Amada is here for you!
Having the support of a trained Amada caregiver can boost the quality of life not only for seniors who are afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease, but also their families. As many as 5.3 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s Disease and they are usually cared for by family members. Like all dementias, Alzheimer’s is an incurable disease that affects the patient’s cognitive, physical and functional abilities. Alzheimer’s and dementia worsen over time, eventually limiting the patient’s ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs). When the responsibility of caring for a senior loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia care falls on your shoulders, having the right resources and support system can help you manage the symptoms of stress, depression and burnout that are often experienced by family caregivers. Amada care providers are trained to help seniors in the early stages of memory loss and related dementias into the late stages of disease progression.

This means that the Alzheimer’s Association and AARP do not vet, evaluate, recommend or endorse any particular provider. Providers are solely responsible for keeping their information current.

The Community Resource Finder is powered by HealthlinkDimensions, which aggregates and maintains basic information about licensed senior service providers in the U.S. from several hundred sources at the federal, state, and local levels as well as through senior service membership organizations. Basic information about non-licensed providers is collected from private sources. Information is collected when providers complete a free Provider Profile, outlining the care and services they offer. HealthlinkDimensions is solely responsible for this activity. Additionally, program information from the Alzheimer’s Association and AARP is compiled.
