At AmanaCare, we believe the best care happens when organizations work together — not in silos. That’s why we’re excited to highlight our partnership with Angels Care Home Health in Kearney, Nebraska.

When skilled medical home health and non-medical home care collaborate, families experience something powerful: stability, clarity, and support that truly wraps around the whole person.

Understanding the Difference — And the Synergy

One of the most common misconceptions in home care is that agencies compete for the same services. In reality, Medicare-certified home health and Medicaid/private-pay home care serve different — yet highly complementary — roles.

Angels Care Home Health

Angels Care is a Medicare-Certified Home Health agency providing skilled nursing, restorative therapy, medical social services, disease management programs, post-surgical care, and behavioral health nursing support

Under a physician’s direction, their experienced and licensed nurses deliver clinical care in the patient’s home. Their services are covered under Medicare when a patient qualifies for home health.

They admit patients 24/7 and provide increased visit frequency in the first two weeks — a critical window for healing and confidence rebuilding. Their disease management programs help patients manage conditions like:

• Diabetes
• COPD
• Heart failure & hypertension
• Alzheimer’s & dementia
• Parkinson’s
• Post-stroke care
• Behavioral health concerns
• Falls prevention
• Wound care

For over 25 years, Angels Care has served Kearney and surrounding communities with coordinated, physician-directed care focused on safety, dignity, and outcomes.

AmanaCare

AmanaCare provides non-medical home care, including:

• Assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs)
• Bathing and hygiene support
• Companionship
• Light housekeeping
• Meal preparation
• Respite for family caregivers
• Support for veterans
• Medicaid waiver services
• Private pay options

We accept Medicaid waiver services, private pay, long-term care insurance, and serve veterans — ensuring families have flexible options for consistent daily support.

While Angels Care provides clinical expertise and medical oversight, AmanaCare provides daily presence, stabilization, and caregiver relief.

Together, this creates a seamless continuum of care.

Why This Partnership Matters

Here’s what coordinated care looks like in real life:

• A skilled nurse monitors wound healing and adjusts treatment.
• An AmanaCare caregiver ensures the patient is clean, nourished, and safe daily.
• Angels Care educates the family on disease management.
• AmanaCare provides hands-on support between skilled visits.
• Communication flows between providers to reduce hospitalizations.

The result?

• Fewer emergency room visits
•  Improved medication compliance
• Reduced caregiver burnout
• Greater patient confidence
• Stronger outcomes

Healing happens best in familiar surroundings — and it happens even better when providers communicate and collaborate.

Disease Management + Daily Support = Better Outcomes

Angels Care’s Disease Management Programs focus on education, prevention, and long-term stability. Their Behavioral Health Program also supports patients coping with depression, anxiety, or dementia.

When that medical oversight is paired with consistent in-home presence from AmanaCare caregivers, subtle changes are noticed earlier. Small concerns are addressed before they become crises.

This is especially important for conditions like:

• Congestive heart failure
• COPD
• Diabetes
• Dementia
• Post-stroke recovery

Daily support protects the medical plan of care. Medical oversight strengthens daily care.

A Shared Mission

Both Angels Care Home Health and AmanaCare share a commitment to:

• Patient safety

We understand that families navigating chronic illness, recovery, or aging don’t just need services — they need partnership.
