Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging

What Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging does

Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging (ENOA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization designated as an Area Agency on Aging under the federal Older Americans Act, operating continuously since its 1974 founding. Headquartered in Omaha, ENOA serves older adults, family caregivers, and adults with disabilities across a fixed five-county service area covering Douglas, Sarpy, Dodge, Cass, and Washington counties. The organization operates as both a gateway to existing community aging services and a direct provider of programs that fill unmet local needs.

ENOA delivers a comprehensive continuum of care through core care programs (Care Management, Aged & Disabled Medicaid Waiver navigation, Caregiver Support, and the Aging & Disability Resource Center), in-home services (Personal Care, Homemaker Services, and a 24/7 Emergency Response System), and three nutrition channels: congregate Senior Centers, home-delivered Meals on Wheels (operating 45+ years), and the Diner's Choice retail program hosted at Hy-Vee stores. Additional lines include the New Horizons monthly newspaper (published since 1975, 8,000 circulation), the Intergeneration Orchestra of Omaha (since 1985), advocacy and Long-Term Care Ombudsman services, and structured referral resources for housing, legal aid, transportation, and scam prevention. Volunteer programs (Foster Grandparent, Senior Companion, SeniorHelp) and a 400+ volunteer corps delivering ~100,000 hours of in-kind service (~$4M annual value) are central to capacity.

ENOA's revenue architecture rests on three streams: government appropriations flowing from the Older Americans Act via the Nebraska State Unit on Aging and the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (including Medicaid Waiver funding); voluntary participant contributions on a sliding fee scale; and private philanthropy routed through the Aging with Spirit Foundation, including planned giving vehicles such as bequests, qualified charitable distributions, and beneficiary designations. A modest earned-revenue line comes from New Horizons advertising. Governance is provided by the Eastern Nebraska Human Services Agency (ENHSA) board of elected officials representing the five service counties, with no parent company, holding structure, or external equity.
