Does The Brant at Gretna offer memory care?
The DHHS roster lists The Brant at Gretna with an Alzheimer's unit but no 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). It does not hold the separate memory care endorsement, so ask what dementia training and overnight staffing it provides beyond the base rule. Ask The Brant at Gretna for its Alzheimer's special care disclosure, which state law requires. See how Nebraska regulates memory care.
Does The Brant at Gretna accept Nebraska Medicaid?
The roster does not mark The Brant at Gretna as certified for the Medicaid Aged and Disabled Waiver, so it cannot bill Medicaid for assisted living services, and a resident who runs out of money would usually need to move.
This matters for long stays. The closest waiver-certified ALFs are Bailey Pointe at Roxbury Park (4.5 mi), Edgewood Omaha Senior Living, LLC (4.7 mi), Hillcrest Silver Ridge (5.6 mi).
How can we see Nebraska's inspection reports for The Brant at Gretna?
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 The Brant at Gretna has a legal right to examine the most recent DHHS survey.
A survey that found problems is not unusual; what matters is what was cited and how it was fixed. Facilities answer non-urgent findings with a statement of compliance listing each correction and its timeline. Search the DHHS LIS license lookup.

What should we ask on a tour of The Brant at Gretna?

- Ask how many direct care staff are awake overnight and who gives medications (a nurse or a registered medication aide).
- Ask what happens if your parent's savings run out, since the building is not waiver-certified.
- Ask for the written rate schedule and how much notice the facility gives before an increase; Nebraska requires written pricing for all services.
