What memory care designations does Heritage Ridge Retirement Community hold?
The DHHS roster lists Heritage Ridge Retirement Community with both an Alzheimer's unit and 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.
Nebraska's dementia-unit rule requires awake, dressed and available direct care staff around the clock and written move-in and move-out criteria handed to the family in advance (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 Heritage Ridge Retirement Community for its Alzheimer's special care disclosure, which state law requires. See how Nebraska regulates memory care.
Is Heritage Ridge Retirement Community certified for the AD Waiver?
The roster marks Heritage Ridge Retirement Community 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.
Certification does not guarantee an opening for a waiver resident. Ask how many waiver residents the building serves now, what it charges for room and board, and whether it offers the private room with toilet and sink that the waiver requires. See how the AD Waiver pays for assisted living.
How can we see Nebraska's inspection reports for Heritage Ridge Retirement Community?
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 Heritage Ridge Retirement Community has a legal right to examine the most recent DHHS survey.
After licensure, DHHS inspects unannounced: a random sample of up to a quarter of ALFs each year, plus focused inspections after complaints, serious incidents, ownership or service changes, or five years without a visit (175 NAC 4-005.04). Search the DHHS LIS license lookup.
