Amada Senior Care Southern Utah
Ty and Craig Tippets, owners of Amada Senior Care Southern Utah, are proud to have earned a reputation for providing compassionate care to their Washington County friends and neighbors in St. George, Washington, Santa Clara, La Verkin, Hurricane and Ivins; and Cedar City, Enoch and Parowan in Iron County.
For the team here at Amada Southern Utah, senior care is more of a calling than a job. We have shared personal and professional experiences as both providers of care and as the loved ones of care recipients, and we have seen the massive difference quality senior care can make for our clients and their families. Additionally, many of us look with gratitude to our own beloved elders, who taught us some of life’s most important lessons—and we know that our clients hold similar places in their own loved ones’ hearts. We are dedicated to caring for our clients with the same level of attention and love we would demand for our own family members.
According to Craig, “For the past six years, I worked in an assisted living facility, and I grew very close to several of the residents there. Many of them called me “grandson,” which meant a lot to me because I was so close with my own grandmother. My grandma lived with us for 20 years, and we were the best of friends. We went out to eat together. We traveled together. Because of those experiences I had with my grandma and my friends at the assisted living home, I’m really excited to work with senior citizens and help you and your loved ones get through those difficult years.”
One of the primary services we provide at Amada Southern Utah is non-medical in-home care. We come into clients’ homes and help them with activities of daily living such as meal preparation, bathing, medication reminders, and even transportation—whatever we can do to help them maintain their independence. In addition to helping with ADLs, each Amada caregiver shares the goal of forging a bond with our clients so that we can enrich their lives and serve them in the most meaningful ways. We believe this “personal touch,” whether it is taking Uncle Jim out for a drive to look at the fall foliage or taking Grandma out for coffee with her friends, is what makes each day special for our clients.
In addition to providing compassionate in-home care, we at Amada Southern Utah can also help you and your family find the perfect assisted living environment for your loved one, figure out the best ways for senior care, and navigate other aspects of senior care. We realize that this can be a stressful and emotional time for all members of your family, and we encourage you to count on us for the support and guidance you need.
Because when you put your trust in Amada, your family becomes part of the Amada family—and we’ll always care for you and your loved ones accordingly.

My husband suffered a catastrophic traumatic brain injury which left him disabled. Unfortunately, we had the opportunity to work with a number of care companies in St George who weren't able to meet my husband's needs. However, when we met with the owners of Amada Senior Care to discuss our needs, we knew had found the BEST care giving company in Southern Utah. All personal care assistants were well trained in assisting with ADLs as well as light housekeeping. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs assistance with their loved ones.
The caregiver we had was perfect for our family and was always willing to help and support us and work the hours we needed her the most.
I have been very impressed by the people at Amada. They are great people and were very easy to work with. I highly recommend them.
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 Southern Utah 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 Southern Utah has years of experience with senior care in St. George, Washington, Santa Clara, La Verkin, Hurricane and Ivins; and Cedar City, Enoch and Parowan in Iron County. 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 Southern Utah 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
