Can Ridgewood Active Retirement Community care for someone with dementia?
The DHHS roster lists Ridgewood Active 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.
For Ridgewood Active Retirement Community, that means asking for the written move-in and move-out criteria first, then the overnight staffing on the dementia unit, since the rule (175 NAC 4-006.11E) sets no ratio. 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 Ridgewood Active Retirement Community for its Alzheimer's special care disclosure, which state law requires. See how Nebraska regulates memory care.
Does Ridgewood Active Retirement Community accept Nebraska Medicaid?
The roster marks Ridgewood Active 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.
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.
How can we see Nebraska's inspection reports for Ridgewood Active Retirement Community?
DHHS makes ALF inspection results viewable only through its LIS license lookup, one facility at a time, so we cannot show Ridgewood Active Retirement Community's survey history here; ask the facility for its latest survey, which residents are entitled to see.
Inspections after the first license are not on a fixed cycle. The rule allows random inspections of up to 25% of ALFs a year and focused visits triggered by complaints, harm to a resident or five years without an inspection (175 NAC 4-005.04). Search the DHHS LIS license lookup.
