Amada Senior Care Northwest Twin Cities
Greg Getchell, owner of Amada Senior Care Northwest Twin Cities, has learned through his healthcare career as well as his personal experiences that it can be incredibly difficult to find quality in-home and senior care. He is determined to change this for his Minnesota neighbors in the Northwest Twin Cities, Minnetonka, Maple Grove, Andover, White Bear Lake, Shoreview, Blaine, Plymouth, Hennepin County, Edina, and surrounding communities.
As Greg puts it, “I have built a career in healthcare over the last 19 years. More recently, my involvement in the treatment of stroke patients has opened my eyes to the need for quality in-home care. Having witnessed the aging of my parents and my wife’s parents and grandparents has also made me keenly aware that, inevitably, someday we or someone we love will be in need of home care. Through my work at Amada Senior Care Northwest Twin Cities, my mission is to provide you and your loved ones with the best possible senior care.”
To Greg and the rest of our Amada Northwest Twin Cities team, providing quality in-home care requires much more than simply helping a senior or client with basic activities of daily living like cooking and bathing. We believe it is essential that we enrich our clients’ lives on a daily basis. To do this, we get to know each client personally so that we can identify the most meaningful ways to brighten their days. This could mean reading aloud from Grandpa’s favorite book, helping Mom get her hair “just right,” or setting up a time to meet the grandkids at the neighborhood park. We seek opportunities like this because we feel that bringing our clients joy is just as important as helping them stay safe.
In addition to providing superior home-care, we at Amada Northwest Twin Cities also offer senior housing advisory and placement services, financial counseling to help our clients find the best way to pay for care, and even direct advocacy with long-term care insurance carriers. We realize that every family’s journey through senior care is different, and we walk beside them every step of the way—because you’ll never feel alone when you’re part of the Amada Northwest Twin Cities family.

Long-Term Care Insurance Claims Experts
Let’s Review Your Policies and Verify Benefits
Long-term care insurance should help you or your loved one get the senior care you deserve, but understanding your policy and what it entitles you to is important. We will help you make sense of your LTCi policy and verify your benefits so you can be sure you are using them to your greatest advantage.
Let Us Process Claims and Submit Paperwork For You
The experts at the Amada LTCi Resource Center will walk you through the completion of claims forms and other paperwork, which can help you get quality senior care more quickly.

We have built professional relationships with most carriers and administrators, so the families we care for never need to feel stuck waiting on hold to speak with a representative of their LTCi carrier. We are happy to call our contacts directly to advocate for you.
Let Us Handle The Benefit Assignments and Payment Monitoring
Use your LTCi benefits most effectively by assigning them to a care plan specific to your unique needs. Not sure where to start? We can also take over payment monitoring or even bill your LTCi carrier directly, so you have one less thing to worry about.

Caregivers-Loved them all!
I am so thankful for you and the care and support you gave dad and our family. You and your team brought him comfort, security, joy, safety and nourishment at the time he needed it most. He adored his staff and they helped him accept care and enjoy new friendships. Our family is forever grateful for your support. The kindness you give along with the care is a gift beyond measure.
Jennifer was an awesome caregiver for my Mom as she continued to recover at home.
Thank you, not only to you, but all of your capable and caring staff during our challenging times with my Mom.
Senior Housing Advising
When seniors or their loved ones begin to feel that they require more support than in-home care and assistance with basic ADLs, it may be time to consider transitioning to an assisted living community.
This is an emotional decision for everyone involved, and our goal at Amada Senior Care in Northwest Twin Cities is to guide families through the placement process with wisdom, empathy and competence.
For some seniors, an assisted living community, typically offering non-complex medical services, may be a good fit. Others may require a bit more support and may be better served in a nursing home or different type of care community.
The team at Amada Senior Care Northwest Twin Cities has years of experience with senior care in Northwest Twin Cities, Minnetonka, Maple Grove, Andover, White Bear Lake, Shoreview, Blaine, Plymouth, Hennepin County, Edina, and surrounding communities. As a result, we have deep knowledge of all local care communities and can make sure our clients find the ideal placement to suit their care needs, locations, lifestyles, and budgets.
We also rely on our extensive experience to help our clients make full use of all benefits available to them, including veterans’ benefits and Long-Term Care Insurance benefits. The costs of assisted living may intimidate many families, but we can help them make financial decisions with confidence. To further ease cost concerns, the Amada Northwest Twin Cities team is pleased to offer its placement services free of charge.
When in-home care is no longer ideal for our clients, we are honored to guide them through this next phase in senior living. Our specialty is referring seniors to the right community or placement for them, which may include:
- Assisted living communities
- Large and small communities
- Independent living communities
- Board and care homes
- Adult family homes
- Senior care homes
- Skilled nursing facilities
- Alzheimer/dementia communities
Many of our veterans, their spouses and their families may not be aware of their potential eligibility for financial assistance from the government. At Amada Senior Care Northwest Twin Cities, we are dedicated to helping individuals eligible for VA Aid and Attendance benefits and other forms of financial support take full advantage of these resources.
