Meet Our Team of Senior Care Professionals
Bob Mikolich | Owner
Helming Amada Senior Care Cleveland, native Buckeye Bob Mikolich brings three decades of healthcare experience to his role. Ranging in scope from pharmaceuticals to medical device sales and owning a specialty medical company, Bob was drawn to the homecare industry by the opportunity to help deserving seniors in his community.
An up close and personal experience with his mom and seriously ailing dad also fueled his decision to enter the realm of compassionate senior care, understanding the need that profoundly affects family members as much as clients. “I want to provide senior care in a way that helps people navigate those difficult waters,” he says. “What happens when someone ages should not stress family members in ways that become unmanageable, impacting their own mental, emotional and physical health in the process.”
An expert in long-term care insurance (LCTI) and Veterans Administration (VA) benefits, Bob helps clients and their families distill the complexities of accessing funds to help pay for care. “We know we’ve made a difference in a family’s life by providing exceptional care for their loved one,” he says. “When we are told we’ve lightened their load, we know we’ve been successful in carrying out our very determined mission.”
Bob has been married to Stacee for 25 years and has two boys, Jack, a senior at Ohio State, Sam, a sophomore at Ohio State.
Kevin McLaughlin, MSN | Vice President
Kevin knows that graduating from St. Ignatius High School means everything to so many area residents, a badge he proudly wears in his role as Vice President. Starting as the agency’s original employee/operations manager, he wore many hats such as director of clinical services and was integral in developing all of the company’s standard operating procedures.
Today, his role involves much of the above, as well as marketing and community outreach. He oversees the entire office staff. “My hand in supporting each and every member of our company, and clients and their families, is in everything, which is the way it should be,” he says. “The words I live by are ‘how can we help?’”
Kevin served in the Navy from 1996-2000. After he was discharged he obtained his BS and MS in Nursing enroute to a long career in venues including the Cleveland Clinic. There he worked in neurology/neurosurgery with an emphasis on Alzheimer’s/dementia. Time as coordinator of the Cleveland Clinic’s Deep Brain Stimulation Program for Parkinson’s disease led to a role as Nurse Manager of Neurology where he oversaw 60 nurses and nurses’ aides, treating patients with strokes, brain tumors and movement disorders.
Married with seven children, Kevin says his wife is his best friend and credits a sense of humor with growing a loving family and compassionate business.
Angela McLaughlin | Director of Finance
Angela McLaughlin brings years of experience in finance, management, and customer service to the Amada team. She initially joined Amada in a part-time role supporting billing and financial operations, and even stepped in as a caregiver when needed—demonstrating her versatility and commitment to client care.
Angela takes great pride in delivering exceptional customer service and firmly believes that every voice deserves to be heard. Inspired by her husband, Kevin McLaughlin, Vice President of Amada Cleveland, and his dedication to supporting families in the community, Angela was motivated to become more deeply involved. She now shares that same passion for helping seniors safely and comfortably age in place.
Outside of her work, Angela stays busy raising and supporting her seven children through their many extracurricular activities. In her free time, she enjoys spending quality time with family and friends, reading, and watching Shark Tank.
Austin Wolff | Operations Manager
Austin didn’t stumble into senior care; he grew up in it. His parents launched a senior care business while he was attending Westlake High School, and watching them pour themselves into the lives of their clients sparked his passion for seniors.
Before making it his own career, Austin served four years on active duty with the United States Coast Guard first as a Boat Crew and Ice Rescue Team Member at Small Boat Station Marquette, Michigan, and then as a Storekeeper with the Coast Guard Investigative Service in Cleveland, managing logistics and supply chain operations for special agents across the Great Lakes.
At Amada Cleveland, Austin leverages his unconventional experience every day keeping operations running smoothly, supporting caregivers in the field, and making sure clients and their families are satisfied with their level of care. “When families trust you with someone they love, you don’t take that lightly,” he says.
When he’s not at work, he enjoys spending time with his cat Pippi, tinkering on computers, and reading different genres of fiction.

Chelbie Turner, STNA | Caregiver Success Coordinator
Chelbie is a lifelong resident of the Westside of Cleveland. Her grandmother who raised her was a nurse and instilled the desire and values of a caregiver. Chelbie has been a caregiver for 10 years working in the facility setting as well providing in-home care. For the last 2 years she has worked primarily as a scheduler but also helps with recruiting. She is an STNA and is currently in nursing school. Says Chelbie, “Because of the influence of my grandma, I’ve been drawn to caregiving. Taking care of people is a passion not just a job. I want to be able to help people and make a difference in their lives. Unfortunately, my mom has a diagnosis of ALS so caregiving in not only my vocation but also my advocation.”
Yvonne Butler | Account Manager/Marketing
Faith ✝️ | Family 💕 | Strength
Clinical Liaison | Healthcare Advocate | Baker | Creator
With over 24 years in Healthcare Administration, I’ve dedicated my life to connecting families to quality care with compassion, consistency, and results. I knew I had found my calling the moment I was able to help families navigate some of their most difficult seasons with confidence and support.
A proud longtime Lorain County resident, I studied Marketing and Business Development at Lorain County Community College, building a foundation for both my healthcare career and my passion for serving people.
By day, I advocate for patients and families. By heart, I’m an artist and baker—turning care into connection and creativity into joy. If it involves helping people or creating something meaningful, I’m all in.
My world is centered around my amazing husband, my two successful daughters, and my favorite little human—my grandson.
Life tested me with Stage 3A breast cancer—but God kept me. I’m still standing, still growing, and still becoming everything I’m called to be.
After searching for a company that truly reflects my heart for people, I’m grateful to be part of Amada Senior Care—where compassion meets quality and families come first.
Dedicated, reliable, and purpose-driven—I serve with integrity and lead with heart.
