Whether you’re located in Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island, or Bellevue, our network helps Nebraska families plan for safe and independent aging in place. From accessibility renovations to in-home care support in Kearney or Fremont, we connect you with professionals who serve communities across the state.
Nebraska offers affordable living and strong communities, but weather conditions and rural distance can pose challenges for seniors.
Key considerations include:
Harsh winters and icy conditions requiring home safety upgrades
Limited access to caregiving and health services in rural areas
Older homes needing accessibility modifications
Long travel distances to healthcare providers in some counties
Here are some of our most helpful checklists for those who want to age in place confidently:
Bathroom Safety Checklist
Make one of the most accident-prone areas of the home safer with grab bars, walk-in showers, and better lighting — especially important during Nebraska’s long, icy winters.
Fall Prevention Checklist
Spot and fix trip hazards in homes with stairs, uneven thresholds, or slick walkways that can become dangerous after snow and ice.
Emergency Preparedness Checklist
Plan ahead for power outages, blizzards, or severe storms — all common risks during Nebraska winters and spring storms.
Decluttering & Downsizing Checklist
Nebraska homes, particularly older properties, often have large basements and garages that can create clutter risks. This checklist helps make spaces safer without feeling overwhelming.
In-Home Care Checklist
Whether you live in Lincoln, Omaha, or a rural community, this guide helps you assess daily needs and plan ahead for hiring help at home when needed.
