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.
Sharon Sheehan, Caregiver Success Coordinator
Sharon takes her role as Caregiver Success Coordinator quite seriously, noting the scheduling component of her job, though important, is only one part.
“I started with Amada Cleveland as a caregiver myself — one of the very first caregivers when we opened — and can proudly say I worked with the first client,” she says. “I now work with caregivers to find the best possible fit for them, one that takes into consideration their personal lives and career goals, and their strengths and interests,” she continues. This makes her better able to help pair each caregiver with a client who will thrive under their care.
As a child Sharon spent a great deal of time around the kitchen table with a mom who was an LPN, and her nurse colleagues, knowing immediately she wanted to pursue healthcare. “I’d accompany my mom to the scrubs store and have her buy little scrubs for me,” she recalls. She adds as soon as she could work in senior care she did, believing that was the right calling for her.
Accordingly, at 15, Sharon started an afterschool and weekend job in dining services for a senior living community, later becoming an aide at two other facilities looking to focus on memory care. To further her education, she immersed herself in world renowned Positive Approach dementia care expert Teepa Snow’s online instruction and videos. She also garnered experience on the Cleveland Clinic’s neurology floor as a PCNA during the pandemic, transitioning to in-home senior care with Amada, knowing that’s where her heart is.
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.”
