Who pays, and how full it is

Many residents here pay privately or through insurance. In Nebraska, Medicaid pays for 50% of resident days at a typical home.

  • 41% Medicaid
  • 6% Medicare
  • 53% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average92%Nebraska typical: 72%
Cost of care per resident day$453Nebraska typical: $347

Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending June 2025. The cost per day is what care costs the home to provide, not the price you would pay; ask the home for its private-pay rate. A busy home may have fewer open beds, so ask about availability.
