What to Consider About Assisted Living in Kearney

Kearney, a city of about 34,000 people in Buffalo County, Nebraska, boasts numerous museums, galleries, cultural attractions and shops and restaurants. Local seniors, who make up an estimated 13% of the population, can navigate the city, complete errands and attend medical appointments using RYDE Transit, the local on-demand transit service. The company operates 12-passenger buses, all of which are equipped with lifts to accommodate passengers with mobility aids.  

To accommodate seniors who need a little help getting around, Kearney has three assisted living facilities, all of which provide food, shelter and care at regular intervals for at least four individuals. They are governed by the Nebraska Division of Public Health.  

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Kearney

  • Kearney seniors pay state income tax on all their retirement income, including Social Security income and disbursements from public pensions. The state is also one of the few in the nation with an inheritance tax. This may be a consideration for some seniors, particularly those who are moving to Kearney from another state.  
  • The Kearney area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Kearney Regional Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness. 
  • Kearney's air quality rates are almost 20 points higher than the national average, so seniors with conditions like asthma and COPD can breathe easily here.
