From delivering meals and hosting seasonal activities to building new relationships in Lexington and Cozad, AmanaCare’s North Platte team has been busy throughout the region!
This month, we’re also highlighting something that can make a big difference for families exploring home care: free, no-obligation in-person consultations, with flexible scheduling whenever possible.
Making Fridays Meaningful with Meals on Wheels
Our North Platte team continues to deliver Meals on Wheels through the North Platte Senior Center and Community Action Partnership of Mid-Nebraska.
Each Friday, our team includes a small, customized AmanaCare gift with the meal deliveries. These thoughtful additions are often inspired by the season or designed to share information about services that may be helpful to recipients.
We love finding ways to add a personal touch to an already meaningful volunteer opportunity.
Showing Appreciation to Community Partners
Sara Yates, North Platte Director of Operations, and Joanna, Care Coordinator, recently visited the Area Agency on Aging and the VA to deliver goodies and express appreciation for the work these organizations do.
Community outreach isn’t simply about introducing AmanaCare’s services. It’s also about recognizing the people and organizations who dedicate their time to helping seniors, veterans, and families.
The visit even included a sweet surprise: a tiny Jesus figurine spotted at the VA, offering a little reminder of love and encouragement!
We’re grateful for opportunities to strengthen relationships and spread kindness along the way.
Crafting Connections with AmanaCare
Our monthly Crafting Connections with AmanaCare activities at the North Platte Housing Authority continued with a fall-themed project.
Participants decorated autumn wreaths that could brighten their own doors or be given as thoughtful gifts.
These gatherings provide opportunities for creativity, conversation, and meaningful social connections.
Expanding Relationships in Lexington and Cozad
The North Platte team also spent time connecting with organizations in Lexington and Cozad.
At the Lexington Generational Center, the team shared AmanaCare information and received a warm invitation to return and help deliver Meals on Wheels. They also visited the Lexington Housing Authority to introduce available services.
In Cozad, the team connected with Tammy, Director of the Cozad Generational Center, who invited AmanaCare to host an educational event about Medicaid waiver services and community resources.
That educational event is scheduled for December 10!
The team also visited a local senior living center, where they received another warm welcome.
We’re excited about these opportunities to help more families throughout the region learn about available care and support.
Over 100 Trick-or-Treaters at Our Halloween Open House!
AmanaCare North Platte teamed up with Legal Aid of Nebraska and Affiliates in Psychology to host Pumpkins, Sweets, and Halloween Treats at the Evans Building.
More than 100 trick-or-treaters stopped by, along with clients and caregivers, to enjoy candy, gift bags, dirty sodas, Halloween coloring pages, decorated pumpkins, and plenty of festive fun.
The event was a wonderful opportunity to connect with families and neighboring businesses while celebrating the season together.
We’re already looking forward to future opportunities to collaborate!
Service Spotlight: Free In-Person Consultations That Fit Your Schedule
We understand that exploring home care for yourself or someone you love can bring up a lot of questions.
What services are available? How does home care work? What if your family members want to participate in the conversation?
That’s why AmanaCare offers free, no-obligation in-person consultations to help individuals and families learn about their options.
These meetings are an opportunity to sit down, discuss care needs, ask questions, and better understand how AmanaCare may be able to help.
We also recognize that families have busy schedules. Some work during traditional office hours, while others need to coordinate with relatives who want to be part of important care decisions.
Whenever possible, our North Platte team works to accommodate those needs, including scheduling consultations outside regular business hours.
Sara Yates, Joanna, and Heather Schanou have all made time for after-hours consultations so families can participate, share their concerns, and feel heard.
Our philosophy is simple: These conversations should work around your family’s needs, not just our office schedule.
There’s no obligation to begin services. We’re happy to answer questions, explain options, and help families determine their next steps. Connect with our North Platte team about a free, no obligation in-home consultation: Home Care Services in North Platte, Nebraska | AmanaCare
Meaningful Care Begins with Understanding
Whether we’re volunteering, connecting with community organizations, or sitting down with a family to discuss home care, our focus remains the same: listening, understanding, and helping people find the support they need.
If you or someone you love is exploring home care, AmanaCare North Platte welcomes the opportunity to start a conversation.
