Amada Senior Care Birmingham
Nick and Rachel Petitti, owners of Amada Senior Care Birmingham, believe that our elders deserve our respect, gratitude and the highest level of care available. This is what the Amada Senior Care Birmingham team provides to its clients in Birmingham, Hoover, Mountain Brook, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Alabaster, Pelham, Center Point, Irondale, Leeds, and surrounding communities.
Meal preparation and light housekeeping rank as essential activities of daily living (ADLs), but Amada Senior Care Birmingham’s home-care aides and caregivers are ready and able to do so much more as part of their duties for our clients seeking in-home care. Nick and Rachel and the rest of the Amada Birmingham team believe that to provide the quality of care senior clients deserve, they must earn their trust and get to know them on a more personal level. Once we’ve established open communication with senior clients and their families, we quickly create a personalized care plan with the goal of enriching each of our client’s lives — and in the most meaningful ways.
For example, instead of simply fixing lunch for a client, our in-home senior care aide takes the time to make the client’s favorite sandwich just the way he or she likes it. Or if a senior client’s flower garden looks neglected, our caregiver asks to help by going outside with the client to help him or her pull weeds and trim hedges. Personal touches like these show our clients how much we value them and want to make their days enjoyable.
At Amada Birmingham, our services are not limited to in-home senior care. We also help families find the ideal assisted living environment for their specific needs, introduce clients to resources that may make it easier to pay for care, and help them make the best use of their long-term care insurance benefits.
Says Nick, “We do this and more because we believe that senior care should be a family effort, and each of our clients is an important member of the Amada Birmingham family.

Our caregivers from Amada have been a tremendous blessing during the Covid lockdown as well as now with our mom having moved to a nursing home. The caregivers have been our eyes and ears so we really know what’s going on. They have taken our place in caring for her, making an impossible situation into an acceptable one. Thank you, Amada Senior Care!
With caregiver Renita, I feel safe and comfortable knowing I am in great hands. She is an angel on earth due to how happy she is all the time and I am thankful for the time I have with her. She even rescinded her time off request to help me when others couldn't because of strict Covid protocols. I am beyond grateful!
I wanted to let you know of the superior care your folks provided for my mother and the above and beyond efforts Tracy provided to get all the logistics worked out and have first shift of care giving start within 48 hours of the first phone call that Friday evening. All of these effort provided my mother with the comfort she needed in her last few days. Please convey my heartfelt thanks to all that helped in this process.
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 Birmingham 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 Birmingham has years of experience with senior care in Birmingham, Hoover, Mountain Brook, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Alabaster, Pelham, Center Point, Irondale, Leeds, and surrounding 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 Birmingham 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
Many of our veterans, their spouses, and their families may not be aware of their potential eligibility for financial assistance from the government.
