Ed Duborg, owner of Amada Senior Care Lehigh Valley, understands that to provide the best quality of senior care it is necessary to support an entire family, not just a single client. He has seen firsthand the emotional and physical strain that often comes with taking care of an ill or elderly loved one, and realizes that the pace many families keep while trying to care for a senior is simply not sustainable.
As Ed recalls, “I remember my mother, who was already taking care of five kids, trying to care for my grandmother who was suffering from diabetes and rapidly declining health. It was a lot for her to take—so much so that it became a burden she could no longer bear all by herself. She needed help. We ended up moving my grandmother into an assisted living community when my mother was unable to handle her care.”
Now, Ed strives to alleviate similar challenges facing beloved seniors and their families residing in the Lehigh Valley area. Ed says, “At Amada, we see people like my mother every day. People who are working, people who have kids … and they barely have enough time to go see their parents, never mind provide them with the care they need. At Amada, we provide the non-medical, in-home care seniors like my grandmother needed to be able to continue living at home. We help with bathing, meal preparation, shopping, medication reminders, and more—all the little things that add up to the ability to enjoy a good quality of life.”
As we know through personal experience, having a beloved senior well-cared for not only affords their loved ones peace of mind, but also allows them to continue filling the family roles they have always held. This is why each of our home-care aides at Amada Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvannia is dedicated to caring for each client as though they were a member of their own family.
In addition to in-home care, the team at Amada Lehigh Valley can assist families with all of their senior care management needs. Whether we are guiding a senior through the search for the ideal assisted living environment, helping families find the best way to pay for care, or simply listening as our clients vent their frustrations, our clients always know they can count on their Amada family.

My sister, Sharon, and I have been very pleased with the services and personnel provided by Amada. Everyone has been very helpful and acvcommodating. We have seen Annette for several times now and are very happy with her. It is nice to have the same person for many days in a row. It makes things a lot easier for Sharon to become familiar with her aide.
"I am so comfortable to have Amada as my go-to caregiving agency. My clients have praised Ed and his team at Amada for how great they are in speaking with long-term care insurance companies like Genworth, Met Life, John Hancock, etc.
It takes a professional to guide the client through the process and the team at Amada Senior Care are absolutely the only company I have ever heard of to do this. This is what makes them an extremely special business, as well as human beings. Thank you for who you are!"

My Mom has been using Cheryl for over 1 1/2 years now and she is extremely professional and amazing caregiver, always attentive to my Mothers needs and her care. We are so happy to have found Cheryl at Amada. My Mom feels comfortable and secure in her company. When taking my Mom to appointments she is a extremely cautious and a careful driver. We highly recommend her. So glad to have found her at Amada. We can’t stress enough what an excellent caregiver she is.
Amada has provided my family with peace of mind. Living out of town it is often difficult to assess and care for my parents. Amada has provided professional and consistent care over the past year. But it is more than that. They truly have become a part of our family. Their personalized care and true concern for our family has been immeasurable. They have kept dignity, safety and quality of life at the forefront of the services they provide. From the simplest of gestures to the basic needs of my parents they always go above and beyond. For my parents Amada is a friendly face, help with daily tasks, socialization and a bright spot in their day. They have truly provided our family with peace of mind and we are so thankful they are a part of our lives.

It has been such a relief knowing Amada Lehigh Valley has been caring for my 80 year old parents and in particular, Cheryl. We have utilized Amada services for a year now for our parents in an assisted and nursing facility as a supplementary service. Their caregiver has become a trusted companion providing exceptional care AND the "caring" to get to know them well and their needs. We are out of state and our Amada caregiver is our in person connection to help manage their care, improve their quality of life and offer compassionate companionship. The professionalism and attention to detail is excellent. We truly couldn't do it without Cheryl! From transportation to errands or doctor appointments or socializing and getting outside she has may a huge difference in their wellbeing. She has been integral in connecting with the nursing facility staff and ensuring our parents' care is up to par in their facility. Amada is responsive, communicative and never fails to follow up with any concerns we have. Amada LV and Cheryl are five stars!
