When trying to decide how to pay for assisted living, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living. To help shed light on real senior living prices, Caring.com has compiled proprietary cost data from its network of more than 75,000 senior living providers to provide insight into the average cost of assisted living in Omaha and 10 other cities in Nebraska.
While Nebraska’s financial assistance is limited to standard Medicare programs like SSDI and Medicare part D, the Nebraska Senior Health Insurance Information Program has been established to help seniors and people who need health insurance to understand the funding options that are available through Medicare.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Nebraska page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
