The call usually comes from someone else. A neighbor on Longboat Key mentions your mother seemed confused at the mailbox. A friend from church says your dad has stopped driving to Sunday service. You live in Ohio, or New Jersey, or Chicago, and suddenly the distance feels enormous.

Setting up care when you can’t be there
You don’t need to be in Sarasota to get care started, but a few steps make it go smoothly:
- Talk with your parent first. Frame it as help that keeps them in their own home, not as a loss of independence.
- Gather the basics. A list of doctors, a list of medications, and a spare key or door code.
- Bring in a local contact. A neighbor or friend who can be reached in a pinch is valuable alongside paid care.
- Plan your first visit around the start of care. If you can be there for the first day or two, you will feel far more confident afterward.
- Agree on how you will hear about changes. Decide up front who calls you, how often, and about what.
How to pay for care

- Veterans benefits. A veteran or surviving spouse may qualify for VA benefits, such as Aid and Attendance, that help pay for care at home. Veterans benefits
- Private pay. Paying privately gives you the most flexibility over hours and scheduling.
What Families Say About Us
What can I say, Amada and the team are God sent. I was looking for people who would treat my step-dad as family, and became part of one! There aren’t words to say how grateful, appreciative and comfortable I am with all the caretakers and Mary at the helm, never does she not respond 🙏❤️
I had a difficult time deciding on a senior care for my mom b/c of all the minimum requirements usually needed as well as my concerns about what kind of care my mom would receive. Amada Senior Care was by far the most flexible and receptive working with our schedule and financial budget. Mary patiently sat down with us, went over all our needs and concerns, and together we created a specific, affordable program for my senior mom that has been an absolute blessing to my piece of mind. Rene, my mom’s companion, is an angel. She is wonderfully uplifting, friendly, and always there to provide my mom the care and any help she needs. Rene’s visits with my mom is the brightest times of her week. Knowing that she is being watched over and treated with such care, has lifted an enomous weight off my shoulders while I am working and not able to be there. I have also noticed since Amada has become a part of our life, mom has become more engaged, and happier than I’ve seen her since my dad died. Finding Amada ( Mary and Rene) has been a godsend to my family and I highly recommend giving them a try.
