The Latest from Lincoln

For families asking, “Can I get paid to care for a family member in Lincoln?” the answer is yes—through Nebraska’s Legally Responsible Individual (LRI) Personal Care Program. And it’s not limited to Lincoln — AmanaCare is here to guide families through the LRI program anywhere in Nebraska! However, there are important requirements to meet before caregivers can begin providing services.

One of the most critical requirements is CPR and First Aid certification. The state of Nebraska mandates that all LRI caregivers complete an approved course that includes hands-on CPR skills training (online-only courses aren’t accepted). This ensures caregivers are fully prepared to respond to emergencies and provide safe, high-quality care for their loved ones.

AmanaCare recognizes that families want to begin caring for their loved ones as quickly and seamlessly as possible—and we’re here to make that happen. For those wondering, “Can I get paid to care for a family member in Lincoln?”, our team helps families across Nebraska navigate the LRI process from start to finish, including:

• Explaining the LRI eligibility and application process
• Connecting caregivers with certification resources
• Coordinating scheduling to minimize delays
• Supporting compliance to ensure Medicaid approvals move forward without issue

At the heart of this initiative is Erich, AmanaCare’s CFO, based in our Lincoln office. Erich has stepped up to lead the effort to certify LRI caregivers quickly and effectively, making the process as smooth as possible for families.

To reduce barriers and shorten wait times, Erich is:

• Personally certifying LRI caregivers in CPR and First Aid right from the Lincoln office
• Training several AmanaCare administrative employees across Nebraska to become certified instructors
• Ensuring AmanaCare has instructors statewide to train and certify caregivers locally

By decentralizing the certification process, families spend less time waiting and more time caring for their loved ones—and getting paid for the important work they’re already doing.

If you’ve been wondering, “Can I get paid to care for a family member in Lincoln?”, AmanaCare is here to make the process clear, compliant, and fast. With Erich leading this effort, we’re eliminating roadblocks, empowering families, and helping Nebraskans get the support they need when they need it most.
