At AmanaCare, we believe that care doesn’t just happen in the home — it happens in the community. One of the places where community is alive and well is the Northeast Senior Center in Lincoln, located in the heart of the Havelock neighborhood. This center is part of Aging Partners, and it serves as a hub where older adults gather to laugh, socialize, stay active, and stay connected.
This November, we are honored to serve as the monthly Bingo sponsor — providing more than just prizes, but presence, support, and meaningful interaction.
What Sponsoring Bingo Really Means
Each Wednesday at 10:00 a.m., seniors gather to play Bingo — a simple game that brings joy, purpose, and connection. As the November sponsor, AmanaCare is:
- Providing useful Bingo prizes (130 total for the month)
- Participating in the games, helping call numbers, and hand out prizes
- Bringing home care information, smiles, and conversation
- Sharing resources about services available to seniors and their families
But most importantly?
We are showing up — because presence is a form of care, too.
Who’s Representing AmanaCare This Month?
November 12: Kathleen Horsley (Founder) and Heather Schanou (Director of Marketing)
November 19: Mikah Christensen (Director of Care Coordination) and Nikky Pierce (Client Onboarding Specialist)
November 26: Mikah Christensen and BreeAnn Osborne (Care Coordinator for Eastern NE)
We love that this sponsorship allows seniors to see our faces, hear our voices, and experience our care style firsthand — sometimes before care is even needed.
A Chance to Support Seniors Where They Are
Many seniors who attend the Northeast Center live independently and want to remain in their homes as long as possible. That’s where we come in.
We provide home care Lincoln families trust — supporting independence, safety, and connection.
This includes:
- Help with meals
- Light housekeeping & laundry
- Companionship and conversation
- Medication reminders
- Transportation
- Support with bathing, grooming, and personal care

Helping Families Navigate the Medicaid Waiver & Caregiver Support
One of the most meaningful programs we assist families with is the Medicaid AD Waiver — including the Legally Responsible Individual (LRI) option.
Many caregivers ask:
“Can I get paid to care for a family member in Lincoln?”
Yes — in many situations, you can.
Parents caring for medically complex children and spouses caring for spouses may qualify to be paid caregivers through the Medicaid Waiver home care Lincoln program. Our team helps families:
- Understand eligibility
- Complete required training (including CPR/First Aid)
- Submit paperwork
- Get approved & start receiving support
We walk alongside families as they navigate systems — not just as providers, but as partners.
Why We Show Up in Places Like the Northeast Center
Because care is relational.
Because loneliness is real.
Because joy matters.
Because faith calls us to serve.
When we sit beside someone during Bingo, laugh together, call out numbers, or help someone choose a prize — those are moments that nurture the emotional and spiritual side of care.
And that’s part of our mission:
To honor the God-given dignity of those we serve and lead.
We’re Grateful to Be Here
To every senior at the Northeast Center — thank you for welcoming us.
To the Aging Partners team — thank you for the work you do to support aging with dignity.
To our caregivers, clients, and community — we see you, we value you, and we are here for you.
This November and always, we are grateful for the chance to be part of your community.
If you or someone you know is exploring home care options, or wondering, “Can I get paid to care for a family member in Lincoln?” — we would be honored to help.
