How Medicaid & Waiver Programs Can Cover In-Home Care in Omaha

Caring for an aging loved one can be emotionally rewarding—but financially challenging. Fortunately, in Nebraska, there are Medicaid and waiver programs that can cover the cost of in-home care for seniors and individuals with disabilities. At Xtrakare, we specialize in helping families in Omaha understand and access these vital resources.

What Is the A&D Waiver?

In Nebraska, the Aged and Disabled Waiver (A&D Waiver) is part of the state’s Medicaid program. It allows eligible seniors and individuals with disabilities to receive care at home or in the community rather than in a nursing facility.

This means:

  • Your loved one can stay in their home

  • You can receive help with daily care needs

  • Medicaid covers many of the costs

What Services Are Covered?

If approved, the A&D Waiver may cover:

  • Personal care (bathing, dressing, hygiene)

  • Companion care (socialization, supervision)

  • Meal preparation

  • Housekeeping and laundry

  • Mobility and transportation

  • Medication reminders

Xtrakare is an approved provider, meaning we can work directly with families using Medicaid and waiver support.

Who Qualifies?

Eligibility is based on:

  • Age: Typically 65+ or individuals with a qualifying disability

  • Medical need: Must require a level of care similar to that provided in a nursing facility

  • Income and assets: Income limits apply, but some assets (like a home) may be exempt

Navigating these requirements can be confusing—that’s why we help families through the application process at no cost.

Real Story: Keeping Mom at Home

When the Rodriguez family learned their mother needed help with bathing, meals, and daily routines, they feared she’d have to leave her home. But after contacting Xtrakare, we helped them apply for the A&D Waiver—and within weeks, her care was covered. “Now Mom is safe, happy, and still in her home,” says her daughter Maria. “And we’re not drowning in bills.”
