Amada Senior Care San Rafael
Proudly serving seniors and families in Sonoma, Napa and Marin Counties
Mike and Angela Lynch, local residents and owners of Amada Senior Care in San Rafael, are dedicated to providing quality and loving care to seniors in this tight-knit community and its equally cozy neighborhoods nearby. Mike and Angela saw firsthand the importance of compassionate in-home care with their own grandparents, so they know how quality care can provide many positive impacts to the entire family.
Angela recalls, “Not long ago, my grandparents were getting to the point where they needed help with meals. While initially we all pitched in, we very soon realized we didn’t have the time to provide the care my grandparents needed—so we began the process of looking for someone we could trust in their home. We were very lucky to find a gentleman who took loving care of them and was able to watch my grandparents blossom from this care and love. That caregiver became part of our family.”
At Amada, we strive to meet the unique senior care needs of each individual family while providing exemplary live-in care. In cases where home is no longer the best place for a beloved senior, we will guide families to the ideal assisted living community to meet their needs. We’ll also make sure each family has access to every resource available to help fit senior care into their budgets, including long-term care insurance, veteran’s benefits and even life insurance policies.
We do all of these things and more because we have a genuine interest in each of our clients and their loved ones. As Mike says, “At Amada, we are an extension of your own family, and we’re here to make sure your mom and dad are happy, healthy and thriving on a daily basis.”

Amada Senior Care obviously cares about their mission and we had a good experience. We had no idea how to help our uncle get back to health when he was discharged from the hospital following his surgery. Amada not only answered all of our family's questions but they made things as easy as they could. Our family can’t recommend them highly enough!
The personal attention and love provided to my loved one was very comforting. Amada Senior Care listened to our needs and sent us the best caregiver. On both a personal and on a professional level, the Amada team showed they really care and have the best interests of clients at heart. Our family can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with Amada San Rafael.
My husband’s case manager at his skilled nursing facility recommended Amada Senior Care. We signed up for Amada’s Transition Home Safely service to start as soon as he came home from the facility. Amada’s hard-working scheduler Nellie and our first caregiver, Birdiana, were with me when my husband arrived home by transport. I was impressed by the care he received care from Amada and especially with the efforts by Birdiana, Nellie and Christine who were punctual and went out of their way. Nellie spent the time to set up extra schedules to meet my husband’s required care plan needs. I can’t thank Amada enough for providing support, care and comfort.
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 Rafael 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 Rafael has years of experience with senior care in San Rafael, Novato, Corde Madera, Tiburon, Mill Valley, Larkspur, and Tiburon. 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 Rafael 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.
