“The people at Amada are the best!

“Amada and everyone on their team have been a blessing to our family in our time of need. Several members of my family needed care and Amada was there to provide the care for us. We learned about Amada from Holly. Laura was instrumental in navigating the long term care insurance and our many questions. My brother and I received care from Jordan and my mother from Philomene. Jordan was fantastic helping me with laundry, meals, cleaning up, playing games, and giving my brother showers. He was prompt, reliable, kind, gentle spirited, and willing to attend to our needs. We recommend Jordan and his caregiving highly. Philomene gave my mom compassonate and competent care. She daily gave her support and shared her loving spirit as she gave my mom showers, helped her get dressed, cleaned up, prepped meals, and supervised exercises. We recommend Philomene highly. Our family is grateful to Amada and staff for always being there to offer expert assistance and caregiving in our time of crises.”
