October was a busy month for AmanaCare Omaha! Our team spent time strengthening healthcare partnerships, connecting with veterans, and bringing a little Halloween fun to local residents.
These activities help us introduce families and community partners to the different ways AmanaCare can provide support at home.
Leadership That Stays Connected
Tim Martens, AmanaCare’s Chief Growth Officer, traveled across Nebraska to visit AmanaCare locations and discuss goals with team members.
Along the way, Tim met new employees, caught up with current leaders, and experienced nearly every corner of the state. He even had the chance to ride in a self-driving car!
We appreciate leaders who make personal connections a priority. Staying involved with our teams helps strengthen communication and keeps everyone focused on the people we serve.
Strengthening Healthcare Partnerships
Jeff Nogg, Omaha Director of Operations, joined Ta’Lynn from Endless Journey Hospice for a day of outreach to area hospitals.
Together, they visited CHI Immanuel, Methodist Health, Select Specialty Hospital, and CHI Bergan Mercy to introduce AmanaCare’s services and connect with healthcare professionals.
Home care and hospice organizations provide different kinds of support, and understanding one another’s services can help families become aware of the resources available to them.
We value partnerships that make it easier for individuals and families to navigate their care options.
Connecting with Nebraska Veterans
Jeff also joined Heather Schanou, AmanaCare’s Director of Marketing, at a Veterans Information Meeting in Bellevue.
They enjoyed conversations with veterans and their spouses, answered questions about AmanaCare, and connected with the VA Community Care team.
One particularly meaningful moment came when a service coordinator from the Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging shared her experience referring individuals to AmanaCare:
“I’ve never had an issue when referring someone to AmanaCare.”
Hearing positive feedback from community partners reminds us how important dependable service and strong relationships are.
The VA Community Care representatives also confirmed AmanaCare’s authorized provider status and planned to share information about our services with their colleagues.
Halloween Fun at Astoria Senior Living
Jeff and Ta’Lynn also brought Halloween cheer to residents at Astoria Senior Living.
It’s another example of how our community partnerships extend beyond professional introductions. We enjoy opportunities to spend time with residents, share a little joy, and strengthen relationships.
Service Spotlight: Flexible Care with Private Pay Home Care
Not every family needs or wants to arrange home care through Medicaid or the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
For individuals and families who prefer to pay directly for services, AmanaCare offers Private Pay Home Care.
This option allows families to arrange personalized, nonmedical in-home care based on their needs, preferences, and schedules without relying on Medicaid or VA funding.
Private pay services can help individuals who need assistance with everyday activities, companionship, or additional support to remain comfortable and independent at home.
Because every situation is different, our team works with families to understand their needs and explain available care options.
Private Pay Home Care offers flexibility for families who want to arrange support on their own terms. Check out our private pay services and the flexible options we offer here: careplans.amana-care.com
Helping Families Discover Their Options
Our hospital visits, veteran outreach, and community partnerships all serve a larger purpose: helping more people understand that home care isn’t a one-size-fits-all service.
Whether someone is exploring private pay, VA services, or another care option, AmanaCare Omaha is here to help families start the conversation and understand the next steps.
