What if a resident of New Cassel Retirement Center develops dementia?
Not according to the state roster: New Cassel Retirement Center 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 An Angel's Touch (Omaha, same ZIP code), An Angel's Touch (Omaha, same ZIP code), Astoria Senior Living (Omaha, same ZIP code).
Is New Cassel Retirement Center certified for the AD Waiver?
The roster marks New Cassel Retirement Center 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.
Ask whether a waiver apartment is open, what the room-and-board charge is, and what happens if a private-pay resident later spends down and becomes waiver-eligible. See how the AD Waiver pays for assisted living.
Where are the state inspection results for New Cassel Retirement Center?
DHHS makes ALF inspection results viewable only through its LIS license lookup, one facility at a time, so we cannot show New Cassel Retirement Center's survey history here; ask the facility for its latest survey, which residents are entitled to see.
Because visits after licensure are either random or triggered, New Cassel Retirement Center'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.
