Barbie Kolb, Christopher Kerr and Timothy Swearengin, owners of Amada Senior Care Springfield, are passionate about enriching the lives of seniors by providing them with personalized, in-home senior care along with guidance as they navigate the unfamiliar territory of senior care.

“My passion in caring for seniors began with my sweet grandma. After experiencing a fall, she was no longer able to be independent. It was a stressful time as we made decisions for her care with little experience or guidance.

Through that situation, I realized the value of having someone walk through the difficult times with families. Having an experienced caregiver to advocate and care for grandma in our absence was a blessing.

Amada Helps Veterans Fund Care

Non-medical caregiving for U.S. veterans includes a range of supportive services that enhance their daily lives and overall well-being. This can involve assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as meal preparation, housekeeping, transportation to appointments, and companionship to combat loneliness. Caregivers can also provide emotional support, help with managing schedules, and offer respite care for family members. Additionally, they may assist with errands, mobility support, and engaging veterans in social and recreational activities to promote a sense of community and purpose. These services ensure that veterans maintain their independence while receiving the care and attention they deserve.

“We are so grateful to Amada for the exceptional care they are providing our loved one. They are very responsive if we have a specific need or questions, their communication with our family is wonderful. They have a portal for updates, payment and billing records, caregiver’s communication, (they even add pictures of activities the do with them) and scheduling which gives us peace of mind. If you are looking for someone who treats your loved one like family, I cannot recommend them enough.”

I really can’t say enough good things about Amada! We currently use them for 3 different family members, all with different issues, and have been so happy with the care they’ve shown. They’ve been quick to respond to increased needs (after a hospitalization, for example) and have worked hard to find the perfect match for our family. Our main caregiver has literally become part of our family. The staff at the Amada office is as caring as the caregivers! Two family members are pretty easy but one is more difficult and Amber and Melissa have worked tirelessly to help her adjust to 24 hour care in her home. Barbie has helped with long term care insurance approval, and Kathy has shown lots of patience when I’ve messed up bills. I really can’t express how much help and peace of mind Amada has given our family.

A BIG “Thank you!” to Amada Senior Care and their team for the excellent way they cared for my dad, Jim. He received excellent care and enjoyed the talks, card games, dominoes, and attention. A special shout out to Amber who helped me on many occasions get dad into rehab on several occasions and provided constant updates. Having them around was a blessing for him and for my brother and I. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I’ve partnered with Amada in my role as a hospice/home health representative. We rely on their services when our patients require additional support at home. Their team is consistently friendly, prompt, and willing to go above and beyond. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Ask for Cassie – she is amazing. :)

×

Amada is a great community that employs wonderful caregivers to their customers. Cassie in particular has been an absolute delight to work with, and I love that they are constantly involved with local causes like the Alzheimer’s Association. Check them out if you are looking for the help around!

×

Amada sends caregivers to assist my parents. I could not be more pleased with their level of care and manner in which they provide it. They are courteous and pleasant while still doing their job… which is making sure my parents are safe and helped with doing things that used to be second nature for them. They also know when to excuse themselves when family conversations are taking place. I could go on, but my point is that I highly recommend Amada for anyone that needs home healthcare for their loved ones.

×

Amada’s staff truly care about the well being of their clients and families. Using a service like this never comes from a super happy place, but they do their best to make things as pleasant as possible.

×

When my family decided to bring my grandpa home, we were worried about making sure he received the best care possible. Cassie at Amada made the entire process seamless and stress-free. We feel so relieved knowing that my grandpa is receiving excellent care through Amada because of Cassie’s support. Highly recommend!

Amada Senior care is wonderful! Their focus is on assisting seniors who are committed to aging in place ( in their own homes).

Cassie, Barbie and their whole team have been exceptional to work with. Finding a place that cares about your family as much as you do is rare. Amada is one of those places.

Amada provided excellent care. The staff was very professional, thoughtful and helpful in responding to our needs. I highly recommend Amada for anyone who needs care in their home. Our care provider was considerate and a hard worker. She helped with grocery shopping and prepared delicious meals. She also assisted around the house while being a caregiver. She was always prompt and a pleasure to work with. I am grateful for the outstanding care Amada provided.

I want to thank everyone at Amada for helping me take care of my father when his health suddenly took a turn for the worse. In particular, I really appreciate the help Jody provided during his move. Their responsiveness and flexibility during a very uncertain time gave me peace of mind when I could not be with my father. I highly recommend Amada!

×

I work in Hospice. Anytime Cassie has sent her team or we have worked side-by-side for a patient, her team has always gone above and beyond. I work with the only five star Hospice in Missouri, and we only want to work with the best. If I was asked to use Cassie at Amada, I’d say yes.

×

Amada Senior Care has provided professional, compassionate and reliable care. The customer service is excellent and very timely. The Amada caregivers truly have a heart for providing care to the aging population and have demonstrated reliability and compassion in all that they do. Amada has gone above and beyond many times to provide necessary training for their staff, provide education and support to family members and very consistent follow through. I strongly recommend Amada Senior Care for caregiving needs.

We are new to using Amada Home Health Care. They have been very knowledgeable and helpful with long term insurance and knowing what assistance is needed with our elderly family member. Since they have begun visiting her, she has already shown signs of physical improvement and happiness over the attention her caregiver shows. We are very grateful for their assistance, and feel like we can focus more on our relationship with our family member.

×

Amada Senior care has been wonderful. Their caregivers are kind and knowledgeable. They are willing to help in any way needed and we could not be more pleased. Mom has had excellent care by their caregivers.

×

We got a referral from a local Physical Therapy Physician to Senior Nail Care. My wife’s nail were very painful. Molly was excellent with my wife. The service was quick and painless. With nail care like this not covered by insurance anymore, the cost was very reasonable. We will be back.

×

We had a wonderful experience with Amada! When we were in need of an in home caregiver, the owner Barbie and the Client Care Manager, Amber met with us the day I called and answered all of our questions. They were both very nice and I immediately felt comfortable with them. The caregiver, Samantha was a perfect fit and we really appreciate her! She is kind and caring and very knowledgeable with providing the type of care we needed. We couldn’t ask for any better care.

×

They’ve been missing their shifts with a beloved man in his late 80s who has suddenly lost his ability to walk, and care for himself, and they have not been showing up, or leaving half way through. I expect a home care agency for a patient who cannot care for himself in anyway to make sure if one person cannot come in, or needs a day off, they have someone to fill in, and the agency makes sure about it! Because he does not use phones due to bad heating and just needs it to be taken care of. He’s worked hard all his life to take care of his loved ones. We’ll have to find another who will not leave him without care!

×

This company came into our home professing Christian values in how they care for the elderly. They have not shown up to scheduled shifts 4 days in a row and did not send any substitute. This isn’t the first time they’ve not shown up for shifts and not sent a replacement. However, this time was crucial. We are out of town and cannot pick up the care for our elderly family member, we told Amada we would be out of town, and they completely abandoned our family member. This family member’s health took a decline during our trip because of this negligence. When we called to ask Amada what the deal was about abandoning our family member they were rude and sarcastic. These are not the Christian values I expected. Their promises were a farce. I am saddened and disappointed with their service and their attitude.

×

I can never adequately express my gratitude for what a blessing Amada Senior Care was to my family. They cared for my father in law with care and compassion around the clock. In addition to caring for him they were of great emotional and spiritual support to all of us. In a time when it is so hard to find employees Amada has put together a team of outstanding individuals. Thank you Amada!

×

Barbie and Lynette always go above and beyond to provide quality care. They provide care themselves, they meet with family at all kinds of hours and they try to hire only those with true servants hearts. Great company!!

×

We needed short term overnight care for my father-in-law and Barbie was able to provide caregivers the following night after we contacted her. Melissa and Maggie were respectful, kind, and very helpful. Barbie was caring, flexible, and excellent to work with. I would highly recommend Amada Senior Care and we appreciate the assistance provided to get through that period of time!

×

Learning about Amada Senior Care has been a true blessing to our family. My father has Alzheimer’s and my mother is disabled. The amount of time that our family was having to spend taking care of my parents was overwhelming. When I first spoke with Barbie about our situation, she was immediately at our home helping us with a plan of action. Not only did she provide helpful information about the company, but she also provided us with information about who to talk to regarding legal protection against probate and nursing home expenses along with a solid estate plan. Amada has truly relieved our family of a lot of the stress, frustration, sadness, and the unknown. I highly recommend Amada and have appreciated their passion of caring for seniors. We now have a wonderful care taker (Marlene Nicely) who is a perfect match for my parents. Thank you, Amada!!!

×

I coordinate the care for my 90 year old neighbor, and we started with a service other than Amada. With the other company, it was a revolving door of caregivers, and the situation was not great. Since coming to Amada, we have had a steady care giver who my neighbor is very comfortable with. Maria (our care giver) is a genuinely caring person and does an excellent job of keeping us in the loop about things going on in the home. I also like that the local owner of Amada is very involved in the company. Highly recommend!

×

I am a caretaker for my mom who lives with us. We hired Amada Senior Care to come to our home so my husband and I could get away for a long weekend. Their employee was wonderful. Mom really liked her and felt comfortable with her. We definitely would do this again.

×

I love Amada! I haven’t seen this kind of devotion to clients from any other homecare agency in SW Missouri. They choose caregivers and clients carefully and work hard to match clients with the best caregiver fit. They don’t leave clients hanging either – there is no such thing as a call saying they can’t find anyone to send. They are truly a cut above the rest!

Becoming an Amada caregiver is a deeply rewarding experience, filled with moments of genuine connection and compassion. It offers the opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life, whether by providing companionship, assisting with daily tasks, or simply offering a comforting presence. The role fosters patience, empathy, and a profound appreciation for the strength and resilience of others. Seeing the impact of your kindness and care firsthand brings a unique sense of fulfillment, turning everyday moments into meaningful acts of service and love.

Barbie Kolb, Christopher Kerr and Timothy Swearengin, owners of Amada Senior Care Springfield, are passionate about enriching the lives of seniors by providing them with personalized, in-home senior care along with guidance as they navigate the unfamiliar territory of senior care.

“My passion in caring for seniors began with my sweet grandma. After experiencing a fall, she was no longer able to be independent. It was a stressful time as we made decisions for her care with little experience or guidance.

Through that situation, I realized the value of having someone walk through the difficult times with families. Having an experienced caregiver to advocate and care for grandma in our absence was a blessing.

It is my great honor being called to help families navigate this unfamiliar territory and provide the best care possible for their loved one.”

Barbie, Tim and Chris share a passion for advocating for seniors. Each one went through senior care experiences in their own families, and those experiences reaffirmed their commitment to providing the highest quality of in-home senior care, as well as peace of mind for their families. Amada Springfield’s trained caregivers provide compassionate care for seniors living in Aurora, Bolivar, Branson, Marshfield, Monett, Mt. Vernon, Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Rogersville, Springfield, Willard, and beyond.

“As a physician for more than 20 years, I am a daily witness to the disruption that disability and disease has on patients and their families,” says Chris, an Anesthesiologist. “I do my best to offer comfort and reassurance to patients as they face an uncertain diagnosis, frightening prognosis or a prolonged recovery after surgery. Outside the walls of the healthcare system, there is a tremendous need for home care agencies to help our seniors here in Southwest Missouri.

“Caring for the most vulnerable in their time of need has been a true calling and privilege,” Chris adds. “Amada Springfield allows me the honor to continue offering comfort and reassurance to vulnerable seniors in a safe and familiar environment, their own homes.”

Chris, Barbie and Tim are committed to treating seniors with the same respect and compassion as they do their own families, because they are part of the Amada family.

Says Tim: “I, like most, have witnessed the struggle of those who require long-term care assistance. In my own family, due to accidents, Alzheimer’s, or simply advanced age, those closest to me are living with this struggle—uncertain of what services are available, what they can afford, and who to turn to during this vulnerable time, they do what they can.

“I chose a career in medicine, because I wanted to care for and comfort people through the most vulnerable and frightening experiences of their lives,” Tim notes. “What I’ve come to realize is the tremendous need for that same care after these events. Amada is my opportunity and privilege to provide continued compassion for the rest of their lives.”

Caring Companions In-Home Senior Care

Amada Springfield in-home senior care aides do whatever they can to help seniors feel more comfortable and independent in their own homes; while helping out with things like light housekeeping, meal preparation and medication reminders, and other of the many activities of daily living our home care providers do part-time or full-time, their passion is to provide compassionate companionship. This means that in addition to helping with activities of daily living, Amada Springfield’s trained caregivers seek out meaningful ways to enrich clients’ lives on a daily basis. The expert care team at Amada Springfield also are ready, willing and able to lend a helping hand to address the special needs of families in need of respite careadults with disabilities who could benefit from support at home and those managing the progressive symptoms of ALS and other neurological disorders, helping to provide the best quality of life possible.
