Jennifer Novy, owner of Amada Senior Care NorthShore, has dedicated her professional and personal life to caring for seniors. A life-long Chicagoan, she uses her extensive senior care experience to help her neighbors in Lake Forest, Libertyville, Lincolnwood, Winnetka, Skokie, Deerfield, Highland Park, Northbrook, Glenview, Park Ridge, Wilmette, Glencoe and Evanston, Elmhurst, Downers Grove, Hinsdale and Western Springs live independently in their own homes and maintain a high quality of life.
Jenny says, “I have a master’s in gerontology as well as a master’s in therapeutic recreation, and I’ve been working with seniors across Illinois for the past 25 years. I feel very fortunate that older adults have always been a part of my life: I even knew my great-grandparents and my great-aunts. Most importantly, both of my grandparents on my mother’s side and on my father’s side played a huge role in my life. In fact, my grandma and grandpa lived just down the street — literally, six doors down from me — and I was fortunate to help care for them when they were coming to the ends of their lives.
“More recently, we lost my father-in-law and my mother-in-law, both to cancer. They were so young, and we were not ready. But we were able to bring hospice caregivers into their home, and they made such a difference in the care both Mom and Dad received. They worked with us to provide comfort, and they made Mom and Dad’s lives better. They made our lives better, too.”
Now, Jenny and her team at Amada NorthShore work hard to provide the same level of compassion in-home care services for other seniors and their families. As Jenny says, “I really have a passion for working with seniors, and I want to make a difference in your life — for you and your loved ones.”
Practical and Compassionate In-Home Senior Care
Amada caregivers are trained to provide seniors assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), but Amada NorthShore’s home-care aides do so much more than just help seniors with dressing, bathing, running errands, and the like. Our trained in-home care aides also help NorthShore seniors maintain their independence and continue doing what they’ve done their whole lives, from attending social gatherings to engaging in beloved hobbies. When home ceases to be the best option for a senior, Jenny and the Amada NorthShore team will help families find the perfect place to meet all of their loved one’s needs.
At Amada NorthShore, we know that the best home health and senior care is always a family endeavor. That’s why we go out of our way to treat each one of our adults and senior clients and their loved ones like a member of our own family.
