Independent Living in Nebraska
Although Nebraska is not as popular for retirees as sunnier spots, the Cornhusker State has a lot to offer its senior residents. The low crime rate is a plus for safety-conscious seniors, and although winters are cold, the rest of the year has plenty of sunshine. In addition, the cost of living is around 10% lower than the national average, allowing older adults to stretch their budget longer in retirement. There’s also plenty for seniors to do, including golf courses, a strong arts scene and events throughout the year. With more than 16% of Nebraska’s 1.9 million people aged 65 and above, it’s easy to find a friend to explore with.
Independent living offers housing in a community designed for older adults, usually aged 55 and over. These communities are designed for people who live independently, so they don’t provide medical care or personal assistance. However, most take care of outdoor chores and may also offer meals and housekeeping services, allowing seniors to spend more time enjoying their retirement.
In Nebraska, the average cost of independent living is $2,722 per month. This guide provides seniors with more information about the cost of independent living in the state, funding independent living and resources available for older adults in Nebraska.
The Cost of Independent Living in Nebraska
Note: Independent Living offers seniors an active, independent lifestyle in a residential setting among their peers. We established estimated costs of Independent Living because cost data from an authoritative source isn’t available. Independent Living usually costs 30-40% less than Assisted Living, so we used the Assisted Living prices found in the 2021 Genworth Financial Cost of Care Survey and deducted 35%.
Nebraska’s cost of Independent Living is $276 less than the national average of $2,925 a month. Seniors in the Cornhusker State also pay less for Independent Living than those in most surrounding states. Independent Living costs more in Kansas by $328, Iowa by $190 and Wyoming by $61. However, seniors pay approximately $471 less in South Dakota and $699 less in Missouri.
Cost data was only available for three cities in Nebraska. Of those, two have higher costs compared to the state and national averages and one is significantly lower. Nebraska’s capital Lincoln has the highest Independent Living cost at $3,065, and its most populous city, Omaha, has the second-highest cost at $3,024. Alternately, Grand Island’s average cost of Independent Living is $760 less than the state average and $1,036 lower than the national average.
The average cost of Adult Day Health Care in Nebraska is $807 less than Independent Living, but it doesn’t include housing. Assisted Living is 35% higher at $4,076 per month and includes personalized assistance with daily activities. Nursing Home Care is much higher, $7,483 for a semiprivate room or $8,289 for a private room, but offers round-the-clock care. Independent Living in Nebraska is about half the cost of receiving long-term care services at home. In-Home Care, also called Homemaker Services, averages $5,148 and Home Health Care costs an average of $5,339 per month.
Can You Use Medicare or Medicaid to Pay for Independent Living in Nebraska?
Unfortunately, you cannot use Medicaid and Medicare to help pay the monthly fee for residing in an Independent Living community. For seniors who need help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), there may be financial assistance programs available to help cover the cost of care in Independent Living. For more information about financial assistance for those who need a higher level of care, read our guide to Assisted Living in Nebraska.
Read on for more information about using alternative means to make Independent Living more affordable, such as retirement funds, the sale of a home, etc.
Paying for Independent Living in Nebraska
Although medical insurance doesn’t cover the cost of independent living, there are many ways to fund a move into an independent living community. As housing, transport and food are often included, many seniors find their regular retirement income covers some or all of the monthly costs of independent living. Many people choose an independent living community when downsizing and use the proceeds from the sale of their homes to fund their new lifestyle. Seniors may also wish to consider renting their property or using its equity by taking out a reverse mortgage. Our guide to independent living has more information about funding options.

We liked Maple Ridge very much. The overall experience was very positive. The senior living consultant, Ray, was wonderful with information and gracious hospitality. He answered all my million questions personally and took me on a tour of the common areas, and I was even able to see two-bedroom and one-bedroom units. The environment and the furnishings seemed very, very homey. They offer an amazing array of amenities. Also, one of the positive things that my husband and I liked was that the meal plan is included in the unit rental. Other amenities like their valet or concierge parking have no charge. You can rent a garage, but they will bring the car to the front door, and when you return they will take your car to the garage. That is so handy, especially in inclement weather.
The three meals a day are included in the rental plan, but there’s no charge if you want to eat in your apartment. They will bring the meal to you at no extra charge. I checked the dining area, but I did not have a chance to check the food itself. They serve buffet style, which is very nice, instead of having a plated dinner. My husband can’t walk through a buffet line, but they will have servers who can help bring his food to him at the table, so that’s very helpful. They had long hallways, but otherwise the facility, common areas, and the apartments were very lovely.

Connect55+ Omaha is an adult retirement apartment complex. They were very nice. We went and met a super nice lady there. She walked us around the community and showed us a nice apartment. It just didn’t have quite as many amenities as the other place did. It was also a little bit more expensive, although it was closer to where we live and it’s right across the street from a hospital, so that is a benefit to it. My father liked it because everything about it was nice. It was a nice community. He said he could live there.
There were individual apartments like a senior living dorm. They all had their doors decorated. There were communal areas on each floor and a dining room where they do coffee in the mornings. They don’t offer food there, but they do get-togethers like potlucks and then sometimes they all take a bus to Red Lobster or wherever. They have one- and two-bedroom apartments. My father looked at a one-bedroom. The only thing was they didn’t come with a microwave or a washer and dryer. It didn’t come with utilities other than cable and internet. It did have balconies.
They did not have a pool. They had an exercise room and a library downstairs in the main communal area. They had a handful of books on each floor in the communal area there, which had tables and sofas, puzzles, and games. It was a little bit older though and the apartment didn’t have the same amenities as the other place, but it was nice, and the residents we saw there and chatted with, were really happy.

I really liked Fountain View Senior Living among the ones I’ve looked at, so I intend to live there. My impression of the staff is very good. I talk to the directors all the time, they stay in touch with you to see how you’re doing, and they all seem very nice. The 1-bedroom was very nice, but they had different sizes. I was able to reserve a large one, so I was very pleased, and it had a balcony. I’m looking forward to it. They had all kinds of stuff like exercise, hobbies and crafts, the basic things with most of these places. It’s not brand new or real fancy, but it’s very, very nice. They did not serve me food, which is unusual, because I’ve been to many places that serve lunch or dinner. I can have my apartment either independent or assisted, and I can eat in both dining rooms. It was pretty quiet the day that I was there, and I saw people around sitting in different areas.

Pacific Springs Village is beautiful. It’s a very high-end country club type of facility, which is not what we are looking for. The tour guide was just wonderful in explaining that Immanuel also offers two other tiers of service, and one would be like a middle price value, and then the third one is an even lower price value, and it also offered assisted living. I said to her it would be so helpful if the website indicated these various levels of care.
They have independent living and assisted living in two separate buildings. However, these two formerly separate buildings are now connected with what they call a hub, so it’s more a U-shape, and the common areas for both facilities are in that center section. The apartments were high end, had a good layout, and were first class. The staff was very personable, very informative, friendly, gracious, answered all my questions, and also offered other information about another tier of service that Immanuel provides. She was very helpful. The restaurants were lovely. They had three different restaurants that offer a variety of food.

Pacific Springs Village is beautiful. It’s a very high-end country club type of facility, which is not what we are looking for. The tour guide was just wonderful in explaining that Immanuel also offers two other tiers of service, and one would be like a middle price value, and then the third one is an even lower price value, and it also offered assisted living. I said to her it would be so helpful if the website indicated these various levels of care.
They have independent living and assisted living in two separate buildings. However, these two formerly separate buildings are now connected with what they call a hub, so it’s more a U-shape, and the common areas for both facilities are in that center section. The apartments were high end, had a good layout, and were first class. The staff was very personable, very informative, friendly, gracious, answered all my questions, and also offered other information about another tier of service that Immanuel provides. She was very helpful. The restaurants were lovely. They had three different restaurants that offer a variety of food.

My friend has been at New Cassel for two and a half months now. It is owned by Sisters of St. Francis and it is a non-profit place, so the facilities are absolutely beautiful. There is a chapel that looks like a cathedral. It is terrific. My friend gets three meals a day, plus cable TV, plus cleaning service and laundry service. There is a clinic right in the building. She had fallen a couple of times, and they took her down to the clinic and tested her out. They have a library, a store, a computer room, a crafts room, and a sewing room. They also have a pub with a pool table. Virtually, they have everything there except a swimming pool. And they have bus trips all over. They just went to Nebraska City a few days ago. They would go to Walmart and Target. It is very, very active. The people there are very alive. My friend loves it there. Everybody you talk to loves it there. The food is so good. She has three meals a day, and the food is so good that I would go with her and eat a couple of times a week.

I am going to be living at Bloomfield Forum. It’s lovely and the big factor is it’s in the city, so it’s close to everything. It’s very friendly and the right size, about a hundred people. You don’t have to pay for meals except if you eat them. Tracy, the person who assisted me, was wonderful and fabulous. The food is very good, but they’re just dinners. They have all kinds of game nights and bus trips. The people in the office were fabulous compared to other places. The minute a resident came into the office area and wanted anything, everyone stopped to help them, so they’re very oriented to the residents. Everybody was working together and the staff was very active with the residents. I’d recommend it to anyone.

I toured Lakeside Lofts which was located by the lakeside area and had all the health care around it. They had a buy-in so you had to have a large sum of money, it was like $289,000. The people were nice, but you had to go to a different building to do activities. And they didn’t have a community area like the one where I’m at, as far as just visiting and sitting down with people. You had to go to the other building to be able to do anything with the community. The facility was beautiful and nice but not what I was looking for. The staff that I talked to was very nice, and she told me about another place that was more like what I was looking for. She was a marketing staff and was very understanding. She called me back a week later to see if I had any other questions. They had a gym, a salon, they had different eating places that they call restaurants in different buildings. They also had a pool and all the stuff that I wanted, I just had to go to a different building to do it.

Heritage at Sterling Ridge was fine, but the apartments were smaller, and the ceilings were lower. They have a very impressive entrance, and they have a lot of things going for them. They have all kinds of things, i.e., an activity room, a salon, a library, and a movie room. They have transportation, they have activities, and they have people who come in, and sing and dance, which is great. Heritage at Sterling Ridge is fine for what it was. I didn’t have any problems with it, but it was not appealing. I have a friend who was perfectly happy there. The staff was good and friendly. The building is a five, but the individual apartments were small.
