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).

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).
