Compassionate Senior Care in Mesa, Arizona
Serving families and seniors in Mesa, North Phoenix, Scottsdale, and the East Valley with pride
The owners of Amada Senior Care Mesa, Kimberly Akers and Kris Patmos, are longtime friends. Kris says, “We’ve been through many things together, including church ministry, raising our children, and now caring for our aging parents.” Just as Kimberly and Kris have supported each other as their own families entered senior care, they and the Amada Mesa Senior Care team want to support you and your family with all of your senior care questions, concerns, hopes and needs. One of the first questions families of elderly loved ones have is how to pay for in-home care. As specialists in Long-Term Care insurance, the Amada Mesa team guides policyholders in understanding their benefits and identifies available funding solutions that can help pay for a loved one’s care.
Because Kimberly and Kris both have experience seeking senior care for their own parents, they understand the importance of finding the highest quality of care possible for loved ones. They know care quality can have a significant impact on seniors and their family members. Kimberly says, “Like many sons and daughters, I am part of what we call ‘the sandwich generation.’ We have children at home, careers, spouses we invest our time in, and meanwhile, we are also taking care of the needs of our aging parents. As I have journeyed with my parents as the oldest daughter in our family, I have found freedom in having others come in and help my parents with food preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, exercise, and other activities of daily living. Now, when I’m with my parents, I am with my parents—I can be the daughter I want to be and enjoy the time I have with them.”
At Amada Senior Care Mesa, we provide comprehensive, non-medical, senior care services to families and seniors living in Phoenix and the East Valley, including Ahwatukee, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, North Phoenix, Scottsdale, Sun Lakes, Tempe, Queen Creek, and other nearby communities. In addition to providing top-quality, in-home care to seniors, we also help families find assisted living residences that are a good fit for elder loved ones should the time come when they need more support.

We Can Help You Review Policies and Verify Benefits
If you are worried about you or your loved one getting the senior care you deserve, Long-Term Care insurance (LCTi) can help. However, it’s important that you understand your policy, because not all policies entitle their holders to the same benefits. We will help you make sense of your particular LTCi policy by verifying what benefits are provided, so you can be sure you are using them correctly and to your greatest advantage.
We Are Your Personal LTCi Advocates
You can rely on us to act as your personal advocate with your LCTi carrier. If you’ve ever been stuck on hold waiting to speak to an LCTi representative, you know how frustrating it can be just to try and make contact. We have excellent professional relationships with almost every carrier and administrator, and we are always more than happy to call our contacts directly to advocate for you.
We Offer Effective Benefit Assignments and Payment Monitoring
By assigning your LTCi benefits to a care plan specific to your unique needs, we will make sure you use them most effectively. If you would like, we can also take over payment monitoring or even bill your LTCi carrier directly giving you one less thing to keep track of on your to-do list.
Let Us Process Claims and Submit Paperwork
Let the experts at Amada Senior Care walk you through claims forms and other paperwork so you complete them more easily. We know the process is tedious, and we want to help you get quality senior care as quickly as possible.
“Those we care for have come to see our Amada team as trusted friends who truly want the best for your family”

My sister and I recently inherited the responsibility for caring for our elderly father. This is new to all of us and it’s been a bumpy ride. The people at Amada have been terrific. Everyone we’ve talked to has been knowledgeable, empathetic and helpful, from scheduling to billing to insurance to aging topics. I’ll call out Kim and TJ but I know I’ve talk to others who helped us a lot. Especially we love Brooklyn C. She treats our dad as her own and let’s be clear, there’s been some DRAMA. I’m not sure how we would’ve gotten through the last few weeks without her. 🤍
We’re still learning elder care ropes, and am grateful for Amada’s assistance with everything.
Amada has been great to work with. Kim & her
team helped me tremendously with my Long
Term Care policy. They went above & beyond
to ensure I received everything I was eligible
for according to my contract.
The Amada staff responds quickly when
I have questions & concerns & they work hard
to ensure the client & caregiver are a good fit.
Our caregiver, Tracy, has been phenomenal!
Overall, we are very happy with Amada!
After attending the free lunch sponsored by AMADA at which Kimberly presented an excellent overview of what most long-term care insurance policies cover, I signed up for an in-depth review of my own personal LTC policy. Not only did Kimberly graciously come to my house, she gave me a comprehensive and detailed accounting of what my policy does and does not cover, the do's and don'ts of filing a claim, and an offer to be of assistance in the future. Now that's going above and beyond!
Companionship. Comfort. Inspiration. Respect. Along with assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs), these are just some of the elements our skilled and highly trained caregivers provide to our clients. In caring for our own family members and building an exemplary business maintaining the care of your loved ones, we’ve learned that so often the intangibles like humor and encouragement are just as important as the daily tasks needing to be performed. At Amada Senior Care Mesa, we pride ourselves at being experts in all of the above and more.
Knowledgeable, Experienced Senior Housing Advising
Sometimes seniors or their loved ones begin to feel that more support than in-home care and ADLs is needed. When that happens, it may be time to consider transitioning to an assisted living community.
We know changes of this nature are emotional, and the pressure to make a good decision can feel very stressful. Amada Senior Care in Mesa is committed to guiding families through the assisted living facility placement process with competence, wisdom, and empathy, whether a non-complex medical services facility is a good fit or more full-time support — such as what would be offered in a nursing home — is needed. Because we know families often fear the cost of assisted living, we offer our placement services free of charge.
The home care assistance team at Amada Senior Care Mesa has years of experience with senior care in Ahwatukee, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, North Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Scottsdale, Sun Lakes, Tempe and other nearby communities. As a result, we know all the local care communities through and through. This deep knowledge allows us to make sure our clients find the placement that best suits their care needs, locations, lifestyles, and budgets.
Our senior care clients transitioning to assisted living communities can still rely on our experience with LCTi benefits to ensure they make full use of all benefits available. Assisted living costs intimidate many families. We can help you make decisions with confidence. We want our clients to have the best quality of life possible. We specialize in referring seniors to the right community or placement for them, which may include:
- Assisted living communities
- Alzheimer/dementia and memory care communities
- Large and small senior living communities
- Independent living communities
- Residential care or group homes
- Skilled nursing facilities
