Amada Senior Care Geneva
Alie Johnson
Father-daughter team David Harmon and Alie Johnson, owners of Amada Senior Care of Geneva are dedicated to providing the best in quality in-home care for Geneva, Saint Charles, Naperville, Wheaton, Aurora, Batavia, Glen Ellyn and surrounding communities.
Says David, “We were moved to make a real difference in the lives of other families after my wife was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia and I had to navigate how best to take care of her. Some time ago, she and I invested in Long-Term Care insurance and agreed to do whatever it took to stay in our own home as we aged. In my experience, this is the hope of most aging Americans.”
Their eyes were opened wide to the very real need for compassionate, responsible senior care within the Fox Valley community after experiencing for themselves how challenging it is to find reliable care for a loved one.
“Our entire family was impacted as my stepmom’s dementia progressed,” says Alie. “While we grieved all of the changes in her personality and the deterioration of her independence, we were challenged to find reliable and caring support. To add to the stress of finding caregivers, we also had to navigate her Long-Term Care insurance benefits with a sincere desire to respect her wishes to stay in her own home.”

Alie -- This is clearly over and above service. I just want you to know that I do not take it for granted and I am humbled by your servant mindset. The world needs more people like you, and I'm honored to be among those whose life you have touched.
Amada Senior Care has a knowledgeable, professional and compassionate staff. Any families who are seeking quality care for their elderly family members need to know Amada is a gem -- seriously. I am so impressed!
As a caregiver, I feel like they treat you like family and respect your work. They make every effort to each team member succeed in her or his job, along with their studies and even personal goals.
There was a time when generations of families lived together, caring for one another through all of life’s stages. In today’s world, given the evolving pressures of earning a living and the hard working families we’ve all become, that kind of approach is generally not practical. As experts in senior care that’s exactly where we come in. Entrusting the physical, mental and emotional needs of a parent or grandparent to a stranger can feel like a big step, something we know all too well. Your parent or grandparent deserves to be cared for in the same way you would do it—with patience, dignity, enthusiasm, empathy and respect. Our senior caregivers go through a rigorous screening and training process. They are dedicated to their jobs, seeing their clients as extensions of their own families.
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 Geneva 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 Geneva has years of experience with senior care in Aurora, Batavia, Elburn, Eola, Geneva, Glen Ellyn, Mooseheart, Naperville, Saint Charles, Warrenville, Wasco, Wayne, Wheaton and Winfield. 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 Geneva 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:
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 Geneva, 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.
