Nebraska saw nine long-term care facility closures in 2022, second only to 13 in Texas. In the past three years, Nebraska has lost a combined 29 assisted living facilities and nursing homes. Inadequate funding for Medicaid patients, workforce issues and the rising costs of goods and services have all contributed to these closures. .
About 180,000 Nebraskans are caregivers for a family member. Nationally, family caregivers spend an average of more than $7000 a year on related expenses. A bill in the Nebraska Legislature would help offset some of those expenses. .
