Amada Helps Veterans Fund Care

https://amada.b-cdn.net/cedar-rapids-senior-care/wp-content/uploads/sites/398/2025/02/09fc71fa32881931e20a32523df7daaf.jpg

Non-medical caregiving for U.S. veterans includes a range of supportive services that enhance their daily lives and overall well-being. This can involve assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as meal preparation, housekeeping, transportation to appointments, and companionship to combat loneliness. Caregivers can also provide emotional support, help with managing schedules, and offer respite care for family members. Additionally, they may assist with errands, mobility support, and engaging veterans in social and recreational activities to promote a sense of community and purpose. These services ensure that veterans maintain their independence while receiving the care and attention they deserve.

As a former employee of the company, I can say that they do not value their hardworking and dedicated employees here. There is clear favoritism shown to those that call off, cost the company clients, and jeopardizes client’s safety and wellbeing consistently. But hey, if you wanna work somewhere that will never value anything you do of merit and goes out of their way to deny you growth opportunities let alone doesn’t provide breaks, meals, PTO or sick days; then by all means apply! Otherwise if you’re sane, steer clear.

I would like to give a shout out to Alsion. She handled a power outage like a pro while the electricity was off for a couple of hours. She got Mom by the fireplace and in layers. She then contacted my brother for the next step.

We appreciated the help both Laura and Rachel offered us. Laura connected us with our long term care insurance to help us get onboard. And Rachel connected us with good, caring home health aids! We appreciated the interest they took in Wilbur and his interests. Jovone played chess with Wilbur which he hasn’t played for many years. It sparked Wilbur’s interest but unfortunately this happened just prior to Wilbur’s hospitalization and move to rehab and then to nursing care! Some aids went beyond the call of duty and did extra cleaning! We appreciated each care giver who came to our home and patiently and compassionately cared for Wilbur! Keep up the good work! It means so much to us to experience the compassion of others as we age and need help, having lost the ability to do for ourselves what we were used to doing! Thank you, everyone! Wilbur & Helen Yoder

Amada has been a true blessing for our family. We used their services for about a year after my mother suffered her stroke, and from day one they stepped in with compassion, professionalism, and genuine care. We were worried about the level of support my mom would need, but Amada never hesitated, they rose to the occasion in every way. Throughout our time with them, my mom had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful caregivers. Ashley was one of her main caregivers, and she was truly exceptional. She supported my mother’s daily activities with patience, kindness, and consistency and she never once called in the entire year. The dedication she showed will always stay with us. We also had the honor of meeting other amazing caregivers who consistently went above and beyond: both Mary’s Kaej, Emmarie, Jordan, Kerri, Alyssa, and of course, Rachel. Each of them cared for my mother and father with such heart that it honestly felt like they were keeping them alive. Their kindness, support, and reliability gave our family peace during a very difficult time. We cannot thank the team at Amada enough. The gratitude we feel for the way you cared for both our mother and father is something we will carry with us forever. You made an unimaginable season of life easier, safer, and filled with warmth. We will always appreciate you.

Amada Senior Care has provide exceptional care for my husband. They have provided us care when other companies couldn’t meet the standards. We are proud of the care & compassion that Rachel has given while picking out perfect caregivers. Mary & Alyssa have continued to provide excellent care & maintained the care even after we moved from our home into independent care with the help from Holly. Thanks for all you do & continue to do.

Response was so quick, and care was found the next week. We had been struggling to find in home care, and had met with other in home nursing providers prior to Amada, no one compares in response and coverage (which is what the other providers did struggle with) We did not get much time due to circumstances, but Amada will be my first suggestion to anyone who asks.

While looking for a place for our mother to stay in this stage of her life, we toured Amada Senior care and I was pleased to see people playing bingo and just out walking around the staff knew the residence. names.

×

Great initial explanation of the services they are able to provide. The care providers have been exceptional. Follow up at all levels has been impressive.

I can’t begin to say enough positive things about the service and personal assistance that my uncle and I received from Holly at Amada since my uncle suffered a stroke in April. Holly went above and beyond to search out the “right fit” for my uncle and the rehab care that he needed for his recovery. Holly found us the right place for my uncle to transition to and continue to work on his recovery. She showed us kindness, compassion and a ton of patience as we worked through this transition process in a very short window of time and opportunity. Holly continues to visit and check on my uncle’s progress and changing needs to offer him the best possible service. I know that I could not have maneuvered through the selection and placement process without her excellent service. I will be forever grateful for the personal care and compassion we have received from Holly and Amara Senior Care. I give them 5+ stars! Thank you!

Following my knee surgery I was not anticipating any complications, however, Amada Senior Care was quick to staff when I needed extra help. Addy was always on time, very helpful with household chores and any assistance with daily ADL’s I needed. Her presence relieved my families’ concerns. Addy is a very responsible and nice. I really appreciated her services. Thank you Addy.

×

Addy did a great job providing care, tidying up and keeping my mom company after her surgery. Great attitude and extremely helpful.

Kayla has been an amazing support to one of our family members. She has consistently gone above and beyond to provide nurturing care and support. She practically feels like family.

×

Holly’s extensive knowledge of senior care in the area ensures that you’ll find the perfect community to spend the rest of your life in comfort and care

×

Extremely knowledgeable and genuinely caring. I work at a retirement community and we refer residents to Amada when they’re interested in a little extra help. We’ve only ever heard great feedback about their caregivers and services!

×

We have been extremely fortunate to become clients of Amada Senior Care. Initially, they helped us understand our long term care insurance policy. Then they assessed our needs carefully. And then they assigned us a caregiver who could help us with many of our daily tasks. Our caregiver is Kayla and she is a joy to work with. She has a great personality and a very positive attitude. Kayla is a hard worker, is very self directed, and has many skills. We greatly enjoy having her in our home as a friend and a caregiver. We truly believe Kayla is the best person to help us face our growing infirmities and daily needs. All of the Amada staff are great to work with and are genuinely concerned with our well-being. We give them the highest recommendation possible. Sincerely, Mark and Carol Martin

Thanks to Amada and the placement of Allison, I am able to get away for a few hours a couple days a week. She is the perfect match for Pete. They get along great.. Thanks again

The team over at Amada are second to none! They have provided numerous resources to the Senior Living industry with CEU classes, Senior Placement Services, and more! They do an excellent job at ensuring your loved one is well taken care of.

I’ve had the pleasure to work with Holly and Laura on a professional level. They are kind and compassionate towards residents, families, and the staff they are working with. They offer an array of services with Amada.

×

Amada provides exceptional care and I trust them when it comes to finding the perfect fit for members of my family. Holly is so wonderful to work with! I would be lost without her guidance!

×

Holly is top notch. She took care of everything in regards to getting our mom and dad into there new home. My parents were very skeptical and didn’t think they would like it. Holly told them to trust her. They love it. Thank you Holly. Much appreciated

×

I have personally work with Holly and Laura several times. They are both extremely knowledgeable. They are easy to work with and always respond in a timely manner. Amada also offers education to providers and ensures their patients receive all entitled benefits!

×

We were so impressed with Amada Senior Care and with our caretaker, Kayla. She was so friendly, attentive, and made my Mom feel comfortable. I had to go to the hospital for a test and was very nervous about leaving Mom, but she made things so easy for us to be gone. Kayla was extremely conscientious, and we look forward to having her come again!! Such a positive experience!! Thank you, Kayla, and Amada Senior Care. I highly recommend their service!! Janice and John

Highly recommend Amada Senior Care! They have shown a true commitment to the individuals they provide care for. Laura and Ben are always quick to answer questions and provide immediate assistance with concerns arise. They provide individualized care plans and are passionate about serving older adults to allow them to stay in their own homes.

×

Laura and Ben have gone above and beyond since I met them. I discovered Amada Senior through my caregivers group at Pathways. Laura came to my house and went through my home healthcare policy and handled all the communication with them. Ben and Laura then assigned Priscilla to work with my husband. He absolutely adores her. She comes twice a week to help with daily living skills. She is so gentle and accommodating. My dog Bailey also adores her😄. Priscilla provided over night respite when I attended my nephew’s football game in Texas. She was absolutely amazing and made my husband feel very comfortable while I was gone. I highly recommend Amada Senior Care and Priscilla for your respite needs

×

Laura and Ben have gone above and beyond since my first phone call with them. They listened carefully as I described my elderly parent’s needs then came up with a plan and the perfect caregiver. At every step they considered my concerns and implemented solutions. Having Laura help me with the logistics of long term health insurance has been a HUGE relief and effective help. Laura and Ben stay in close contact with me whenever I reach out and as a result my elderly parent is getting the care they need and I am able to be a daughter rather than a health care manger.

I have been my husband’s caregiver for over two years and am so happy we recently found Amada Senior Care to assist. Melina O. and Anne J. are both a joy to work with. Melina’s upbeat personality and ease of working with seniors is admirable. Anne’s smile and kind spirit convey she cares about her patient. We truly appreciate what they do for us. Judy Baker

×

Laura and Ben are incredible. Flexible, understanding, patient and professional. And then the caregiver herself, Akela, is AMAZING!! As a daughter who lives far away, I was nervous about someone caring for my father, and I didn’t know what to expect but then Akela. Knowledgeable, kind, funny, and most of all, she treated my father with respect and care. Shes been consistent, considerate and a great communicator from day one. I’d recommend Amada and Akela 100 times if I could. Thanks Laura and Ben!!!!

We hired Amanda Senior Care a few months ago to help with in-home care for my mother. We have been very happy with their services and the caregivers they have sent to help my mother. Her main caregiver is Kasedi and she has been great! Kasedi is very caring and compassionate and attentive to details and I have seen my mom’s mood improve since she has been coming to her home. My mom always looks forward Kasedi’s visits.

×

Amada is a great place that genuinely cares about the clients and caregivers. I highly recommend for anyone in search of reliable care.

×

The owners Ben and Laura truly care about their clients and workers. Amada is a welcoming, supportive environment and they offer great flexibility.

I can’t thank the caregiver at Amada Senior Care enough for all her compassion. She made my Dad’s final months so much easier. Above and beyond in all her wonderful care. If Mom needs care in the future, we know who to call. Thank you so much.

×

I needed a few days of help with some activities of daily living after surgery. Everyone I interacted with at Amada were polite and helpful. My two caregivers, Sam and Myka, were kind, helpful, and genuine. I definitely recommend considering Amada when you are looking for help!

Caregivers for my mom were great. She enjoyed spending time with all of them. She looked forward to the days that they were there.

Amada Senior Care works well with our residents we have at our community. They have came in to inform our residents of their services and what they are able to provide. They have been great to work with!
