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.

I am very pleased to relate my experience with AMADA Senior Care in assisting me in finding a really outstanding senior living retirement community. In late 2016, following foot surgery, it became clear to me that, due to my COPD disorder and my physical limitations from the sur-gery and pre-existing back problems, it was inadvisable me to continue to live in my three-story townhouse. I decided to look into senior living and retirement communities but had no idea where to begin. My son was friends with Nick Petiti, one of the owners of AMADA Senior Care, who, together with his wife, Rachel, and Tracy Denton, came to visit me to discuss avail-able senior living options.
Tracy Denton, an AMADA Senior Care associate, became my personal contact to explore the senior life-style options in the Birmingham area, and personally escorted me to several differ-ent and unique communities nearby and was able to point out and explain in great detail the ad-vantages and drawbacks of the several communities we visited and to also introduce me to the representatives of each of these facilities. She was of immense help in enabling me to narrow my search to three particular communities, and was greatly instrumental in helping me make my final determination.
Tracy arranged a lunch meeting with the residential community director and another repre-sentative at Somerby Senior Living Community in Hoover, at which meeting I made the deci-sion that Somerby was the right fit right for me. Tracy then helped me further in negotiating the arrangements for my decision to reside at Somerby, and I moved in in January, 2017. I am totally happy and excited about my choice and am truly grateful to AMADA Senior Care for all the helpful advice, hands-on assistance and personal commitment to my ability to make the appropriate and well-informed decision about my excellent living situation.
I am thoroughly pleased with the knowledge, assistance and professionalism of all the members of AMADA Senior Care, and I would (and have) recommend them to anyone looking for relia-ble and unbiased assistance in finding the ideal senior living community suited to their individ-ual preferences.

My 91 year old mother, who lives in an independent apartment at a local senior community, fell and broke her hip recently. Once she left rehab, she needed more help than respite care could provide. Since we had never, been through this before, you can imagine our range of emotions. After calling Nick and Rachel, we immediately felt the load had been lifted off our shoulders! They put us at ease and patiently answered our many questions. We then met with Nick and Tracey, the Senior Care consultant. What struck me straightaway was their utmost respect for my mother, genuine concern for her and her care, and knowledge. They even went the extra mile to have my mother's caregivers train with her physical therapist so they would understand her hip precautions! Nick also pointed out that my mother's long term health care policy would help with her costs and directed me to ask the right questions when I spoke with her provider. Rachel and her wonderful team handled the claims paperwork, which made the process so easy for us. After dealing with this long term care provider by myself for my father a few years ago, I cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate the help. Speaking of help, the caregivers Tracey paired with my mother are literally angels on earth! Their patience, understanding, attentiveness, and quality of care are truly exceptional!! Even when they had to miss a day (which was very rarely), the substitute caregivers were just as wonderful.Tracey alaways came to introduce them to my mother and made sure my mother was comfortable with them. Throughout this entire process, Tracey popped in occasionally to check in with my mother to see if everything was going to her liking. The communication network among the office staff and caregivers with my mother and me has been absolutely amazing! After nearly four months of their compassionate assistance, my mother is now once again living independently in her apartment. It is a bittersweet victory for her because although independence was always her goal, she misses the companionship of the dear caregivers who have become family! We also know they played a huge part in my mother becoming independent again. We can never thank them, the staff, Tracey, Rachel, and Nick for all they have done for us!!! They have been such a blessing and it is a great comfort knowing they are there for us whenever we need them. We, too, would highly recommend Amada Senior Care to everyone!!
I didn't know what to do until I called Amada Senior Care. My brother had moderate dementia and needed help with getting to and from doctor's appointments and general daily activities. Nick and Rachel helped us understand the services their team offers and other resources. We needed immediate help but were unsure about how to pay for it. Nick and Rachel walked us through the possibility of Veteran's benefits for home care. We were very pleased with their knowledge, patience and ability to match our brother with an excellent caregiver. We highly recommend them.
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. At Amada Senior Care Birmingham, we are dedicated to helping individuals eligible for VA Aid and Attendance benefits and other forms of financial support take full advantage of these resources.
