties have been imposed in the past three years according to CMS records; however, recent state-level disciplinary action and fines occurred in September 2025.

Astoria Senior Living presents serious current concerns. The September 2025 deficiencies related to resident safety and self-harm, coupled with disciplinary enforcement and new admission prohibition, require direct inquiry.

Families should ask about specific incidents, current safety protocols, staff training and oversight, and corrective measures implemented since September 2025 before any placement consideration.
