Question 7

What is LRI Personal Care in Nebraska?

Accepted Answer

LRI Personal Care (Legally Responsible Individual Personal Care) is a unique Nebraska program that allows a spouse or parent to become the paid caregiver for a loved one with a disability. Through the Nebraska AD Waiver program, eligible individuals can receive up to 40 hours per week of care from their legally responsible family member, including assistance with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, mobility support, and medication administration.

Question 8

What is the difference between home care and assisted living?

Accepted Answer

Home care allows you to receive personalized care in the comfort and familiarity of your own home, while assisted living requires relocating to a facility. Home care is often more affordable (especially when covered by Medicaid), provides one-on-one attention, maintains independence, and allows you to stay connected to your community. Golden Years Health provides in-home care services that can be a cost-effective alternative to assisted living for many families in Omaha and Nebraska.
