My thanks go out to the Office Manager and multiple Caregivers at Amada in Frederick Maryland, recommended to me as reliable by a local nurse in social services. They are friendly, responsive, and have handled a difficult patient with genuine concern. After a few issues with one of their caregivers, which I believe was an anomaly, they found a replacement in short order. I've relied on them a great deal. Definitely recommend.
I highly recommend Rick Hagins and Amada Senior Care, who helped me while in a desperate situation needing last-minute and affordable care for my mother. Not only is she challenging to care for, but an added challenge was being in Koreatown with no access to parking. RN Barbara Wogh, (a true blessing!) of Keeping Your Parents Safe, referred us to Amada and the owner, Rick, was able to provide in-home support the next day.
After explaining all of the particulars of our situation, Rick went above and beyond to successfully meet our unique and complex needs within 24 hours. The caregiver caring for mom was compassionate and skilled, and assisted with cleaning. We were deeply grateful for this, as we didn't expect it since just caring for my mom is a full-time job. I will always be grateful for such excellent help and support during a challenging time.
I've been working at Amada San Fernando Valley as a caregiver for a few months and I have to say it is a real treat and a pleasure. I was ecstatic to get to work once I had my initial interview with the owner, Rick, because he took the time to explain Amada's core values and goals for providing the best senior care. He was careful to match me with clients in my area and he got me on shift as soon as possible. Keeping records of my work hours is so easy, which is a much appreciated difference from other agencies. I truly look forward to starting a shift.
I love that Amada is a company with integrity and with the goal of serving the senior community. I feel confident knowing that I can go to Rick with any issues and I know that concerns will be handled professionally, timely and confidentially. For me, caregiving is the most personally rewarding experience. I enjoy the feeling of heading home with the knowledge that I help give seniors the ability to age in their own homes because I am that extra pair of hands they need. Families are grateful to have my caregiving support as they face the challenges of helping their senior loved ones navigate their senior journey.
If you are interested in a rewarding career that lets you help seniors in need of compassionate care, choose Amada Senior Care because it is the right agency to help get you started. Contact Amada today and start helping change the lives of seniors and their families! Thank you, Rick, for everything!
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 San Fernando Valley 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 San Fernando Valley has years of experience with senior care in Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Chatsworth, Northridge, Sherman Oaks, Granada Hills, Encino, Van Nuys, the Hollywood Hills, and dozens of 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 San Fernando Valley 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. 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.
