Senior Home Care in Downingtown
Would you or a loved one benefit from in-home senior care?
Get a Free Care Needs ConsultationMost families in Downingtown don’t start looking for home care until something shifts. A few missed medications, more time spent alone, or a sudden change after a hospital stay, and it becomes clear Mom or Dad needs someone to come in a few hours a day.
That’s exactly the moment Amada Senior Care Chester County is here for. We provide non-medical, in-home senior care that helps older adults stay in the homes they love, with the kind of help that fits around real life. When you can’t always be there, our caregivers can.
Whether your parents need help getting up, washed, and dressed in the morning, or a steady presence throughout the day, we build the care around them instead of the other way around.
Everyday Help with Activities of Daily Living
Our home care aides handle the daily tasks that have gotten harder, so the day runs a little smoother and a lot safer. Help commonly includes:
Bathing
Dressing
Grooming and hygiene
Toileting
Walking and ambulation
Medication reminders
Meal preparation and feeding
Light housekeeping
Errands and shopping
Companionship
Care Plans Built Around One Person, Not a Template
What sets Amada Chester County apart is how personal we make the care. Any agency can send someone to cook and clean. We take the time to learn who your loved one really is, their routines, their preferences, the little things that still bring a real smile, and then we build the days around that. For one family that might mean baking cookies from Mom’s old recipe. For another, it’s digging out jazz records or setting up a weekly bridge game with longtime friends. When we can create moments like that, we know we’re doing this right.
Families tell us about their biggest frustration with other agencies was that revolving door of unfamiliar faces and rigid shift times. We work hard to give you consistency instead: the same trusted aide, matched to your loved one’s personality, showing up when you need them. Our caregivers are certified and bring an average of more than 15 years of experience, and we stay in close touch with the family, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Support for Dementia, Recovery, and More Complex Needs
We help with a wide range of situations Downingtown families face. Our care includes memory support for dementia and Alzheimer’s, fall prevention, stroke recovery, and support for chronic conditions like COPD and CHF. We also provide safe discharge to home after a hospital or rehab stay, help prevent hospital readmissions, and post-surgery or post-orthopedic recovery care at home. Depending on what’s needed, care can be hourly, around-the-clock, live-in, or short-term respite, so a family caregiver can finally rest.
That last part matters. Caring for a parent is exhausting, and there is nothing selfish about needing a break.
Co-owner Judy Basler puts it simply: “At Amada Chester County, we strive to provide the highest quality of care with a sense of warmth, kindness and compassion. Each member of our team is committed to your loved one because to us, they are family. We take pride in knowing that we have enriched the lives of our seniors and made a positive impact on each of the families we serve.”
Judy is a Certified Dementia Practitioner through the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners and a Geriatric Diabetes Certified Professional through NADONA, and she and co-owner Sheldon Feinberg lead the team with that same standard.
Long-Term Care Insurance: We Handle the Paperwork
A lot of families are surprised to learn their long-term care insurance policy can help pay for the very in-home care they need, and even more surprised by how confusing the claims process feels when you’re facing it alone. This is where Amada does something most agencies don’t do. We start with a free review of your policy, reading through the fine print with you, so you understand your elimination period, your maximum daily benefit, your lifetime benefits, and exactly what is and isn’t covered.
From there, our experienced advisors help complete and file the claim, then bill your insurance carrier directly on your behalf. You shouldn’t have to spend your evenings on hold or wrestling with claim forms while you’re also caring for a parent. We handle that coordination and provide concierge help activating your benefits, so your loved one reaches the full monthly benefit they’re entitled to. If a policy doesn’t cover everything, we’ll walk you through private-pay options clearly, with no pressure.
Our Commitment to Downingtown Families
What we do reaches further than the one senior we care for. It touches everyone who loves and worries about them. That’s why we bring families into the care plan, check in often, and adjust as needs change. Our Chester County team is proud to help older adults in and around Downingtown stay safe, comfortable, and genuinely engaged at home, whether that’s a quiet afternoon or a walk over to Kerr Park.
You have our word that we’ll treat your loved one with respect and dignity, show up dependably, and be a steady hand for your whole family. You don’t have to figure this out alone.

What Families Say About Us
Judy understood our needs and was very responsive and helpful when we were dealing with a very difficult situation. I truly appreciate her help and support.
We started with Amada Senior Care in September 2024 for my Mom. We were looking for a care giver to come home and care for my 91 year old mother while i was away for some urgent matter. I being the sole caregiver was very worried as my mother does not speak or understand much English so communication is difficult. I contacted Amada Senior Care and Judy responded and since then i feel like i met a kindred soul who understands how tough it is to leave a senior parent who does not understand or speak much and needs complete care. Judy found the perfect and most loving, caring and patient care giver one can find…..Marie! She took care of my Mom like i would with the utmost care, lots of love and patiently with compassion and kindness……right from waking up my Mom gently, bathing, cleaning and dressing her up and that includes putting on lotion, putting medication where needed, grooming my Mom and making her ready for the day. Then setting her up in her recliner and making the appropriate breakfast for Mom and feeding her alongwith her meds, cleaning her after eating. Marie would very lovingly talk to Mom and was gentle like a mother. Then Marie would take care of my Mom’s laundry….washing, drying and folding and putting away Mom’s clothes and bedding, making Mom’s bed and then making the appropriate lunch & dinner for Mom and feeding her. After dinner, Marie would take Mom to her bed from the family room and put her in bed, clean, change and then tuck Mom in bed like i would have. It was a relief to know that my Mom was taken care of like a family member while i was away. We had Marie for a while. Then we stopped. But whenever we have needed care for Mom, Judy has made sure that there would be the element of familiarity for my mother who knew Marie very well as a familiar face. My mom started recognising Marie and knew her name and would smile at her mention. Also when we would ask who cared for you Mom, my Mom would smile and answer Marie. We also had another caregiver…Kristin as a back up when Marie needed time off to take care of her stuff. Kristin was also good with mom….always talking and making a converstion even though Mom would not speak or understand. Kristin too was kind, loving and caring and patient with Mom. In March 2025, at 92 yrs, Mom had an aspiration which led her to be on the Ventilator for 3 days and there was a change in her diet and she was put on a pureed diet and could have only honey thick consistency liquids. We would always want Marie to be there for Mom as Mom knows Marie very well and now as she is like a child she needs that complete familiarity plus Marie knows everything about Mom and she does everything exactly as you want with the care and diet and follows the guidelines as per the care needed and specified by us and the doctors. So, when i had to be away again, i approached Amada Senior Care again and Judy came to the rescue by adjusting and scheduling Marie to care for my Mom. I was always comfortable and knew that even with the change in my Mom’s diet, Marie was the perfect choice to care for Mom. I explained Mom’s new schedule of diet and routine to Marie a day before i left and she did a wonderful job as always of being the perfect caregiver in my absence. She has taken care of Mom two times, for 15 days each time, after Mom’s diet restriction and there has not been a concern even once. So, i know that with Marie & Judy, my Mom was and will be well taken care of and smiling whenever we need them! A big thank you from our hearts!! Thank you to Judy & Marie from Amada Senior Care for your kindness, exceptional care, patience, love and for being there for Mom and us!! May God bless & keep you all safe!! We wish you all success, happiness, good health & prosperity!! We were lucky we found Amada Senior Care….Judy and Marie!! With Amada Senior Care Chester County, your loved one is in excellent hands!🌻🌹❤️🌹🌻

I highly recommend Amada Senior Care Chester County for any of the services offered. Both Sheldon and Judy are understanding, compassionate and very knowledgeable.
Judy and her team were excellent to work with when we needed home care for my father.

I have been using Amada Senior Care Chester County to provide 24 hour care for my 86 year old parents for the last 10 months. The care has been exceptional with consistency in provider and seamless transitions to new caregiver when respite is required. They have been a life saver!
We are very grateful to Judy for listening to our needs and finding the perfect fit for our situation. We thank our son for introducing us to their services.

We really appreciate the help our Grandmother received from Amada Chester County. The caregivers were excellent and truly caring. Judy was so helpful in walking us through each step of processing our long term care insurance claim. She made it simple.
I can’t thank you enough for all you did to help make my brother Jim’s life better by ensuring he had the very best care. You were invaluable to me from the very beginning when I first realized that after Jim’s stroke, I could not care for him on my own as I had thought I could. I would not place him into a nursing home! I spoke with several other agencies before I found you, but I was not comfortable with any of them. I didn’t realize that what I needed was live-in help. You recognized that, and that suggestion was so right for the circumstances. You understood what my needs were even when I couldn’t express them myself. Your experience showed in your thoughtful questions to find out what kind of care was needed and how we liked to live our lives. You empathized and understood when I was distressed, when I was depressed, or when I was concerned or unsure. Whatever I needed, you were there for me and my brother. You worked to identify what qualities and skills were necessary to meet our needs and fit in with our home. I was overjoyed when you told me you would have someone start right away. What a relief. I appreciated not having to worry about having coverage. You made sure that happened. There was never a gap in the coverage. You sought the right fit for my brother AND for me. You worked with me as we experienced various aides who were all excellent and skilled until we found the right one for us. Jackie was perfect and became a valued family member for us. She fit in perfectly and was the perfect balance of compassion and skilled care giving. And she could cook! I appreciated that if any issues arose, you were right on top of it. You made my brother’s life so much better, and for that I cannot thank you enough. You made my life so much easier and for that I also also cannot thank you enough. You even knew what I needed when Jim passed. The Spoonful of Love package was perfect and much needed and appreciated. I will not hesitate to request your services again in the future should I have the need.
They helped my wife a lot. Great attitude. Nothing was too much trouble. Kristen, the care giver, was always pleasant to be around.
Judy is compassionate and patient as she helps clients and their family navigate confusing healthcare systems. She offered a lot of helpful advice when transitioning my mom from hospitalization to home. She is responsive and available to questions. The staff at Amada were professional and caring. I felt my mom was safe at home and was being treated kindly by her live-in caretaker. I recommend Amada!
Amada Senior Care helped us on very short notice when we needed care for my father. The caregivers were all excellent and relieved some of the pressure from me. I appreciate the assistance they provided and their flexibility. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Judy and Sheldon

Judy, Sheldon and the entire Amada Senior Care team are all so warm, supportive and deeply caring. If you or a loved one needs extra help and/or compassionate care, look no further than Amada. I refer them to everyone I know!
Judy and Shelton made finding care for my aunt so easy and stress free. They really care about their clients. They worked with me thru all the aspects of identifying the degree of care needed, identifying caregivers and setting up schedules. They were always flexible, working around changes I made as needed. Even at the end, when it became apparent my aunt would need more round-the-clock, professional medical care, they still offered to help in locating the right facility for my aunt. I would contact them again, if the need arose and would heartily recommend Amada and Judy and Shelton to anyone looking for in-home caregivers.

It depends on how many hours of help your loved one needs and what kind of help it is. Home care is billed by the hour, so a few hours a week costs far less than around-the-clock care.
