A Helping Hand for Seniors
Entrepreneur US
|Startups - Fall 2025
Do you love helping others in your community? Amada Senior Care could be the right franchise for you-and it's growing fast.
Amada Senior Care has an unusual origin story. It begins with NFL player Tafa Jefferson, who signed with the Chicago Bears in 1997 but suffered career-ending injuries a year later. He began talking with his college football teammate Chad Fotheringham, and the two went into business together—deciding to create Amada because Jefferson’s mom used to work in senior care, and he saw opportunity there.
