Amada Senior Care – Columbus

Amada Senior Care Columbus is a locally owned franchise office (owner John Tolentino) that sends caregivers to seniors' homes for personal care, companionship and household help. Its website describes it as an accredited VA provider and says the team files and manages long-term care insurance claims at no charge, and helps veterans check eligibility for Aid and Attendance. The site says caregivers offer respite care for family members and that each caregiver completes specialized training in Alzheimer's and related dementias. Families in reviews describe a quick response from the owner, an in-home needs assessment and caregivers who were patient with a very elderly parent; one reviewer describes the agency providing 24/7 care for a client.

Caregivers help with bathing, dressing, toileting and incontinence care, walking, meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders and transportation to appointments and errands. The site describes dementia and Alzheimer's care with caregivers trained in dementia stages, communication techniques and wandering prevention, and it lists care for COPD, CHF and stroke recovery. Care can also be provided in assisted living or other senior communities.

The office is at 579 Executive Campus Dr Ste 230, Westerville, OH 43082; office hours are Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and phones are answered 24/7. The agency offers a free care needs consultation and an in-home assessment. Payment options described on the site include private pay, long-term care insurance (with free claims filing) and VA benefits, including Aid and Attendance and VA-funded home or respite care.
