Amada Senior Care always provides caregivers who are courteous, professional, and caring. Their assistance has been tremendous with my 95-year-old mother. Our family wouldn't call any other agency.
Rick Hagins at Amada (and wife Michelle) had assisted in the care of my mother during hospice. Rick came immediately to the hospital, helped with mounds of paperwork with insurance and other benefits, and supplied a team of caregivers. I can’t thank him enough for immediately coming to our aid at a very desperate time. He understood just how to walk us through each step. Thanks, Rick!
Our caregiver Leslie at Amada Senior Care is great. She takes so much of the pressure of providing care in the morning off my shoulders. Thank you!
Rick from Amada Senior Care was able to guide me through getting my Long-Term Care insurance claim completed. What a relief! Not only was Rick very responsive but also helpful to my needs. I recommend him and Amada highly!
During a challenging time, Amada was very understanding and accommodating.
Amada Senior Care of San Fernando Valley provides excellent care. Their caregivers show up on time and regularly provide great service. Co-owner Michelle proactively advises me about any issues and keeps in touch with the caregivers who provide care. I worry much less about receiving home care than I did with other agencies.
I contacted Amada for help with my elderly aunt. The same caregiver has been with her mostly from day one. The caregiver takes my aunt to doctor appointments, to run errands, and to get her food. She also helps remind my aunt to take her medication on time.
I was provided the office number for Rick and his team from a rehab center where my aunt stayed temporarily. Amada took over caregiving when my aunt got home. Both Rick and Michelle are great and very helpful!
Rick and his team make sure that my mom gets to her monthly doctor's appointment on time. They do so in a supportive way, and it gives me tremendous ease of mind to know mom she is well taken care of. Not only that, but the caregiving team is very responsive and their level of care and professionalism is unparalleled. I highly recommend with a 10/10. Amada is absolutely fantastic!
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.
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
