Eric vanGoethem, Owner of Amada Senior Care Dallas, has made it his mission to help seniors live safely and comfortably for 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.
Chief Operating Officer Sabrina vanGoethem’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 stories of feeling fulfilled by her work and witnessing her passion for being a caregiver, Sabrina developed her own enthusiasm for providing in-home senior care. Says Sabrina, “I just loved hearing her stories from her clients—they have experienced much change in their lives and it was fascinating to listen.”
