How We Chose the Best Assisted Living in Omaha 

When considering assisted living communities throughout Omaha, we want to cover the most important factors for seniors and their family members. During our research, we focused on the following criteria to help find the best assisted living communities in Omaha, Nebraska.

  • Cost: The cost of assisted living varies substantially from one community to the next in Omaha, but you can often gauge your approximate costs based on the size of the room and the level of care you require.
  • Available care: Some assisted living communities provide multiple types of care. We try to focus our attention on communities that offer more than just assisted living; many communities on our list offer independent living, memory care, respite care, and more.
  • Reviews: While researching communities in Omaha, we read through hundreds of reviews written by residents and their family members. The reviews give us key insights into the actual experiences of the people who live in and visit the communities.
  • Amenities: You may consider amenities an afterthought, but they can make or break the experience of assisted living. Having an on-site hair salon, for example, can make living in the community more convenient and comfortable, since you won’t have to worry about how you’ll manage personal grooming.
  • Location: Location is a big factor when choosing among assisted living communities. We focus our attention on communities that provide the best all-around services and experiences, but we also look for communities located throughout Omaha and, ideally, near local attractions, shopping, restaurants, and medical care.
  • Staff size: We highlight assisted living communities that offer high staff-to-resident ratios, often with a maximum of eight residents per caregiver.

How to Find the Right Assisted Living Community for You

We worked hard to find the best assisted living communities in Omaha, but that doesn’t mean you should just take our word for it! Every senior has unique needs and preferences, and there are a few steps you can take to ensure that you find the right place for yourself or a loved one.

  • Identify your needs: Many communities offer unique services and therapeutic amenities, so it’s important to consider what you want and need from a community. If you have early signs of memory loss, for example, you’ll want to consider an assisted living community that has an on-site memory care unit.
  • Review your budget: Even if you only require short-term care at an assisted living facility, you’ll need to go over your budget in advance. Remember that Medicare doesn’t cover assisted living in most cases, so many seniors depend on Social Security benefits, retirement savings, and long-term care insurance to cover the costs.
  • Read reviews: Choosing an assisted living is a major decision and one that you shouldn’t take lightly. Do thorough research and read the reviews (good and bad) of communities in your area.
  • Visit communities: The best way to figure out if an assisted living community is right for you is to schedule a visit. You can see the grounds, meet the staff, and talk to residents to see if it’s a good fit.
  • Check licensing and certifications: While researching a community, check that it has up-to-date licensing and certifications to operate in Nebraska.
  • Trust your gut: It’s not easy to pick from a few different assisted living communities that you like. If you find yourself stuck between a few great options, don’t be afraid to go with your gut!

What Is Living in Omaha Like for Seniors?

Omaha is a popular retirement destination, in part because of the high number of quality retirement communities in the area. Still, that doesn’t guarantee the city is right for everyone. Here’s a quick look at some important aspects of living in Omaha to help you decide if living in the city makes sense for you.

  • Climate: Omaha has a humid continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters. Summer temperatures are more comfortable than in many other parts of the country, but Omaha frequently sees winter temperatures drop well below zero.
  • Health care: Omaha has dozens of quality clinics and hospitals, including the Nebraska Medical Center, which has garnered national recognition for excellence in health care.
  • Cost of living: The cost of living in Omaha is lower than the national average, and housing is particularly affordable in Omaha compared to other large cities throughout the country.
  • Walkability: Omaha is a relatively walkable city, particularly if you want to enjoy the shopping, restaurants, and entertainment of the downtown area. When you want to get away from the city center, you can take advantage of Omaha’s dozens of public bus routes.
  • Activities: Omaha has a lot for older adults to enjoy, including professional sports, parks, lakes, and museums. Since Omaha is situated on the border with Iowa, it also gives residents faster access to out-of-state attractions in cities like Des Moines and Cedar Rapids.
  • Safety: Omaha is generally considered safe for people of all ages. Compared to other cities in the region, Omaha has a very low crime rate and few issues with drugs or violence.
  • Tax structure: Compared to other states, Nebraska falls somewhere in the middle when it comes to sales and income tax. Omaha (and much of Nebraska) has relatively high property taxes though. It’s also important to consider that Nebraska is one of the few states with an inheritance tax, which could impact your estate planning.3

How Much Does Assisted Living Cost in Omaha, Nebraska?

According to Genworth, the estimated median cost of an assisted living community in Omaha is $5,083 per month as of 2024. That’s a bit higher than the national median of $4,917.4

Fortunately, many of the best assisted living communities in Omaha offer accommodations and care plans that fall below the median — sometimes substantially so. Just remember that the type of care you require may impact costs. Memory care, for example, tends to be far more expensive than standard assisted living care. That said, you can often find communities that offer customizable plans and affordable starting rates.
