What memory care designations does Cedarhurst of La Vista hold?
The DHHS roster lists Cedarhurst of La Vista with a memory care endorsement, which means it represents itself to the state as specializing in care for residents with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia.
A facility or unit that specializes in dementia care must give families its written admission, discharge and transfer criteria before move-in and keep direct care staff awake, dressed and available at all hours (175 NAC 4-006.11E). The memory care endorsement is a separate state credential created by LB698 (Neb. Rev. Stat. 71-472) for ALFs that prove enhanced staffing, training, programming and security. Ask Cedarhurst of La Vista for its Alzheimer's special care disclosure, which state law requires. See how Nebraska regulates memory care.
Is Cedarhurst of La Vista certified for the Medicaid AD Waiver?
The roster does not mark Cedarhurst of La Vista 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.
Ask about this before signing. The closest waiver-certified ALFs are Homestead of La Vista (same ZIP code), Bailey Pointe at Roxbury Park (3.1 mi), Southview Heights (4.0 mi).
Has Nebraska inspected Cedarhurst of La Vista recently?
DHHS makes ALF inspection results viewable only through its LIS license lookup, one facility at a time, so we cannot show Cedarhurst of La Vista's survey history here; ask the facility for its latest survey, which residents are entitled to see.
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.

- Ask for the written rate schedule and how much notice the facility gives before an increase; Nebraska requires written pricing for all services.
