I have never worked for an agency like Amada South Shore that is so dedicated to their clients and aides. The owners, Meg, Beth and Phil, visit the homes of clients to best determine what they need according to their individual care plan. Being compassionate and caring, they also visit clients whenever extra support is needed. Each of the owners has a background in nursing or social work, and clients know they are in good, caring hands.
They also highly value the personal care aides they employ. Our schedules are designed to ensure the client and the aide feel comfortable together. In addition, a client is never left without assistance. Should an aide not be available, the scheduler makes sure another caregiver is assigned to serve the client for the scheduled shift. Sometimes that means an owner takes the shift! Having worked for different home care agencies, I have never felt so satisfied with my work as I do at Amada South Shore.
Our family has been very impressed with the communication, flexibility and high level of care Amada is providing us during in my wife’s final days. I'm not able to express enough good things about Amada South Shore.
You and your team provided home care for me for over 2 months after I had open heart surgery right after Labor Day. You and your team provided awesome care 24-7 for several weeks before reducing the time to 12 hours per day. At all times the caregivers were everything I could ever hope for. They were kind, caring, and very helpful. Barbara and I thank you and Phil for all that was done for me.
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 South Shore 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 South Shore has years of experience with senior care in Braintree, Weymouth, Hingham, Cohasset, Hull, Scituate, Norwell, Hanover, Pembroke, Marshfield, Duxbury, Kingston, Plymouth, Wareham, Cape Cod, Bourne, Sandwich, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Harwich, Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, Provincetown 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 South Shore 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. At Amada Senior Care South Shore, 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.
