Amada Senior Care is a personal care business specializing in non-medical, in-home senior care. The company looks to enrich seniors' lives through nurturing, compassionate care as they guide families through senior housing options. Founded in 2007, Amada has become one of the more well-known names in the senior care industry, with over 100 locations in the U.S.
An ideal franchisee candidate doesn't need a background in senior care, but they do need to be a passionate and caring individual who has the drive to run a good business. Amada Senior Care believes that they can teach you all you'll need to know to operate your franchise, but they cannot teach compassion or motivation.

Amada Senior Care also has franchising coaches you can call for advice at any time. If need be, they'll travel out to your location to help you.
To build customer loyalty, Amada Senior Care uses a proprietary software system called Transparent. This innovative software allows families to log on and see what Amada Senior Care caregivers provided for their loved ones that day. This system also synchronizes billing with caregivers' visits.
