About AmanaCare
The word Amana means “faithfulness, loyalty, constancy, devotion, integrity, trust.” It also means “support, confirmation; a guardian.” At AmanaCare, our goal is to confirm the inherent value of our clients and to support them through their unique circumstances.
By providing constant, reliable care tailored to each person, we seek to be the guardian that they and their loved ones can trust.
Every person is a unique gift from God, and therefore care is not one-size-fits-all. We craft our care plans to assist with your specific needs, the way you want them done. We set your care plan according to family needs and help you remain an active member of your family and community.

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.

Amanda FitzpatrickOmaha Care Coordinator
Amanda was born in Geneva, NE but grew up in Hastings. She went to Keiser University as a nursing student and completed her internship in Council Bluffs at a local Community Clinic.
She began her career as a Direct Support Professional working with individuals with intellectual disabilities. From there she became a Residential Manager for a home of individuals with intellectual disabilities. After the blessing of her fifth child she decided that being on call 24/7 was not ideal, and so she joined us at as a care coordinator at AmanaCare!
Her hobbies center around family time. She enjoys watching her children grow up and being able to put a smile on their faces. She appreciates seeing her older children grow into young adults playing sports and learning new things.
