Compassionate Senior Care in Mesa, Arizona
Daily 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.
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, who are living throughout 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 placements that are a good fit. As specialists in Long-Term Care insurance, we help policyholders understand their benefits and we can also help you find the best ways to pay for a loved one’s care.

We are Experts in Long-Term Care Insurance Claims
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.

Great thanks to Kimberly for listening to my rantings about vaccines and appointments this last month --- I don't think that this is in her job description. Listening is a special talent that she has and she continually calms me down. Kudos to her.
And I have to mention that the rest of the Amada staff have been truly supportive to me.
Thank you all.
After using caregivers from another agency, we were frustrated with the serious lack of information and poor management practices. A friend recommended Amada. Since using them we have found the staff to be caring, prompt, accurate and personable. Their level of professionalism is a relief; they are part of the solution, not another source of problems.
I have had wonderful care from many dedicated women for almost a year. Erika Hollins has been here to help me through the day most of the time and has been thoughtful, caring, patient and compassionate. I have learned a lot from her and she has been positive , and inspirational. Fortunately when Erika was with other clients. Amada always made sure i had help for the day.
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
