What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fremont

Fremont, Nebraska is located along the banks of the Platte River and is known for being a family-oriented city with a small-town feel. 17.3 percent of the population is over the age of 65. The Fremont area is home to 11 assisted living facilities. Four are located in Fremont, and the remaining seven are in the nearby areas of Wahoo, Omaha, Bennington and Elkhorn. Assisted living in Nebraska is regulated closely by the Nebraska Division of Public Health, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Licensure and Regulation.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fremont

  • The Fremont area is home to world-class medical facilities, including the Fremont Health Medical Center, in case of medical emergencies or illness.

  • Fremont has very cold winters which may be uncomfortable for seniors who are sensitive to chilly weather. The average low temperature in January is only 13 degrees. 

  • Public transportation options in Fremont are unavailable, meaning seniors may need to rely on family members or transportation services provided by their assisted living facility.

  • The overall cost of living in Fremont is 11.4 percent below the U.S. national average, meaning seniors will have more available funds to pay for the cost of assisted living.

  • Nebraska is not tax-friendly for retirees. Retirement income and social security checks are taxed at the same rate as employment income. This means that seniors may have less expendable income that can be used to pay for assisted living costs.

  • Crime rates in Fremont are fairly low. Residents have only a 1 in 44 chance of becoming a victim of property crime and a 1 in 465 chance of becoming the victim of a violent crime. While the property crime rate is on par with the state average, the violent crime rate is considerably lower than the 1 in 344 state average.
