Bob Mikolich, owner of Amada Senior Care Cleveland, understands that to provide the best quality of senior care it is necessary to support an entire family, not just a single client. He has seen firsthand the emotional and physical strain that often comes with taking care of an ill or elderly loved one and realizes that the pace many families keep while trying to care for a senior is simply not sustainable. In addition, Bob knows how important it is to address the financial aspect of in-home care. Specifically, how is this care going to be paid for?
As Bob recalls, “My mom was the primary caregiver for my dad the last few years of his life. His physical condition really deteriorated over time and it was a tremendous burden to my mom both physically and mentally. It took a toll on her health and I wish I had had the foresight to get her the help she needed sooner than later. Now, it is my mission to help aging seniors and their families so they can avoid a similar situation.”
Bob prefers to take a consultative approach with families. As an expert in long-term care insurance claims, he assists his clients with the complexities of verifying benefits and managing claims. He also can determine what benefits may be available through the Veterans Administration for those clients or their spouses who have served in the military during wartime. For his Private Pay clients, Bob assists in exploring life insurance exchange and home equity options that might help cover the costs of care.
If circumstances dictate that a senior housing community might be a better alternative when a senior needs more support than in-home care, the experts on the Amada Cleveland team are happy to recommend communities that they have pre-screened by way of an in-person visit.
Choosing the proper home care company for your loved one is something most people are not prepared for. Amada Senior Care Cleveland is here to show you the way.

Jumenah provided excellent care for my mother. Jumenah was a hard worker and went above and beyond in helping her. I highly recommend Amada Senior Care. They are extremely responsive and helpful.
Amada has been a great company to work with! They helped with my parent's long term care insurance policy and their caregivers have been great.
Amada Senior Care is a wonderful company!
Our family recently decided it was time to explore home health care services. After meeting with different agencies, we concluded that Amada Senior Care best suited our needs. The administrators were very helpful in explaining the services they provided and in filing necessary paperwork with our long-term health care insurance company.
The day we met Sylvia E., our healthcare worker, we knew she was exactly what we were looking for. Now that two months have passed, we can honestly say that she has exceeded all our expectations. Sylvia takes her job seriously, establishes an excellent rapport with us, and approaches her responsibilities with kindness, compassion, and a positive attitude.
Based on our experience, we feel confident in recommending Amada Senior Care.
Amada is a great company to work for. They show their appreciation of their caregivers and they have a wonderful office staff.
Amada has been delivering excellent care to our father for the past few weeks following his hospital stay. Our family is highly satisfied with Ebony, his caregiver. Not only does she ensure he is fed, showered, and socially engaged (which is not always easy), but she also maintains the cleanliness of the house and takes the dog for walks. Additionally, Ebony provides regular updates on his progress. We couldn't be more pleased with Amada Senior Care and their entire staff, who have collaborated with us to provide the level of care we expect for our father. Many thanks to all, especially Ebony!
We pride ourselves in the deep levels of expertise and empathy we provide in caring for Westlake area clients—and their families. We know families are protective of their loved ones, and the stresses and sacrifices that go along with family caregiving can make it extremely difficult in light of jobs, raising children, and other daily obligations. Our skilled, highly trained, compassionate caregivers form a meaningful partnership with both the client and his or her family, becoming an extended member of the family in executing a customized home care plan based on respect, companionship and encouragement.
Senior Housing Advising
When seniors or their loved ones begin to feel that they require more support than in-home care and assistance with basic ADLs, it may be time to consider transitioning to an assisted living community.
This is an emotional decision for everyone involved, and our goal at Amada Senior Care in Cleveland is to guide families through the placement process with wisdom, empathy and competence.
For some seniors, an assisted living community, typically offering non-complex medical services, may be a good fit. Others may require a bit more support and may be better served in a nursing home or different type of care community.
The team at Amada Senior Care Cleveland has years of experience with senior care in West Side: Avon, Avon Lake, Bay Village, Berea, Brecksville, Brookpark, Broadview Heights, Cleveland, Columbia Station, Lakewood, North Ridgeville, Sheffield Lake, North Olmsted, Olmsted Falls, Parma, Rocky River, Strongsville, and Westlake; and East Side: Aurora, Bainbridge, Beachwood, Bedford, Chagrin Falls, Chardon, Cleveland Heights, Euclid, Gates Mills, Hudson, Independence, Mayfield Heights, and Mentor. As a result, we have deep knowledge of all local care communities and can make sure our clients find the ideal placement to suit their care needs, locations, lifestyles, and budgets.
We also rely on our extensive experience to help our clients make full use of all benefits available to them, including veterans’ benefits and Long-Term Care Insurance benefits. The costs of assisted living may intimidate many families, but we can help them make financial decisions with confidence. To further ease cost concerns, the Amada Cleveland team is pleased to offer its placement services free of charge.
When in-home care is no longer ideal for our clients, we are honored to guide them through this next phase. Our specialty is referring seniors to the right community or placement for them, which may include:
- Assisted living communities
- Large and small communities
- Independent living communities
- Board and care homes
- Adult family homes
- Senior care homes
- Skilled nursing facilities
- Alzheimer/dementia communities
Many of our veterans, their spouses and their families may not be aware of their potential eligibility for financial assistance from the government. At Amada Senior Care Cleveland, we are dedicated to helping individuals eligible for VA Aid and Attendance benefits and other forms of financial support take full advantage of these resources.
