Heather SchanouDirector of Marketing
Heather Schanou grew up in Atkinson, NE before earning her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Concordia University in Seward. While in Seward, she discovered her passion for marketing—creating designs and campaigns that truly resonate with people. Now residing in North Platte with her husband, Mark, and their fur-babies—Chachi (dog) and Chesney (cat)—Heather is an avid supporter of Nebraska sports, especially volleyball, a passion she shares with her sister and niece, and she proudly cheers on her brother’s basketball team at Norfolk Catholic.
In 2024, Heather’s mom needed home care, giving Heather a firsthand understanding of the impact an in-home caregiver can have. That experience deepened her faith in God’s plan and strengthened her commitment to serving others.
At AmanaCare, Heather is dedicated to bringing care and joy to the people of Nebraska through the Care360 Method, focusing on family, community, activity, safety, and spiritual engagement. She hopes that her work in partnerships helps families find the care and support they need while honoring the values of faith, service, and love that define her.

April FinnellScheduling Coordinator - Lincoln/Eastern NE
April Finnell was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and spent her school years in Hamburg, Iowa after her parents purchased her dad’s childhood dream home. After graduating, she made her way back to Omaha, where her roots—and heart—remain firmly planted.
April earned her Associate’s Degree in Accounting from Vatterott College and has spent the past seven years working in the healthcare industry. She brings a strong sense of organization, reliability, and people-focused care to her role, ensuring clients and caregivers feel supported every step of the way.
Family is incredibly important to April. She is a proud mom to Connor, Sayer, and Dayton, a grandmother to three grandchildren with another on the way, and a loving sister to her brother, Dallas. She also treasures her parents, Glenn and Melanie Finnell, whom she proudly credits as a constant source of support.
Outside of work, April enjoys dealing cards, attending car shows, listening to music (the louder, the better), relaxing by the firepit, discovering new coffee spots, and trying out every food truck she comes across. She genuinely loves the positive, trusting atmosphere at AmanaCare and values being part of a faith- and family-based team. And yes—April is a huge sneakerhead, with an impressive shoe collection to prove it.

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.
