Home care encompasses a range of health and social services that are delivered at home to recovering, disabled, chronically or terminally ill persons in need of medical, nursing, social or therapeutic treatment and/or assistance with the essential activities of daily living. Home care allows an individual to maintain or regain independence through skilled nursing, aid and therapy services. Home health services provide an excellent, cost-effective way for a client to stay in their home as long as possible. Depending on the level of acuity and financial situation, people are able to stay in their home with assistance from home health agencies. Generally, home care is appropriate whenever a person prefers to stay at home, but needs ongoing care that cannot easily or effectively be provided solely by family and friends. More and more older people, electing to live independent, non-institutionalized lives, are receiving home care services as their physical capabilities diminish. Younger adults who are disabled or recuperating from acute illness are choosing home care whenever possible. Chronically ill infants and children are receiving sophisticated medical treatment in their loving and secure home environments. Adults and children diagnosed with terminal illness also are being cared for at home, receiving compassionate care and maintaining dignity at the end of life. As hospital stays decrease, increasing numbers of patients need highly skilled services when they return home. Other patients are able to avoid institutionalization altogether, receiving safe and effective care in the comfort of their own homes.

Take a chance to thank a caregiver! And to you, caregivers - thank you. You help in ways that often go unseen, and without your dedication so many individuals wouldn’t have the support, comfort, or independence they rely on every day. Your compassion, patience, and strength make an extraordinary difference. You bring dignity, safety, and warmth into the homes and lives of the people you care for.

This morning, Governor Pillen officially proclaimed November 2025 as National Care at Home Month. The Nebraska Home Care Association was represented alongside the Nebraska Hospice and Palliative Care Association. Lisa Russell, Chair of Community Engagement for the Nebraska Hospice and Palliative Care Association, spoke during the ceremony held in the Warner Chamber at the State Capitol. In her remarks, she highlighted the compassion and dedication of caregivers who provide exceptional care and meaningful connection while allowing patients to remain where they want to be – at home.

Day one recap!

During the annual business meeting, Reggie Ripple was presented with a plaque honoring his term and service as President. This was followed by the passing of the gavel from Reggie to the new President, Jan Bresnahan.

Our afternoon sessions were wrapped up with exhibitors and raffle basket drawings.
