What does in-home care cost in Omaha?

No Omaha figure is published; CareScout's 2025 Nebraska median for a non-medical home care worker is $36 an hour, $6,864 a month at 44 hours a week, and Medicare-covered home health visits cost an eligible patient nothing.

The AD Waiver can pay for personal care, chore, respite and adult day services at home for eligible Omaha residents, and ENOA runs its own personal care and homemaker programs for people 60 and older; start with ENOA at (402) 444-6444.

How do I choose an Omaha home health agency?

Ask whether the agency is Medicare-certified for the services ordered, how soon it can start after discharge, how often the nurse and therapists will visit, and who answers the phone after hours; the hospital or physician's order sets what Medicare covers.

The home health and hospice roster shows each agency with its CMS certification year and, where CMS publishes one, its quality of patient care star rating.

Can home health and hospice serve Omaha assisted living residents?

Yes. Nebraska requires an ALF resident who needs complex nursing interventions to arrange that care through private duty staff, a licensed home health agency or a licensed hospice, because ALF staff may not provide it themselves (175 NAC 4-006.07).

A resident can stay in the ALF under those arrangements when the resident or representative and the physician or RN agree it is appropriate and the care does not endanger others in the building.
