Family-owned and answering phones around the clock: that’s Amada Senior Care Chicago, based at 1030 W North Ave Suite 402 in the city’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. The service list covers home care, hospice care, memory care, and respite care, and Ascension Saint Joseph – Chicago hospital sits under two miles away.

Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants handle the clinical side, backed by 24-hour staffing availability. Daily support covers the basics, personal hygiene, meal preparation, dressing, mobility, but extends further into post-surgical recovery, chronic condition management, specialized dementia care, rehabilitation services, and medication management paired with medical alert services. Caregiver matching adds a layer most agencies skip, pairing clients with caregivers chosen for fit rather than availability alone.

Long-Term Care Insurance Assistance and Senior Housing Advising give families a way to navigate paperwork and placement decisions without doing it alone, and both hourly and live-in arrangements are available depending on what a family actually needs.

A+ certification from the Home Care Standards Bureau backs the agency’s standing, and the office itself scores a 93 on Walk Score, though that number describes Lincoln Park more than the actual care, which happens in clients’ homes throughout the area.

Amada Senior Care Chicago works for families who want a family-run agency covering everything from daily hands-on support to dementia-specific and hospice-level care, with help navigating the insurance and placement side along the way.

Illinois Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Illinois) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
