Reviews

I am writing this review as an applicant for a care giver position Barrington. When I arrived for an interview with Sana Suren it looked like the building used to be an old hotel. The ‘office’ had two desks and two people in it and nothing else. It was creepy. During the interview I was told that I had called her (Sana) boss. I looked at her and did not respond. She said it twice. NO, I did not call your boss. I called the number at the bottom of your e-mail thinking it was the office’s phone #. At the end of the interview, there was no real direction assuming they may or may not get back to me for an offer. Soon thereafter I started getting automated text messages about taking 14 online classes. So I started taking those classes which were unpaid. I am a very detailed person and wrote a lot of detailed notes. The classes took a very long time to finish. Then I received an e-mail from Sana Suren to go for finger printing which I did and paid for myself. I was told they would reimburse me which they never did. I had sent an e-mail to Sana Suren about getting reimbursed but never received a response. My e-mail was ignored. So I want to say at this point I never received a call or e-mail regarding an offer for the care giver position yet they are sending me for finger printing and to take the online classes. Then I get a text from Marisol to call her. Still not sure what her position is. As we spoke she asked me my availability. Since I had a part time job I gave her my available days and times. I realized this position is not set hours or days. You are basically on call. So I kept my part time job. As she spoke with me she asked me if I know how to cook and laughed. Wow. Almost a month later I get a text from Marisol about working a position for two days. Because I had worked that day I texted her the next day. Ok, now it was work for one day. I said sure but did not have any information regarding the address or client. She asked if I got the app. What app? Nobody told me about the app where you see all the necessary information about the client, address and work hours. She then asked me what my date of birth is, if I took the on-line classes and how much experience I have. WHAT?! Why are you asking these questions now, especially my DATE OF BIRTH?! As I was scheduled for one day for care giver, it was no more than two minutes later that I received a call from Marisol canceling it. I was stunned. She stated the daughter of the client canceled. How was it possible to schedule me and then cancel within two minutes. The daughter just happened to call at that immediate time within the two minute window to cancel? Then two weeks later I get another text message asking if I was available to go to a job within an hour and a half notice. I did not respond. I was done with this company. This whole process from the start of the interview was handled unprofessionally, very unorganized and they have a severe communication problem. And they never re-reimbursed me for the finger printing that I paid in full myself as they said they would. So that was dishonest. At the same time I received an offer from a different company. They sent an offer through e-mail with specifics. THIS is how it’s properly done. The experience with Amada Senior Care Barrington was terrible. I did my part with the classes and finger printing which I tremendously regret. They did not do their part as true professionals should.

A wonderful agency to work with as a caregiver. Enjoyed the clients always. I would recommend anyone to Amada Senior Care as one of the top agencies that cares. They are very professional and go out of their way to help in everyway possible for their clients as well as their employees.

We feel blessed that we found Amada Sr. Care. Above all, they have provided us with a caring, capable, and dependable caregiver, and secondly, relieved us of all the paperwork involved in dealing with our long term care insurance policy. We highly recommend their services and their excellent match-making.

We enthusiastically endorse Amanda Care ! Each of the home care team member that have assisted in the care of our Mom in her home have been exceptional; reliable, compassionate, detail oriented, and fun for our mom as a companion. We would not look anywhere else for this valuable assistance for our family .

Lupe was amazing, she is the gold standard. We could not have done better if she were family. She has nurses training. My mother loves her and is very comfortable and secure with her.

Dan and his Team took care of my wife with Alzheimer’s for 6 years. Thank you for getting me through a very difficult time!

Since 2018 Dan Clifford of Amada has provided my late husband and myself with outstanding caregivers and the communication with the office staff for any requests has been handled in an efficient and timely manner. He has helped make our declining health more manageable and given me more peace of mind.

Amada Care owner and employees could not have been more caring and helpful to my husband and I when he was in hospice care. I would highly recommend Amada Care to my friends and other family members. My husband got stuck in a Hoyer Lift and Dan came over personally and helped me figure things out. What a great guy.

Dan and his team are great to work with. His experience and overall manner are terrific benefits to families in very tough circumstances. Thanks Dan!!

The Amada team was very responsive and always provided great service! The care staff that worked with my father were kind, compassionate, and very patient with him.

This is an excellent & extremely professional senior care company.

Supportive, caring and trustworthy! Thank you!

Good

Within the span of just a few days, we needed to find an overnight companion for my elderly mother who was recovering from a surgical procedure. Dan Clifford covered everything we needed to know about contracting with Amada, and expedited the process. Angelica kept me informed about caregivers and their schedules. My mother appreciated both of her caregivers and felt comfortable having them in her home. We had a very good experience, and we would rely on Amada in the future, if the need arises.

Dan has been fantastic to work with, getting us a caregiver that fit Dad’s needs very quickly. Thank you Dan and Amada Care!

Great caring people. I highly recommend them. Sam is awesome and always goes above and beyond.

The administrators and workers were all compassionate, caring, and helpful. They went out of their way to help the whole family not just my mother. They worked seamlessly with hospice, insurance, and other agencies. They made a difficult time bearable.
