Autumn Pointe Assisted Living

What do DHHS records say about Autumn Pointe Assisted Living?

Autumn Pointe Assisted Living appears on Nebraska's current assisted living roster as ALF033, 62 beds, which makes it larger than the middle of the local roster (60 beds).

The roster names the licensee as Wilcox Properties of Fort Calhoun, LLC, a limited liability company. A license covers one licensee at one location and ends automatically on a change of ownership, so a new name in that field means a new license.

Does Autumn Pointe Assisted Living have a memory care unit?

Not according to the state roster: Autumn Pointe Assisted Living is listed with neither an Alzheimer's unit nor a memory care endorsement, so a resident whose dementia leads to wandering or unsafe behavior would usually move to a building that has one.

An ALF without a dementia unit can still serve residents with mild cognitive changes, as long as the resident service agreement covers their needs safely. The nearest licensed ALFs with a memory care endorsement are Ridgewood Active Retirement Community (Bennington, 10.8 mi), Royale Oaks / House of Hope Alzheimer's Care (Omaha, 11.7 mi), Legato Living on Eastridge (Omaha, 11.8 mi).

Is Autumn Pointe Assisted Living certified for the AD Waiver?

The roster marks Autumn Pointe Assisted Living as certified for the Medicaid Aged and Disabled Waiver, so it can bill the waiver's Supported Residential Living service for eligible residents; the resident still pays room and board from their own income.

Waiver certification is the key question for families who expect savings to run out. Ask the facility in writing whether a current resident can convert to the waiver and stay in the same apartment. See how the AD Waiver pays for assisted living.

How can we see Nebraska's inspection reports for Autumn Pointe Assisted Living?

No bulk inspection data exists for Nebraska ALFs: results for Autumn Pointe Assisted Living are on the state's LIS lookup, and the facility must let residents examine its most recent survey.

Inspections after the first license are not on a fixed cycle. The rule allows random inspections of up to 25% of ALFs a year and focused visits triggered by complaints, harm to a resident or five years without an inspection (175 NAC 4-005.04). Search the DHHS LIS license lookup.

What should we ask on a tour of Autumn Pointe Assisted Living?

Use the state data to steer the tour: ask for the most recent DHHS inspection report and the facility's statement of compliance for anything cited.

• The roster flags complex nursing interventions; ask which outside home health or hospice agencies provide that care and who arranges it.
• Ask how many direct care staff are awake overnight and who gives medications (a nurse or a registered medication aide).
• Ask what the room-and-board charge is for a Medicaid waiver resident and whether one is open now.
• Ask for the written rate schedule and how much notice the facility gives before an increase; Nebraska requires written pricing for all services.
