An ALF without a dementia unit can still serve residents with mild cognitive changes, as long as the resident service agreement covers their needs safely.

Is Liberty House, Wahoo certified for the AD Waiver?
The roster marks Liberty House, Wahoo 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 Liberty House, Wahoo?
