ACTIVE BODY & MIND

RELIGIOUS & SPIRITUAL ENGAGEMENT

As a faith-based company, we know the impact religious and spiritual activities can have on our mental wellness. We strive to keep you or your loved one engaged in their own religion however we can. Our caregivers can transport clients to and from church or assist them in finding online or in person services.

SAFETY FIRST- EVALUATING & MAINTAINING A SAFE HOME ENVIRONMENT

A safe, clean home is a happy home. We aim to help you or your loved one flourish at home.

Our Founder

Kathleen Horsley was raised in Columbus, Nebraska and grew up with her grandmother living with her. During this time, she saw firsthand the important role that caregivers played in providing in-home assistance to her grandmother and others in need. To her, caregivers were heroes.

 

This experience inspired Kathleen to pursue a career in the healthcare field, where she could dedicate her life to helping others. Kathi became a registered nurse (RN) from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 1993 and then obtained her Master’s in Healthcare Administration from Bellevue University in 2005. She has always been motivated by a desire to serve others and to lead a life that gives glory to Jesus Christ.

She is very fortunate to have four awesome humans call her Mom. One of her sons fell in love with the only foreigner at the bar one night and now lives across the big pond.

Flavia Previtali was born in Geneva, Switzerland, under extraordinary circumstances. Arriving prematurely at just 30 weeks and battling an unknown illness, doctors believed she wouldn’t survive more than two weeks. While her mother prepared for the worst, her father, driven by faith and determination, searched tirelessly for hope. His persistence led to her participation in an experimental treatment, ultimately saving her life. Flavia spent her first year in the hospital, defying all odds. Raised in Uruguay, she developed a deep love for horses and pursued a career in psychology, later becoming a certified horse therapist. She witnessed firsthand the healing power of equine therapy, incorporating it into her counseling practice. Passionate about closing social gaps, she founded multiple nonprofit organizations, including one dedicated to teenage mothers and another pioneering maternal healthcare services for low-income families.

Flavia’s dedication to serving vulnerable populations extended across the Americas. In the U.S., she volunteered in Texas, writing grants for Hispanic-serving nonprofits, providing horse therapy for veterans and children with disabilities, and working in family-centered healthcare programs. In 2023, she moved to Omaha, NE, to assist with refugee resettlement, ensuring the safety and well-being of unaccompanied minors. After spending years caring for her beloved father before his passing in 2024, Flavia found her way to AmanaCare, continuing his legacy of faith, service, and dignity. She is happily married with three grown children and carries forward the lessons of love and resilience instilled in her by her father.

As AmanaCare’s Bilingual Care Coordinator, Flavia plays a vital role in expanding our services to Nebraska’s Hispanic population. With her deep cultural understanding and extensive experience in community outreach, she is dedicated to educating families about available care options, building meaningful relationships, and connecting individuals to essential resources. Flavia is also instrumental in recruiting and hiring bilingual caregivers, ensuring that language is never a barrier to receiving compassionate, high-quality care.
