In-Home Health Care Dallas, TX
Eric vanGoethem, owner of Amada Senior Care Dallas, has made it his mission to help seniors live safely and comfortably for as long as they can in the comfort of their own homes. Eric deeply empathizes with families who have experienced the vulnerability and uncertainty that comes seeing a loved one battle a disease. He watched his father quickly deteriorate from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease—a rare, degenerative, prion disease that attacks the brain and is always fatal. Says Eric, “I watched my mom become my dad’s caregiver and saw the toll that it took on her physically and emotionally while trying to still be the loving, supporting wife that she had been over nearly 40 years—it drained her for years to come. Had we known and understood the benefits of in-home caregivers at the time, I know we would have navigated that difficult time of transition more smoothly.”
Chief Operating Officer Sabrina vanGoethem’s own family experiences sparked her interest in making a difference in seniors’ lives through Amada Dallas. She is inspired by her mother, who has been working as a caregiver for years in San Antonio. Hearing her mother’s stories of feeling fulfilled by her work and witnessing her passion for being a caregiver, Sabrina developed her own enthusiasm for providing in-home senior care. Says Sabrina, “I just loved hearing her stories from her clients—they have experienced much change in their lives and it was fascinating to listen.”

Ms. Jerry "Suki" Washington is PHENOMENAL...LOVE HER!!! She is TOTALLY AWESOME AS A CAREGIVER OR HOME HEALTH AIDE. SHE CAN COOK, LIGHT DUTY CLEAN, ENCOURAGE PTS, RUN ERRANDS, DRIVE,JUST A BEAUTIFUL PERSON.
Empathetic. Responsive. Knowledgeable. From the first time I met with Amada about my mother’s Long Term Care Insurance policy years ago and throughout the course of my mother's changing health, Amada has been quick to respond and attentive to the needs of both my mother and myself. Things are going as well as they can, which helps me be at ease knowing my mother is well taken care of
Since COVID-19, Amada has been a lifesaver for my mother. She started staying in bed more because of “stay at home” requirements at her independent living community. Due to inactivity and not talking her medications properly, her health and strength suffered. Now, an Amada caregiver visits daily to check in on her and see that she is taking her medication – and also giving her a reason to get out of bed.
Her improvement has been dramatic! Our family had been putting off the oral surgery she needed because I wouldn’t be allowed to be with her in her room after the procedure. But we could put it off no longer and Amada came to the rescue again. Post-surgery, one of her trusted Amada caregivers was able to care for her while I got her prescriptions filled and the items her doctor said she needed. Julia, her caregiver, stayed with her for four hours, making sure she wasn’t going to fall and that she understood the doctor’s instructions. Our family couldn’t have gotten done this all without Amada. We feel blessed!
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 Dallas 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 Dallas has years of experience with senior care in Dallas, Highland Park, University Park, Preston Hollow, Lakewood, Oak Cliff, Lake Highlands, Mesquite, Garland, Irving and beyond. 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 Dallas 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.
