Longtime friends Kimberly Akers and Kris Patmos have always been driven by a desire to enrich the lives of others.
“Through extensive research and discovery, we realized that opening an Amada Senior Care franchise would allow us to enrich the lives of seniors and their families while also providing much-needed employment in our community,” Akers says, adding that their franchise is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
Amada Senior Care provides four or more hours of in-home care for seniors per visit; services include personal hygiene assistance, light housekeeping, companionship, meal preparation, medication reminders and redirection, and oversight for those with cognitive impairments.
Akers and Patmos only employ caregivers who are background-checked, legally authorized to work in the United States, and are Amada W-2 employees.
The services offered by Amada Senior Care not only provide necessary assistance, but they also allow many seniors to remain in their homes.
“As we age, whether due to slowing down or being diagnosed with an illness, supportive care becomes essential for staying safely at home,” Akers says. “For 90% of aging loved ones, the goal is to age in their own homes rather than move into assisted living facilities. This is especially true for couples who are aging differently but still wish to remain together in the comfort of their home.”
Akers says she and Patmos are incredibly humbled to have enriched the lives of over 1,000 seniors and their families over the past decade.
“At Amada Senior Care, we understand that caring for a senior means supporting the entire family, including adult children and their families,” Akers says. “As adult daughters ourselves, we resonate with our generation who are still working, possibly caring for children or grandchildren, and simultaneously supporting their aging loved ones. We are dedicated to providing high-quality services at Amada Senior Care and proud of the impact we have made.”
