What to Consider About Assisted Living in Papillion

In Papillion, as well as in all of Nebraska, assisted living facilities are required to be licensed through the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. This department outlines rules facilities must follow related to staffing, scope of care and building requirements. It enforces these rules through a rigorous licensing process and by conducting regular inspections. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Papillion

 

  • Nebraska is one of the few states that tax Social Security benefits. Additionally, it doesn’t provide exemptions or deductions to reduce what seniors owe in taxes for other forms of retirement income. As a result, some seniors may have less money to put toward assisted living expenses in Papillion.
  • Papillion is home to several local clinics that provide primary health and mental health services, as well as CHI Health Midlands, which specializes in cancer and cardiovascular care. Local health care costs exceed the national norm by about 25% and there are about half the number of doctors per capita here than in a typical U.S. city, which may limit access to care for some individuals. However, many assisted living facilities have on-call physicians and even dedicated physicians’ offices, making it easy for residents to keep up with medical appointments.
  • The American Lung Association assigns Papillion a passing rating for annual particle pollution and a C for 24-hour particle pollution, indicating moderate air quality. While those who are sensitive to environmental pollutants may want to track high-particle days and stay inside when necessary, many assisted living facilities provide indoor activities to make it easy for residents to maintain an active lifestyle.
  • The overall cost of living in Papillion is a little higher than the Nebraska norm but in line with the national average, which may be a consideration for those moving to this city from other places in the state. On a cost of living index set to a national norm of 100, the city scores 99.4 versus Nebraska’s score of 87.8. Transportation, housing, utility and grocery costs are higher here than in other cities across the state, but seniors may save money on these expenses by opting for residential care.
  • Papillion is among the cooler places to live in Nebraska, with daytime temperatures ranging from the 30s in the winter months to the mid-80s in the summer. Outside of July, humidity levels are low, and annually, the city gets 32 inches of rain and 31 inches of snow. This may appeal to those who enjoy experiencing distinct seasons.
