The roster names the licensee as Crowell Memorial Home, the business named on the roster. 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 Crowell Memorial Home have a memory care unit?
Not according to the state roster: Crowell Memorial Home 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.
Early-stage dementia does not by itself require a move; the test is whether the facility can meet the needs written into the resident's service agreement. The nearest licensed ALFs with a memory care endorsement are Ridgewood Active Retirement Community (Bennington, 11.6 mi), Heritage Pointe Assisted Living (Omaha, 16.7 mi), The Bellflower at Whispering Ridge (Omaha, 16.7 mi).
Can a Medicaid waiver participant live at Crowell Memorial Home?
The roster marks Crowell Memorial Home 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.
Has Nebraska inspected Crowell Memorial Home recently?
The fastest route to Crowell Memorial Home's inspection history is to ask the administrator for the latest DHHS survey, which residents may examine by right; the same results are viewable, one facility at a time, in the state's LIS lookup.
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.
