Amada Senior Care Bergen & Passaic Counties
Logan Outerbridge and Kevin Outerbridge, co-owners of Amada Senior Care of Bergen and Passaic Counties, have more than 35 years of healthcare experience in northern New Jersey. Says Kevin, “People are very protective of their loved ones. While it is certainly understandable to feel that way, it can make the process of choosing an in-home care company more stressful. To ease the stress, we explain exactly what we do that enables us to hire and retain the most skilled, reliable and compassionate caregivers. In addition, we address the financial aspect of in-home care. Specifically, how is this care going to be paid for?”
What Separates Amada from Every Other
Home Care Company?
At Amada Senior Care, we take a consultative approach. As experts in long-term care insurance claims, we assist our clients with the complexities of verifying benefits and submitting claims. We also can determine what benefits may be available through the Veterans Administration for those clients or their spouses who have served in the military. For Private Pay clients, we can enlist the help of a senior care financial adviser to recommend the best payment options for in-home care. If circumstances dictate that a senior housing community is a better alternative than in-home care, we are happy to recommend communities that we have pre-screened by way of an in-person visit.
Choosing the proper home care company for your loved one is something most people are not prepared for. Amada Senior Care of Bergen and Passaic Counties is here to show you the way. You want what’s best for your family …
“… and we understand family.”

Logan is recommended by doctors and facilities alike. I called him for insight at a trying stressful time and he was kind, caring, responsive, and thorough. He spoke to me and my family with patience and put industry language into laymen’s terms. He’s a great support in a tough time and I feel lucky that he was recommended to me.
It was a very difficult time for us. My sister lived in New Jersey, and I lived in California. After five trips to New Jersey, and working with Logan, we finally worked out a plan. We decided to sell my sister's house and find another spot for her to live. This would give us the funds to go forward.
Logan was there every step of the way with his smiling face and positive attitude. We rented a house close by, and made arrangements for a full-time caregiver. She was wonderful. She cooked her meals (a great cook), kept her clean and found her favorite TV programs and was good company.
After about six months, I realized I needed to move her to a full-time care facility. Once again, Logan was right there, as I had to handle the situation long distance. He gave me some ideas, and we narrowed it down to one that would be right for her. I flew out to New Jersey, interviewed them on Saturday, and had her moved by Tuesday. He was there all the way, even though he was losing us as clients, and passing us on to the right situation for my sister. She now has full-time help from caring people and has her own room and is much happier. She can stay there forever (if we have forever). I recommend Amada to anyone looking for the kind of help I was.
We had many questions about when and how to use our long term care insurance.
Logan came to our home & patiently explained the difference between when to ask for home care, assisted living or nursing home care. He went over costs with us and got on the phone with us to speak to our long term carrier. He is both patient & knowledgeable. We will certainly be calling him in the future & recommend him to others who are overwhelmed with this part of their lives.
Senior Housing Advising
When seniors or their loved ones begin to feel that they require more support than in-home care and assistance with basic ADLs, it may be time to consider transitioning to an assisted living community.
This is an emotional decision for everyone involved, and our goal at Amada Senior Care in Bergen & Passaic Counties is to guide families through the placement process with wisdom, empathy and competence.
For some seniors, an assisted living community, typically offering non-complex medical services, may be a good fit. Others may require a bit more support and may be better served in a nursing home or different type of care community.
The team at Amada Senior Care Bergen & Passaic Counties has years of experience with senior care in Bergen & Passaic Counties and surrounding cities and communities. As a result, we have deep knowledge of all local care communities and can make sure our clients find the ideal placement to suit their care needs, locations, lifestyles, and budgets.
We also rely on our extensive experience to help our clients make full use of all benefits available to them, including veterans’ benefits and Long-Term Care Insurance benefits. The costs of assisted living may intimidate many families, but we can help them make financial decisions with confidence. To further ease cost concerns, the Amada Bergen & Passaic Counties team is pleased to offer its placement services free of charge.
When in-home care is no longer ideal for our clients, we are honored to guide them through this next phase. Our specialty is referring seniors to the right community or placement for them, which may include:
- Assisted living communities
- Large and small communities
- Independent living communities
- Board and care homes
- Adult family homes
- Senior care homes
- Skilled nursing facilities
- Alzheimer/dementia communities
