Good Samaritan Society - Ridgeview Heights

How Medicaid pays for care in Nebraska

• Medicaid HCBS Aged and Disabled (AD) Waiver: Supported Residential Living (formerly Assisted Living). Nebraska Medicaid's Aged and Disabled Waiver pays for a service called Supported Residential Living, which used to be called Assisted Living, in licensed assisted living facilities. You must get Nebraska Medicaid and need a nursing-home level of care, and you pay the room and board yourself. (state page)
• Waitlist. Nebraska's draft 2026 waiver renewal says there is no waiting list for the Aged and Disabled waiver. (source)

Ask the community whether it accepts Medicaid.
