When families in eastern Nebraska begin exploring home care, they’re often looking for something simple but meaningful: support that feels steady, familiar, and personal. At AmanaCare, that’s exactly what we strive to provide—whether care is happening in Omaha, Norfolk, or anywhere in eastern Nebraska.

A Story That Reflects What Home Care Can Be

Marie B. is an 82-year-old AmanaCare client living in Norfolk, Nebraska. While her care takes place outside the Omaha metro, her story reflects the kind of thoughtful, relationship-based care that families in Omaha can expect from AmanaCare.

Marie receives 20 hours of private pay home care each week, with reimbursement through her long-term care insurance. Her caregiver, Colton, visits every morning and evening, helping Marie start her day and wind down comfortably at night. These routine visits provide structure, safety, and companionship—without disrupting her independence.

Colton assists Marie with:

• Morning and evening routines
• Medication reminders
• Light household tasks like laundry and dishes
• Walks around the block to stay active

And just as importantly, he shares time with her—watching classic reruns of The Andy Griffith Show and The Beverly Hillbillies, offering conversation, and providing reassurance that someone is there each day.

This balance of practical support and human connection is what home care is meant to be.

Serving Omaha — And All of Eastern Nebraska

While Marie lives in Norfolk, AmanaCare proudly serves the entire state of Nebraska, with a strong presence across eastern Nebraska, including Omaha and surrounding communities. Our caregivers and administrative teams work together to ensure families receive consistent, high-quality care—no matter the zip code.

Families in Omaha benefit from the same care philosophy:

• Flexible scheduling
• Familiar caregivers
• Local coordination
• Clear communication

Private Pay Home Care Designed Around You

Marie’s care is an example of how private pay home care can be customized to fit real life. At AmanaCare, private pay services are intentionally designed to be flexible—because not everyone needs (or wants) daily, full-time care.

We understand that:

• Needs change over time
• Schedules aren’t one-size-fits-all
• Families want options, not pressure

Our private pay care is organized into levels of care that align with both needs and hours. Some individuals benefit from peace-of-mind visits once or twice a week, ideal for those who are mostly independent but appreciate an extra set of eyes and hands. Others need routine care, such as 10–15 hours per week, to help stay on track with daily activities. And for those who need more consistency, schedules like Marie’s—20 hours per week—provide reliable structure and support.

Many families don’t realize that long-term care insurance often reimburses private pay home care, making flexible, personalized support more accessible than they expect.

A Team That Supports Omaha Families

Behind every successful care plan is a team working quietly but consistently to keep things running smoothly.

• April Finnell, our Scheduler for the Omaha area, ensures visits are covered and schedules stay aligned with families’ needs.
• BreeAnn Osborne, Care Coordinator, regularly checks in with clients and visits them to ensure care plans continue to reflect what’s working best.
• Amanda Fitzpatrick, a member of our Compliance Team who lives in Omaha, helps ensure caregivers clock in and out accurately—and also provides personal care services to some Omaha-area clients herself.

This layered support allows caregivers to focus on what matters most: caring for people.

Home Care That Feels Like It Belongs

Whether care is happening in Omaha, Norfolk, or anywhere in between, AmanaCare’s goal is the same—to provide trustworthy, compassionate, purpose-driven care that fits people’s lives.

Marie’s story reminds us that home care doesn’t have to be overwhelming or all-or-nothing. Sometimes, it’s about consistent routines, familiar faces, and knowing someone will show up—morning and night.

For families in Omaha exploring home care options, AmanaCare is here to talk through possibilities, answer questions, and help you find support that feels right for you.

No pressure. Just honest guidance, built around your needs.
