Amada Senior Care Roxbury, NJ

We tried Amada Senior Care Roxbury, but it didn't work out. The way they introduced themselves, their company, and their nursing evaluation was all good. The only drawback I found was that there wasn't an introduction for the aide to meet my parents. It was a short period of time, but my parents never really felt comfortable with the person because it was kind of like they walked in and started working as opposed to having a meet-and-greet kind of thing. However, the staff explained that they don't do that. Part of the problem, too, is the generation my parents are in. They weren't really accepting of an outside person, so it was hard for them to be comfortable with the person. It caused a lot of stress for them, so it really didn't pan out the way I was hoping it would. There wasn't enough time to develop any kind of working relationship with them. The caregiver provided no service to my mom, but that was because my mother went to bed. The caregiver was more of a companion, and no other services were provided to them.

We are doing seven days a week with Amada Senior Care Roxbury, NJ. The owner was here this morning to check everything out. They also came out to the hospital to meet us before we made a decision. They've been efficient all the way through. I have two caregivers, one person on the weekend and one person during the week, and they're both excellent. They're very caring. They pitch in where they're needed, and I don't even have to ask, so it has been a very good experience. When someone is very, very ill, you need that kind of support. Because my spouse is incontinent, they make sure he is clean. They shave him, and they make sure his hair is cut. They make sure he is comfortable with the bed settings, and they make sure his skin is good. He has a very severe foot problem, so they make sure the pillows are right. They provide general care for him all around.
