Not according to the state roster: Bridging Hands II 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 Royale Oaks / House of Hope Alzheimer's Care (Omaha, 1.9 mi), Aksarben Village Senior Living Community (Omaha, 4.4 mi), Legato Living on Eastridge (Omaha, 4.5 mi).
What happens at Bridging Hands II if savings run out?
The roster does not mark Bridging Hands II as certified for the Medicaid Aged and Disabled Waiver, so it cannot bill Medicaid for assisted living services, and a resident who runs out of money would usually need to move.
This matters for long stays. The closest waiver-certified ALFs are Quality Living Inc - Lied Assisted Living (1.9 mi), Royale Oaks / House of Hope Alzheimer's Care (1.9 mi), St. Joseph Tower Assisted Living (4.4 mi).
Where are the state inspection results for Bridging Hands II?
Nebraska does not publish assisted living inspection results in bulk; DHHS posts them one facility at a time through its LIS license search, and every resident of Bridging Hands II has a legal right to examine the most recent DHHS survey.
A survey that found problems is not unusual; what matters is what was cited and how it was fixed. Facilities answer non-urgent findings with a statement of compliance listing each correction and its timeline. Search the DHHS LIS license lookup.

- Ask what happens if your parent's savings run out, since the building is not waiver-certified.
- Ask for the written rate schedule and how much notice the facility gives before an increase; Nebraska requires written pricing for all services.
