Serving the NorthShore, Western Suburbs,
and North Side of Chicago
Jennifer Novy, owner of Amada Senior Care NorthShore, has dedicated her professional and personal life to caring for seniors. A life-long Chicagoan, she uses her extensive senior care experience to help her neighbors in Lake Forest, Libertyville, Lincolnwood, Winnetka, Skokie, Deerfield, Highland Park, Northbrook, Glenview, Park Ridge, Wilmette, Glencoe and Evanston, Elmhurst, Downers Grove, Hinsdale, Western Springs, and surrounding communities live independently in their own homes and maintain a high quality of life.
Jenny says, “I have a master’s in gerontology as well as a master’s in therapeutic recreation, and I’ve been working with seniors across Illinois for the past 25 years. I feel very fortunate that older adults have always been a part of my life: I even knew my great-grandparents and my great-aunts. Most importantly, both of my grandparents on my mother’s side and on my father’s side played a huge role in my life. In fact, my grandma and grandpa lived just down the street — literally, six doors down from me — and I was fortunate to help care for them when they were coming to the ends of their lives.
“More recently, we lost my father-in-law and my mother-in-law, both to cancer. They were so young, and we were not ready. But we were able to bring hospice caregivers into their home, and they made such a difference in the care both Mom and Dad received. They worked with us to provide comfort, and they made Mom and Dad’s lives better. They made our lives better, too.”
Now, Jenny and her team at Amada NorthShore work hard to provide the same level of compassion in-home care services for other seniors and their families. As Jenny says, “I really have a passion for working with seniors, and I want to make a difference in your life — for you and your loved ones.”
Practical and Compassionate In-Home Senior Care
Amada caregivers are trained to provide seniors and adults assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), but Amada NorthShore’s home care aides do so much more than just help seniors with dressing, toileting, bathing, cooking, and running errands. Our trained caregivers also help our clients maintain their independence and continue doing what they’ve done their whole lives, from attending social gatherings to engaging in beloved hobbies. We also offer Home Nursing Services for all your medical needs in the comfort of your home. Home Nursing Services supplement nursing care when home health care is not enough. If in-home care ceases to be the best option for a senior, Jenny and the Amada NorthShore team will help families find the perfect place to meet all of their loved one’s needs.
At Amada NorthShore, we know that the best home health and senior care is always a family endeavor. That’s why we go out of our way to treat each one of our adults and senior clients and their loved ones like a member of our own family.

Our Commitment to Excellent Senior Care on Chicago’s NorthShore
Everyone on our team at Amada Senior Care NorthShore sees providing in-home senior care as much more than just a job that draws a paycheck. For all of us, ensuring seniors are safe and thriving is the fulfillment of our personal life goals. From helping a new senior client adjust their care plan so it better suits their needs, to engaging in a favorite hobby, to listening to family members’ stories or preparing a meal, we really do love the work we get to do — and it shows in all we do, too.

Jennifer NovyWhat our customers say
I had very effective care from a skilled medical assistant from Amada after a hospital stay and some need for help. Amada has a skilled strategic plan in sharing information, administrative management and well trained care givers. I know where to get care if I need it again. B. Hamlin
They have been absolutely wonderful to work with. My mother has received great 24-hr home care from them (and she admits it) and they have been great in maintaining communications with both the care takers and their supervisor. I highly recommend them.
Laura was very caring and understanding of my dad’s health needs. She made herself available on short notice to, which I greatly appreciated.
Rachel from Amada Senior Care was a godsend! We were looking for the right senior living facility for our Mom and she helped and supported us every step of the way. She shared all her research on all the locations and made all our appointments. She toured with me for each and every one and helped take photos or notes so I could keep track of them all. We found a perfect place for our Mom and we couldn’t have done it without Rachel. Well, we could have…but it would have been overwhelming and stressful. It was wonderful to be supported through the whole process. Thank you, Rachel! Thank you, Amada!
Rachael was amazing, patient, helpful and knowledgeable. She spent a lot of time looking into different senior living places for my mom who was recovering from a broken bone. She kept in constant contact with us and even checked on our family periodically to make sure all of our needs were met. I would highly recommend using her services and if needed, i would reach out to her again. Thank you tor making this a smooth transition for my mom and our family. We are forever grateful!
My wife and I used the services of Amada for 5 1/2 months. I can say sincerely that we were very pleased with the careful and pleasant and diligent attention provided by both office staff and all of the caregivers who helped us.I would not hesitate to recommend Amada to anyone needing the services they provide.
Amada worked hard with me to accommodate my scheduling needs and really made this happen for me. They were the only service willing and able to do this for me.`
Jennifer Novy and the staff at Amada Senior Care provided great daily care for my mother and enabled her to remain in her Independent Living residence with a little extra care. Amada gave me the peace of mind knowing that someone was checking on my mother and her residence daily and ready to advise me of any potential problems. Her primary caregiver, Beverly, was so wonderful in attending both the physical and emotional needs of my mother. Without Amada, our family would have needed to move my mother into a more expensive and smaller Assisted Living residence. I highly recommend Amada for your Senior Care needs!
Amada Senior Care has been working with my mother for several months now. They help her with her medications and make sure she has everything she needs in her daily life. We have been very happy with the nurses and aides that Amada Senior Care has sent to work with my mom. They are all very friendly, pleasant to be with, very professional and always onetime for their visits. I would highly recommend Amada Senior Care for your caretaking needs.
Suhad and Amada were wonderful to work with. I needed help with a family member and found Amada to be caring and empathetic when I called with questions about services they offered. Suhad was so kind and attentive. And she kept me posted daily on how my family member was doing. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing nursing care.

Amada has been truly a gift for our family as we dealt with a few medical issues, one right after another. They were ready as soon as we contacted them. As the needs changed, they were able to pivot just as quickly. It has taken a tremendous amount for stress away from our family. More importantly, our mom thrived under the care. The caregivers were excellent at meeting her needs while motivating her to recover!
Rachel and Jenny at Amada have been wonderful to work with. Their time management, availability to start services, as well as professionalism is unmatched. Thank you for being quick to respond. Great team to work with!

The entire team from Amada provided my family with a tremendous amount of compassion and professionalism during an extremely difficult time. They were there for us 24 hours a day. I will be forever grateful.
For the past week the wonderful healthcare workers from Amada Senior Care Northshore provided care to my wife who was recovering from hip surgery. We found each and every person who cared for my wife to be considerate, caring and compassionate. By having Amada for the first week post-op it allowed my to get a good night’s sleep each night and have the flexibility to run short errands while she was recovering. We highly recommend these wonderful caregivers and if the need arises again would gladly have them back.
Jenny & the team at Amada Northshore were so responsive & helpful in guiding my family with care options. Grateful for their expertise and warmth, we couldn’t have done this without them. I’ve been lucky enough to meet some of their caregivers & it’s so wonderful see how their hearts are in the right place.
Amada Senior Care NorthShore was instrumental in helping us find a senior living community for my father-in-law. They made the process stress-free and saved us so much time by helping us to narrow down where we would visit since they are very familiar with all the senior care facilities in our area. They even helped us to negotiate the best possible pricing. I highly recommend calling Amada Senior Care NorthShore to help you in choosing the right facility for your loved one!
I cannot tell you how pleased we are with the professional care we are currently receiving from Amada. Our caregivers are so well-trained and compassionate. They truly have our family member’s best interest in mind on a daily basis. They are very attentive, communicative, and follow the care plan. They are trained to de-escalate difficult situations, think creatively when the situation arises, and entertain our family member. They are always on time. We really appreciate the daily notes they write so we really get a feel for our family member’s day. Amada is very responsive both by email and by phone. We have had to call their 24 hour line a few times. Each time we reached someone promptly and they handled our situation professionally. I have recommended Amada to many of my friends.
Responsive and really great staff. Document well with lots of info for family and very helpful with needs.
The entire staff at Amada is very empathetic and willing to help with urgency-I highly recommend this company!
My family was very happy with the care my father received after surgery. Having a caregiver at night made it possible for my mom to get a good night sleep. Amada Senior Care was there when we needed them. Thank you!!
After my Mom passed away, my Dad was home alone and needed assistance. We looked around at many different options, and finally decided on Amada Care. I’m really glad we did. Donna was my Dad’s caregiver, and she was amazing! I highly recommend using Amada Senior Care.
When my parents found themselves in a situation where they needed care for my mom, I reached out to Amada Senior Care. Jenny was at their house the next day, she conducted a thorough house assessment, took her time speaking and listening closely to try and find solutions that met their needs. Jenny made things easy to understand, gave them all their options, helped with scheduling therapy, nurses, etc through their Medicare. Once she understood all of their needs, she was able to get a caregiver at their house the very next day! Thank you Amada, Jenny and Jaime for all your continuous help!!
After a shoulder replacement, I needed day care at my home because prior strokes left my other hand unusable. I could not do any of the usual daily functions . After meeting with Jenny Novy, I was confident she would be able to provide the care I needed. I was right. I was not used to being dependent on anyone else, but my caregiver was so competent and pleasant, it was like having a friend over for a visit! I will need the same type of care after another shoulder surgery soon and will be calling Amada without question.
The director and staff at Amada Northshore were so helpful and caring when our family was struggling with how to help our mother who is suffering from Alzheimers. They understood the challenges we were facing and offered practical solutions and advice. All the caregivers we met and employed have been skilled, kind and easy to work with. The office staff was excellent at following up and responding to any issues that arose. I highly recommend Amada Northshore to anyone who is looking for reliable, skilled, and caring home healthcare.
The team at Amada Northshore is so caring and considerate. A great team of people providing great care for my mom.
Amada did a great job caring for my wife’s grandfather. They were professional and the caregivers were very skilled.
Compassionate and Experienced Senior Housing Advising
Sometimes seniors require more support than in-home care and assistance with basic ADLs. When this situation arises, we can help our clients and their families find an ideal placement at a NorthShore assisted living community.
We know the choice to move a family member into an assisted care community is often an emotional decision for everyone involved. At Amada Senior Care in NorthShore, our goal is to provide families and seniors with the help they need to make the best choice for them. We will walk beside you through the placement process, and you can trust us to offer you wisdom, empathy, and guidance.
For many seniors, a retirement home or assisted living community that offers non-complex medical services might be the right fit. For seniors that need more support for memory care or more complex medical needs, a nursing home might be a better choice. Regardless, we will put our decades of experience with senior care in Lake Forest, Libertyville, Lincolnwood, Winnetka, Skokie, Deerfield, Highland Park, Northbrook, Glenview, Park Ridge, Wilmette, Glencoe and Evanston, Elmhurst, Downers Grove, Hinsdale, Western Springs, and surrounding communities to work for you and your loved ones. We work hard to make sure our clients’ placements suit more than just their care needs, but also their budgets, lifestyles, and locations. We know the cost of assisted living care worries many seniors and their loved ones. We will continue to offer help regarding benefit use — both with LTCi and any veterans’ benefits.
Assisted Living Placement Opportunities for NorthShore Seniors
We also offer our placement services to all our clients free of charge, so there’s no need to ever worry about pricing in relation to our senior housing consulting services. We want you to have peace of mind throughout the entire process.
When in-home care no longer suits our clients, we are honored to guide them to the right community or placement, which may include:
