My relationship with Amada began years ago when I was looking for care for an elderly aunt with chronic health challenges. My relationship however really blossomed when looking for care for my husband who was suffering from advanced dementia, eventually had a catheter, and I found myself in a position of no longer being able to leave our home to address my health care needs as well as keeping our household running with shopping for groceries and supplies. I first contacted Greg, the owner, to ask him to meet with me to set up a time to review our long term care policy through Thrivent and review services. Greg set up a time to meet with myself along with Jess who is the client coordinator for my area. During the meeting Greg and I phoned Thrivent and learned everything I needed to know about our long term care policy. I can't stress enough how he knew each and every question to ask which would not have occurred to me. Amada staff were essential to work with when I opened a claim with Thrivent. I learned things about the policy I didn't even know about. Dear Jes was such a gift to work with in coming out to our home, meeting my dear husband, and answering all questions I had about the services Amada could provide. When you are looking for care I found I had so many worries on my mind that Jess went through each of them and answered them. Kay, the director of nursing connected with me to review medications and she had the wisdom to suggest I circle back to providers for clarity on some of the recent changes happening. Joyce from the billing department was so helpful in regards to billing and answering questions about communicating with Thrivent. When it came to actually scheduling services Amanda and her team of Candace and others could not have been more kind, compassionate, and understanding when services needed to be added, changed, and navigated! I was able to look at my calendar a month out and schedule a team of three caregivers to care for my husband when I was not home. A testament to the quality of caregivers and their interview process that Amada takes to hire only top notch staff was seen with each provider that came into our home. Suda was a kind and compassionate caregiver who so gently addressed my husband's needs and taught me near the close of his life how to safely position and move him in bed. Lucrisha was a vibrant and energetic caring caregiver who at one time cleaned my refrigerator and I could not have been happier as when you are in the thick of caregiving for a spouse your housekeeping standards fall to the side! Lucrisha also was able to set limits with my husband when he asked her for unrealistic things (taking down an outdoor umbrella!!) that I would have never asked of a caregiver! Cheryl arrived to our home the last week of my husband's life and she brought years of experience in providing care for people living in nursing homes. She taught me some of the most essential skills I needed for the last weeks of his life. With each new caregiver to our home came Jess to orient them! This came in particularly useful when I arrived home with my husband I I could not walk him into our home without the assistance of all three of us. During the last weeks of my husband's life I stayed at home and had these kind and compassionate caregivers at my side. I can't stress how this was so essential to me as our adult children lived out of state and I had caregivers at my side during the same time period I engaged hospice services. Looking back it is clear to me that I waited way to long to engage Amada Senior Care into our home to support my husband and I. The burden of caregiving would have decreased if I had reached out earlier. I regret not engaging services months prior to his death. Amada Senior Care allows family to leave their home and know that their loved ones are cared for in the same, if not better ways, than you could provide yourself. Never will I regret this decision to engage Amada Senior Care! They made living and caring for my husband so much easier! If you are looking for care for a loved one and hesistated as I did please know that calling Amada will be one of the best decisions you will make in the life of your loved one. Carrie

I contacted this location to check out pricing and was quoted $30 per hour. They set up a meeting…read morewith my mother and I. At that time they went through and collected all the information about my mother and her needs. My mother suffers from dementia and I needed to find help. I was in a panic on how to help her stay living where she was. We talked about the needs for consistent people, care, hours and a routine assessment that's what's important for people suffering from dementia. She was supposed to bring me a contract and didn't. They said nothing additional about any charges. Since this was my first experience with this situation, I was relying on the details to be discussed by them. My daughter and I were both understanding the charge for her care would be $30 per hour. The first weekend they sent a very young girl to care for my mother. I met her there and she had no idea of the care plan they told me they provide to the care givers. I spent quite a bit of time going over everything. The girl smelled very strongly of smoke, which was not good for my mom. She was not the right person for my mother. She was calling me with questions about how to care for my mother. The next weekend they sent a different person again. I was called at least 8 times during her care to answer questions. They did send a contract by email to me which I couldn't read. The pages weren't full pages, and I didn't spend a ton of time trying to piece together an unreadable email. I did sign it though. From that signature, they stated I agreed to pay all these additional charges for my mothers care. 4 nine hour shifts were over $1300. When you have an informational meeting, charges need to be discussed. You should have a hard copy right in front of you to go over all the unexpected charges. At that time you would find out that the amount they quoted was just a starting figure, which they never stated. I would be very careful of this company. When you are caring for an elderly mother its a very stressful time. I was taking care of her for over 5 years be myself. Just make sure you ask the questions they do not tell you. Apparently, they do not find it necessary to provide you with any information unless you ask.
