It shows that at $3,240, assisted living rates in Norfolk are significantly lower than both the state ($3,844) and national ($4,000) averages. They’re also about $1,000 less than monthly rates&nbsp;in Omaha ($4,285) and $2,200 less than prices in Lincoln ($5,429). Rates in neighboring Des Moines, IA, and Kansas City, MO, are somewhat closer to those in Norfolk at $3,950 and $4,050, respectively. Note: Senior care cost data wasn’t available for Norfolk, so data for the closest city, Grand Island, was used.

Assisted Living Costs in Norfolk

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

The level of care required and where it’s received are two of the major&nbsp;influences on senior care costs in Norfolk. Nursing homes and assisted living facilities are both residential environments that typically provide room and board, but care in a nursing home costs roughly $2,500 more per month due to the availability of round-the-clock skilled services. In-home services, such as homemakers and home health aides, cost over $1,300 more per month than assisted living. The convenience and enjoyment of remaining at home may justify the extra expense, but seniors considering these options also need to take regular household operating costs, such as utilities, upkeep and food, into account.

Each state administers its own&nbsp;<a href="https://www.medicaid.gov/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.medicaid.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Medicaid</a> program to ensure basic health care services to the most vulnerable among the population: low-income families with children, pregnant women, disabled and blind adults and the elderly. These programs are made possible through regulation and joint funding from the federal government. The Nebraska state program is administered through the <a href="http://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/Medicaid-and-Long-Term-Care.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/Medicaid-and-Long-Term-Care.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">Division of Medicaid and Long-Term Care</a> of the Department of Health and Human Services. It provides a wide range of essential services including inpatient and outpatient hospital care, doctor and specialist visits, diagnostic services, mental health care, prescription drugs and nursing home care. To qualify for Medicaid coverage that includes long-term care, Norfolk residents must be U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents and: <ul>
<li>Be disabled, blind or aged 65 and older</li>
<li>Have a monthly income below $1,041 for single applicants and $1,409 if married and both spouses apply</li>
<li>Have no more than $4,000 in assets if single and $6,000 if married and applying jointly</li>
<li>Be assessed as needing a nursing-facility level of care</li>
</ul> Income from all sources counts, but some assets are excluded, such as a primary residence, household furnishings, personal belongings, one vehicle and a burial trust. Married couples are given some leeway with the above limits if only one spouse applies: <ul>
<li>A non-applicant spouse’s monthly income is disregarded</li>
<li>An applicant can transfer up to $3,160.50 of income per month to their spouse as a maintenance needs allowance</li>
<li>A non-applicant spouse can keep up to $126,420 in joint assets as a resource allowance</li>
</ul> Those who need assistance with long-term care expenses but have income above the limit may also qualify through a <a href="http://dhhs.ne.gov/Documents/477-000-045.pdf" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://dhhs.ne.gov/Documents/477-000-045.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer">share of cost</a>. This requires an applicant to pay for their care down to the allowed income limit, which is currently $392 per month. Seniors can <a href="https://dhhs-access-neb-menu.ne.gov/start/?tl=en" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://dhhs-access-neb-menu.ne.gov/start/?tl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer">apply for Medicaid</a> coverage online, by visiting the local DHHS office at 209 N. 5th St. or by calling (402) 370-3120.
