Eric vanGoethem, owner of Amada Senior Care Dallas, has made it his mission to help seniors live safer and more enjoyable lives as long as they can in the comfort of their own homes. Eric deeply empathizes with families who have experienced the vulnerability and uncertainty that comes seeing a loved one battle a disease. He watched his father quickly deteriorate from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease—a rare, degenerative, prion disease that attacks the brain and is always fatal. Says Eric, "I watched my mom become my dad's caregiver and saw the toll that it took on her physically and emotionally while trying to still be the loving, supporting wife that she had been over nearly 40 years—it drained her for years to come. Had we known and understood the benefits of in-home caregivers at the time, I know we would have navigated that difficult time of transition more smoothly."Chief Operating Officer Sabrina Arredondo's own family experiences sparked her interest in making a difference in seniors' lives through Amada Dallas. She is inspired by her mother, who has been working as a caregiver for years in San Antonio. Hearing her mother's many stories of feeling fulfilled by her work and witnessing her passion for being a caregiver, Sabrina developed her own enthusiasm for providing in-home care to seniors. Says Sabrina, "I just loved hearing her stories from her clients—they have experienced so much change in their lives and it was fascinating to listen."Amada Senior Care Dallas caregivers always strive to exceed clients' expectations, which means that meal preparation, cleaning, and other daily tasks are only a small part of what they do. Our goal at Amada Central Dallas is to enrich each client's life by creating positive experiences whenever possible. We understand that the transition from total independence to in-home care can be fraught with emotions for seniors, as well as for their loved ones. We are dedicated to easing this transition with patience and compassion.
