Does Hillcrest Silver Ridge offer memory care?
The DHHS roster lists Hillcrest Silver Ridge 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.
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 Hillcrest Silver Ridge for its Alzheimer's special care disclosure, which state law requires. See how Nebraska regulates memory care.
Can a Medicaid waiver participant live at Hillcrest Silver Ridge?
The roster marks Hillcrest Silver Ridge 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 Hillcrest Silver Ridge recently?
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 Hillcrest Silver Ridge has a legal right to examine the most recent DHHS survey.
Because visits after licensure are either random or triggered, Hillcrest Silver Ridge's last survey could be recent or several years old. Ask for its date, what was cited, and whether any complaint investigation has happened since. Search the DHHS LIS license lookup.
