I would not recommend Bickford of Omaha - Hickory. If your parent doesn't have any issues at all, then it might be fine. They call themselves a memory care unit, but they don’t want to deal with a resident who maybe can’t find his way into his own room and wanders into other rooms. They’re burdened by if you’re parent ...

Cost of Assisted Living Comparison Chart
Senior care costs vary quite a bit depending on the type of care required. In Omaha, the average monthly cost of nursing home care is $6,965, which is nearly $2,700 more than that of assisted living. While homemaker and home health care services cost only slightly more than assisted living, it’s important to consider the additional expenses that come with living at home, including rent/mortgage, groceries and some utilities, which are normally included with assisted living.

The Nebraska Medicaid program covers the cost of health care-related expenses for low-income Nebraskans. It’s administered by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services and must operate within parameters set forth by the federal government. Typical clients include families with children, pregnant women, disabled persons and elderly individuals. Covered services include physician and hospital services, laboratory tests, dental care and prescription medications.
To qualify for Nebraska Medicaid as a senior, applicants must be 65 years of age or older and a state resident. The income limit for individuals is $1,041 per month, and for married couples, it’s $1,410. Applicants may not have resources greater than $4,000 if single and $6,000 if married. Some assets are exempt, including a primary home valued at less than $585,000, a single vehicle and an irrevocable burial fund.
Seniors living in the Omaha area can apply online for Nebraska Medicaid. Alternatively, they can call (402) 595-1178 or visit the Omaha Department of Health and Human Services office at 1313 Farnam Street.
The Aged and Disabled waiver is available to seniors who require a nursing level of care yet choose to live at home or within an assisted living community. The program is overseen by the Nebraska Medicaid and Long-Term Care Home and Community-Based Services Waivers Unit and partners participants with a services coordinator or social worker to determine the services required. If deemed necessary, the program covers the cost of assisted living, as well as some additional expenses that may include adult day services, assistive technologies and nonmedical transportation.
To be eligible for this program, seniors must meet the financial qualifications for Nebraska Medicaid and be able to safely live outside of a skilled nursing facility.
Seniors can apply online at ACCESS Nebraska or call (800) 358-8802.

Services are free of charge to those eligible for Nebraska Medicaid. Premiums and private-pay rates are charged for services if participants are exclusively eligible for Medicare or not eligible for either Medicaid or Medicare. To qualify for PACE, seniors must reside within the program’s service area and be age 55 or older. They also must require a nursing level of care and be able to safely reside within their community with supportive services.

Aid to the Aged, Blind or Disabled
The AABD program is available to seniors aged 65 and older as well as blind or disabled persons who are unable to receive Supplemental Security Income. The program provides a cash payment that can be used toward the cost of long-term care, including room and board, in assisted living or other care facilities.
To qualify for this benefit, seniors must be financially eligible for SSI but have been denied due to a lack of duration. The SSI income limits are $771 per individual and $1,157 for a couple before any allowed exclusions.
Seniors can submit their application to the AABD program via ACCESS Nebraska or call (800) 383-4278.

The benefit exists to help those receiving long-term care pay for costs that aren’t covered by Medicaid, particularly room-and-board expenses.
To qualify for the supplement, seniors must be 65 years of age or older and eligible for the federal SSI benefit. Applications can be filed by calling the Social Security Administration in Omaha at (800) 772-1213.
