What is LRI Personal Care in Nebraska?
LRI Personal Care (Legally Responsible Individual Personal Care) is a service available through Nebraska's Aged and Disabled (AD) Waiver program. It allows a legally responsible individual, such as a spouse or parent of a minor child, to become the paid caregiver for their loved one with a disability. The individual receiving care must meet Nebraska's definition of Extraordinary Care. This program provides up to 40 hours per week of paid caregiving and covers services like bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, feeding, mobility support, medication administration, toileting, laundry, housekeeping, communication support, and transportation. Golden Years Health in Omaha helps families enroll in and navigate this program.
Home Care vs Assisted Living in Omaha
Home care allows seniors and adults with disabilities to receive personalized one-on-one care in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, while assisted living requires relocating to a facility. Home care through Golden Years Health is often more affordable — especially when covered by Nebraska Medicaid — maintains independence, and keeps individuals connected to their community. For many families in Omaha, in-home care is a preferred and cost-effective alternative to assisted living.
