20 Best Cdpap Programs In Mesa, AZ (2022 Updated)

I took the 4 week CNA program during the summer and am now certified and working in a hospital. The class was incredibly informative and prepared you tremendously for the exams. I went into my exams incredibly confident and was helped throughout the program with any questions I had. While the program itself was amazing, there were several instances that made getting my certification from the program miserable. My instructor was the sweetest woman but spent most of the time questioning her own knowledge on the topics she was teaching. We had another instructor come in to assist our class and she spent a lot of time talking down to the students for messing up simple steps on topics we were just taught for the first time minutes prior. One student had a breakdown due to being constantly ridiculed by this instructor (management was told and nothing changed) most students avoided her like the plague. The two instructors who taught my class would then bicker with each other on what was correct in front of the entire class, it was extremely unprofessional. I would recommend this program, I just hope they have talked to their team and discuss how to handle conflicts better.Hailey Carpenter

I completed my CNA program with AMTI & would definitely recommend it to anyone that's willing to commit to a few weeks of hard work. The program is fast paced but if you study & stick with it, you will succeed. It definitely feels like the course is geared towards those wanting to go into hospice, long term care, etc. but I always knew I would be going the acute route after graduation – I am now working as a nursing assistant in the ICU at a hospital here in the valley. I don't know what these reviews talking about having their money stolen are all about, it's made very clear from the beginning that if you cannot keep your grades up & be there for lectures/instruction, you will not receive a refund. My only comment for improvement is that all the instructors get on the same page, we left a lot of classes confused because one instructor would tell us one thing & another would tell us otherwise. Overall I'm thankful for AMTI!Poppy Busby

I am so happy I went with my gut & decided to attend AMTI. I just finished my CNA weekend 7 week program & passed my state boards on the first try. I did experience some uncertainty when speaking with student services, I had some questions that I didn't feel were answered properly. I even went down to the campus for more information & I didn't leave confident that this was the right school to choose. I took a risk & went with it anyways. The instructors were absolutely wonderful. Barb E. was my skills instructor & you can tell how much passion she has for nursing and for training future CNA's and nurses. These teachers truly give you so many resources and provide you with every thing you need to pass the program and pass your state boards. I highly recommend taking your CNA training here. I enjoyed every moment of it & I am a tad sad I wont be coming back next weekend. Loved this experience.SB

Amada has been the biggest blessing for my elderly parents. Kimberly and her entire staff have shown such compassion for what our family is going through and has gone above and beyond getting the right help, adjusting hours and offering so much support and referrals for all their needs now and in the future. Lori Jones has been a consistent care giver since my mom first started with Amada and my mother and father have been very happy having her in their home and have shared how amazing she has been with them. As their needs have changed and more people have to come to help they have been happy with everyone which is saying a lot! Amada employees are truly heaven sent angels and anyone would be honored to get the gift of having them care for your family!Christa Tompkins

Just started working for this company and all I can say is this is the best company I’ve ever worked for this company is amazing they really care about their clients and they also care about the caregivers working for them. I am truly blessed to be working for this company really great company to work for if you’re looking for a job in this field. Amada It’s such a special place and a special community of people that love what they doAmy Hernandez

Amada Senior Care is great! They have provided very skilled and caring caregivers for my husband, allowing me to get away from home for awhile (like for Bible Study). These caregivers understand the different needs of a dementia client. Amada is quick to respond when I need to change schedules or have a caregiver for a special time when I need to be away. Thank you to all the people serving our family needs.Karren Griess

I live in California, trying my best to manage my Mother’s health care in Phoenix. After being in the hospital, rehab and then assisted living, she wanted to go home. For several months I was flying to Phoenix, attempting to manage her elder care. Finally, I connected with Endeavor Senior In-Home Care. What A relief, I feel that I finally found a professional agency with a sincere desire to take care of my mother’s health, safety & living needs !! The whole team at Endeavor has been professional and quick to respond to our needs. Stephanie took the lead, warm with my mother and attentive to my direction and guidance. My mother can be difficult with her dementia, but the caregivers are professional and patient with her. As issues arise with my mother, Steve is there to manage the situation. I feel the agency is organized and maintains a professional understanding on how to take care of the elderly and keeping them safe. I am grateful they are there for my mother’s well being and our families peace of mind. Martha W, CA.Martha Weiner

I just signed a service agreement with Endeavor this morning to start service in the near future for 24 hour care for my father. Today my dad soiled himself and I couldn't find anyone to help me (he's a big man). Even our hospice service said they were busy. I called Endeavor as my last resort and Sam and Lilly were here within 30 minutes, more like 20 minutes, with smiles on their faces. I watched them help my dad and they made it look so easy, helped him without causing any distress or discomfort. I watched in awe and it brought tears to my eyes how sweet and calming they were with my father who is typically a very ornery fella. Our service contract hasn't even started yet!!! Amazing work girls. Simply amazing.Teresa Loumena

The Endeavor team has been nothing short of amazing. Although I have not referred any of my patients to them *yet* as the need has yet to present itself during my short time here with United Hospice, they are my go-to agency. I have heard of their wonderful reputation by word-of-mouth throughout the Valley. Over the past few months, I have developed a wonderful working relationship with Rami, a Home Care Consultant here in the East Valley. Rami has been quick to provide information, resources, and assistance whenever needed! I value my relationship with Rami and her team and look forward to working more closely with them in the future!P

I came here to do Caregiving,Article 9, CPR, And Food Handling. They were so helpful and the classes were strict, very quite environment for studying.The lectures were there to help incase of understanding and online classes were offered incase you miss a day. I highly recommend as am talking from experience and they refer you to the best companies for Jobs if you want.God bless you and May he expand your school. Regard grateful Alumni🙏🏼Abijah Nduati

I needed to obtain a CPR and First Aid certificate to acquire employment. Excell Caregiver Training made my experience convenient and easy. They were polite, professional, while still practicing social distancing during COVID. They were very helpful and made sure that I knew everything about First Aid as well as CPR. I was able to practice in the office with a trained professional. Thank You Excel Caregiver Training!#### PreTTyBITCH###

My experience was for the caregiving course, online only. The information on the online modules and the tests could be organized in a better way. The instructors could also improve in how they explain the right test answers to their students. On a positive note, the instructors are willing to meet their students' needs.Maria Vălean

Musfiqur Amar Rahman helped my in laws get started with the program. Although they changed their minds, great customer service! A very amicable man, and very transparent with all the details.Raimondo Maria Graziano Papadouris

Musfiqur Amar Rahman was Excellent representation of this company. He was extremely informative and made sure I comprehend what was being referred to me. I appreciate his service. Thank youKevin “ChaseN Magikk Bands” Ramlall

I must say that Amar was absolutely great. He made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. I would recommend him 100%. Great experience.Lorena De La Cruz

I used Preferred Care at Home East Valley for my aging mom in Mesa AZ from April 2019 – January 2020 (10 months). My mom is 90 years old, has limited vision, and needed extra support each day. Our caregivers provided one-on-one care for 9 hours a day. The caregivers would make coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, take my mom walking in the neighborhood, and take her up to her community gym to participate in some exercise. The caregivers would also perform lite house-work to ensure the cleanliness and safety of everyone in the home. I can’t say enough good things about Preferred Care at Home East Valley and the owner Michelle Krzeminski. Michelle has a fantastic office staff, and reliable, caring, and skillful employees that supported my mom. Over the 10 months of employment, I only had 2 minor administrative issues, and those were quickly and professionally resolved within 24 hours. If a particular caregiver wasn’t a good fit for my mom, Preferred Care at Home East Valley was quick to adjust and provide another caregiver. On the occasion where a caregiver called in sick, Preferred Care at Home East Valley called me to let me know, and provided a secondary caregiver as quickly as possible. This extra care and attention allowed my mom to stay in her own home longer than any of us expected, and my mom was happy throughout the process knowing that everyone was supporting her in her own environment. By comparison, I had used another in-home caregiver company from September 2018 through March 2019 (6 months), and it was a horrible, time-consuming experience. The care was sub-par, the administrative staff was unresponsive to several on-going billing and staffing issues. I spent an enormous amount of time managing this company, and would never recommend them to anyone. But, if you are looking for heart-felt, caring, professional, responsive, fantastic care for a family member, my recommendation is Preferred Care at Home East Valley.Jeannie Zehring

Preferred Care at Home of Phoenix/East Valley was referred to me by a friend when my Mom and Dad suddenly needed help at home as each of them went through various health related episodes. Michelle visited with my Mom and Dad and the family the same day I called and had someone there in less than 12 hours. Michelle was amazing with my folks during an extremely difficult time. The caregivers were equally amazing at taking care of them off and on over the following year as needed. Their hospital stays were reduced because we knew PCH was there to help at home. This was always a good thing. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for the wonderful people at PCH and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking quality care at home for your loved ones.Jeff Schiel

Beware, run don’t walk away from them. My mother was assaulted by a home health aide this Summer. After being given the run around, we filed a complaint with them and their alleged investigation concluded that it’s my mother’s word against the lies of the aide. I regret not reporting this to police. Another aide told my mother that “she’s old and should just sit down and be quiet.” A non-English speaking aide was sent to us once, and we had to turn her away as we did not speak her language. Mind you, English is our language. Left message for agency and no one got back to us. We went two days without an aide. Some aides are late, by up to an hour, and still leaves without putting in their full amount of work hours for the day. Administrative staff (coordinators) are curt and often don’t return calls. This is bad business.web of gold

Being a f Harbor Care client has been a great experience. Everyone who works there has been so wonderful, helpful, and compassionate. Alexis, HR Manager runs an excellent department. They take care of all the needs of their patients and always make sure that the proper care is taken to ensure the best interest of their clients. They cater to all needs necessary. I would recommend Harbor Care agency to anyone who is in need of a caregiver. I fully trust their agency in taking care of my loved ones.Elizabeth Alba

I was looking for a long-term agency to provide home health aide for my mother in-law thank God I found Harbor Care. Staff are fabulous, professional, competent and always follow up on the case never too busy to listen and help. Harbor Care Home Health Aides are very compassionate, kind, patience, good attendance and caring. They are well trained. I am highly recommending Harbor Care agency to any family who need an agency Home care to provide care to their love one.Cienette Ulysse

While I have only been working for your company for a short time, I would say your answering service needs work. I just tried calling a few minutes ago to speak to the coordinator of my patient and was given a hard time even though I gave the extension for the person whom I wanted to speak too. I also called there to let my coordinator know I was taking a day off. I was never transferred over to speak to the coordinator to let him know and your answering representative kept answering the phone even after I put in my extintion. However I did leave a message but my coordinator never received it. Instead of your answering service asking so many questions as to what it's in regards too or what my phone number is I feel that unless I am asking person on the other line to take a message, they have no business asking me so many questions when I wanted to speak to the coordinator directly about a patient.Laila Muhammad

Musfiqur Amar Rahman was extremely helpful in assisting me in setting up home health care for my sister. He is always available by phone and immediately responds to my calls. He is both knowledgeable and patient. Please consider him for accolades. He is so qualified because of his friendly demeanor. I remain a very happy and satisfied customer.Marcia Coogan

I am so glad I reached out to this company. I was so confused on how, where or even when to get started on my parents long term home care. Amar was helpful and put my mind and nerves at ease. He took care of every single thing from the beginning. He was also knowledgeable of the plans and which one I should choose for better care. Thank youNatalie Edwards

I have been on a leave of absence for two years caring for Mum from my part time job. (Retired in 2018) Heard of Freedom Care recently and the staff could not have been more helpful in setting us up in the program. They do most of the paper work, do you really need more stress? They walk you through the process. I think it is an excellent program and would recommend it. Mum is home with us, that is a blessing. Thank you Freedom Care.Marc Petrillo

Freedom Care has relieved an enormous fount of anxiety as to my care and treatment as an elder person in my community by providing a caregiver who is truly committed to my health and welfare. My caseworker at Aetna also has demonstrated an ability to provide additional assistance in health related issues outside the home. I've not enjoyed this degree of help prior to my experience with Freedom Care!Valerie Zeller

You can never get anyone on the phone. Their app doesn’t work properly .I I work crazy hours for my consumer and they had the nerve to not pay me. I work for my consumer not Freedomcare. Not fair Medicaid paid you.You need to pay me. I will not recommend anyone to use this companyTyais

FreedomCare has its pros and cons. I love the fact that I’m able to care for my mom but there are other companies that offer the same services with higher pay. I have been with the company a little over a month now and am still trying to setup direct deposit although I sent all the proper information. I was also offered classes at intake so I can learn how to better care for my patients and every time I inquire about the classes I get a run around or simply no response. I’ve tried reaching my assigned coordinator but am always unsuccessful. Schedule change is a hassle being that we can never get someone on the phone to assist. The staff and polite but not very helpful. Overall freedomcare provides opportunities they help you care for a loved one and refer other clients who are in need of care.Lydia Aybar

By far THE WORSE CDPAP PROGRAM EVER! As a patient of Freedomcare they hard extremely hard to get in contact with when I need to express my concerns and needs. My home health aide couldn’t get the help she needed with her timesheets, YES I SAID TIMESHEET(s) not one but many of them that Freedomcare refused to help with which resulted in missed paychecks. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON FREEDOMCARE!Courtney Santiago

I've had a great experience with freedom care thus far, they made it easy to join the freedom care team and has allow me to take care of both my Mother and Mother-Inlaw. Whenever I have a question or need some help a Coordinator is always available.Cory Hardy

I recently started with FreedomCare being the paid caregiver for my mom. I've been doing the work all along so already had a good amount of knowledge on caregiving. I contacted them many months ago while I was considering the CDPAS program and the team was very helpful and responsive. When I decided to come on board they were very patient and supportive every step of the way. Really glad we joined FreedomCare. My only regret is not coming on board sooner. Of course there is an enrollment process in the beginning but they really help you through it..not complicated at all. Recommended!E H

Use a different company. Freedom care has coordinators that get paid without doing their job. Your paycheck is always missing days and no one cares. You work a whole week. Clock in and out. Their system doesn’t register half of them and you don’t get paid until the following week. Where you now have to send a timesheet with the days missing , coordinators , supervisors don’t do anything. I’m searching for a different company. If you want to get paid , this is not the one for you.Liz Montanez

Freedom care has been a life saver. They have been right there and always ready to assist if we had a problem with paperwork or a n application. Everyone has been wonderful so far it is quite a lengthy process but worth it. You won't get rich but it helps so I can stay home to take care of my loved one so I don't have to go back out into this risky health care world right now. Freedom care has been great so far.lucille kimble

Usually when have to work with agencies regarding health care and assistance it is not a pleasant prospect. Nothing could be further from the truth with DG. They have been professional, helpful, knowledgeable and kind. Superlatives do not do justice to the service and assistance they have provided. Always available, quick to return inquiries or information when needed. Certainly have made the transition to the extended care my mother needs much smoother and simpler. Grateful for the helpful team at DGMichael Gutierrez

I have been a devoted guardian for over a year now and this is the best place to work! Staff is so genuine and welcoming. when I first started out I didn’t know much, but they actually train their employees to do their best and are involved with helping you grow as a caregiver. Their clients are some of the sweetest people I have ever met and I enjoy caring for them. Great job Devoted Guardians, you help your employees shine and I love being part of the team.C J

Devoted Guardians seems to be better than the other agencies we’ve used. Their employee Ricardo couldn’t be more appreciated. He goes above and beyond and has always helped me and my family with whatever health care needs we have, the attention to detail provided by Ricardo was impressive and his customer service skills are excellent. He should be receiving 10 stars instead of 5. OUTSTANDING. Thanks again Ricardo for all your hard work.lisa wong

I went to get tested after being exposed and showing symptoms of covid. I was tested 7 days ago and still have not gotten my test results. I also went to be tested with 2 other members of my family who also have not gotten their results. Every time I reach out to this company whoever controls the WhatsApp messaging service seems to not care at all about me needing to know what my results are for my job and brushes me off. I’ve tried reaching out to the lab myself and can’t get any answers there either. At this point I am ready to go to an overcrowded urgent care to be tested. I will never go here again and will never recommend to anyone.Mulazia Woods

My 89 year old mother is a recent client of Rockaway Home Care. I wanted to commend your agency for their wonderful employees. Everyone that I’ve spoken with has been courteous and efficient.A high level of professionalism has been manifest and people must really like and value their positions. I’d particularly like to compliment Henrico , our coordinator. It’s a pleasure to deal with him. He’s smart, caring, responsive and has excellent communication skills.He really “ gets it!” Thank you to all of you. Keep up the good work!susan young

I love the fact that we have different locations in the state, we have people that speak different languages, The office has a lot of professional people working for everyone! I feel great about Rockaway Home Care is a family to me. I feel satisfied with Rockaway Home Care because is a great place to work on, I feel appreciated and value in this company, We are like family here. I recommend this company to everyone so you can get a great experience either to work or to have services 😉 I FEEL AMAZING! 🙂FPP_ M3SS1

Doves is an amazing company. I love how compassionate they are about their clients. Each client has their own personalized services according to their needs. I have personally seen how some clients regain their indepence at home. It's such a joy to see that. Doves has helped so many people stay at home safely during these times. I would recommend them to anyone. Staff is well trained and also offer additional training. Being able to help our elderly population means the world to me. I wouldn't change my job for anything in the world. Doves has become my family. It's such a pleasure to be part of this company.yasmin soto

Doves is a wonderful company. As a care giver I see how much the office works to keep clients paired with CNA’s that fit them. Doves prides in keeping both clients and employees happy. They’re extremely flexible, understanding, and compassionate. Whether your looking for a job or company to look after your loved one Doves is the way to go. You will be taken care of by an amazing administration who will make sure you are getting exactly what you need and want. With help from doves extension company’s like their cleaning services and medical supply company they are the trifecta of perfect health care.Sav Archer

We have been using Doves Senior Care for over a year now. Everyone in their office has been very kind and helpful. We feel we have gained a family member with our caregiver Yasmin. She is as genuine and compassionate as it gets. She truly cares about what she does and it shows in every way. She is a CNA so she is very knowledgeable with health issues. She is caring and compassionate with my mom. She is always a step ahead of the game and we never have to tell her what to do. We have been very happy with Doves and would recommend their services to anyone needing it.Ivonne Gierwielaniec

Synergy home care is horrible. Ive worked there before (not saying my name) and they don't provide correct training. Theres this girl bri there who doesn't take no responsibility and would rather put the blame on the employees for something that's the company's responsibility to handle. Sharonda doesn't communicate well at all or even listens to anything you have to say. I've had clients that have complained to me about the company many times and are displeased with the office staff. All they are doing is getting rid of employees who notice how poorly they are getting treated and covering everything up by getting new employees just to do it all over again when all they have to do is take the initiative to sit down accept responsibility and do their job so they can actually get real reviews instead of fake ones. I wouldn't recommend anyone to this job and would love to get ahold of someone that's in a hire position then anyone in that office.Psilii

Working at synergy home care has been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. My first day was pretty good for a first day, with in a week I felt like we had all become a little family. My coworkers are so loving and caring, they are always make my day better. I always look forward to working with the clients and caregivers. The clients are so sweet and caring, the caregivers are such hard workers. Mary is my boss, shes like my second mom. Maddie is like my work wife, I've gotten really close to Mia since day 1 so I'd have to say she'd be my favorite. Synergy is a pioneer in the homecare world and I will always be honored to be part of this company.Zion Alderette

Synergy has been great and their caregivers are excellent. They are always on time and extremely caring. This particular office is excellent. Mary has been our contact and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. All of my questions or concerns have always been taken care of immediately and with a smile. She ALWAYS responds and goes above and beyond to make it happen. She is simply amazing. Thank you, thank you Mary so much.Terry Allen

My husband and I decided it was time to leave New York, to finally escape the east coast winters , but primarily to be close to our aging parents, both sets live in Phoenix. They, of course, deny they needed us to relocate after decades in NYC. Even though we have not retired, our priority was to spend more time with them. They are just not as independent as they think they are, and have reached a point where they do need some professional elder care. But who and which agency? After trying several agencies, nothing seemed to be a good fit. Just by chance a neighbor recommended Granny Nannies. What a blessing! The agency is so well run, the caregivers offering many services in a professional , reliable and especially genuinely, caring and loving manner. We are so pleased with the dependability and affordability of Granny Nannies, we can go about our own days, knowing are parents are going to be just fine. Thank you so very much. Elizabeth Jane Scottsdale, AzElizabeth Jane

I contracted Granny Nannies to assist my father who was in the last stages of Hospice care, as I had injured my back the day before and was unable to do everything that was needed. Unfortunately, my father passed that next morning several hours prior to Andrea Thomas' arrival at the house. Though I had contracted for their services and clearly owed them for the contracted period, they waived the administrative fee. I wanted to ensure that Andrea was paid for her day since there was no time to reschedule her. This shows me that they are an honest and compassionate company.Frank

Granny Nannies was superior. I contacted Jeff from there and he was not only able to find my mother a night sitter, but on Christmas Eve. Her name was Catalina and she was the most caring, thoughtful person. Also needed a day sitter, forgot her name but she was awesome as well. Needed someone on Christmas too and Catalina was available. Would give 6 stars if I could. Also- Jeff followed up a few days later to check if I needed their services again. Highly recommended.ctgregula

The Summit at Sunland Springs has been a godsend to both my father and myself. The entire staff welcomed my Dad with open arms. Everyone is kind, caring, attentive and make him feel like he is their top priority. They call him by name and love him as if he were their own father. In addition, the staff strives to maintain a positive relationship with me. I feel I can contact the Director, the Heath Service Director, the Med Techs, Office staff, etc. with any question or concern at any given time and I know they will care and follow through. They in-turn efficiently advise me of any concerns they have. I never worry about Dad's care. The Summit constantly organize fun activities, invite many outsiders to entertain and consistently create a positive atmosphere as they celebrate holidays, birthdays and special occasions with parties and barbecues. Residents' families are most always included. In addition, residents receive a daily schedule of events. Movies are shown in their theater twice daily and the Event Coordinators offer craft classes, puzzles, exercise classes and a variety of activities for those who live there. Several times a month the Summit bus takes residents site seeing or shopping. The facility is kept beautiful and is always spotlessly clean. The food is is good and the dining staff offer a nice variety of meals.LINDA GUY

The Summit is a clean, uplifting and beautifully designed facility with a caring and attentive staff. My mother lived there for nearly 7 months before her passing. I am grateful that she lived her last months in a place that I would choose for myself or any other member of my family. We had confidence that my mom was receiving the appropriate attention and care she needed which took pressure off of me to be there constantly. All of their care is custom built for your individual needs. I found the cost to be very reasonable especially after visiting many facilities that were not near the quality of the Summit. Other positive features that my mother enjoyed: 1) Delicious meals made fresh daily, 2) diverse activities for all levels of ability, 3) a laundry facility on each floor 4) excellent housekeeping service, 5) in-house hair salon 6) daily movies with fresh popcorn in their theatre and 7) near-by shopping and dinning with a terrific Fry's Super grocery store almost walking distance. I am grateful to Summit for my very positive experience during a difficult period of my mom's life and I recommend them to anyone who needs assisted care.Elaine Miner

During an extremely difficult time amidst COVID protocols, a death in the family, and a mother with Dementia, The Summit at Sunland became our pilot boat. Ginger, in sales, spent hours helping me with tours and plans, and information before the move. She guided me through the transfer trauma, and celebrates with me now that my mother is a thriving member of the Summit community. Lori, the outreach director, is dedicated to enhancing each resident’s life by scheduling events, some fun and some necessary, such as facility vaccination clinics. Her work weaves staff and residents together into a close-knit community. Scott, the head of maintenance at the time, hung Mom’s pictures and wall clock. He made sure her studio was 110% perfect. Now as the executive director, Scott is a hands-on leader. He leads with a smile, positive spirits, and even an occasional hula dance. I love spending time at The Summit, but most importantly, my mother is involved and content in her community. It’s the perfect place for her to age gracefully.Carole Warren

Hello, I wanted to share my personal experiences with Bright Horizons at Banner Baywood (BH). I am an admittedly overprotective, overly concerned, 1st time mom and when it came time for my 2 year old to go to childcare, (and BTW there IS a difference in daycare versus childcare and BH is a childcare, MUCH better), I was extremely apprehensive in letting her go just anywhere with just anyone. My husband and I visited/interviewed literally 7 different childcare facilities in our area and researched/called about 15 others. Trust me when I say I interviewed them inside and out and with MANY questions. I had a notebook and all. Please let me tell you….there was something off or not conducive to my desires for my child's childcare amongst each of them….UNTIL I found bright horizons. My daughter has been going to BH at Banner for 2 months. The staff at BH is AMAZING, truly. I had a food sensitivity issue for a bit with my child and they were ON IT being kind, understanding, safe, and efficient. The center director, Michelle, is customer oriented and so down to earth and helpful. She talks to parents and interacts….pretty great! Kristin, the health and safety director, is super calm, kind, and is doing an incredible job helping to keep my daughter and all other littles and staff safe during this trying time of covid….Kristin has been more than fair in working with my family's issues, questions, and schedule. Very genuinely caring customer service and much appreciated great communication. Even when she is busy, she still says hello and calls the kiddos by their names…like, EVERY kid! My daughter and I were almost exclusively together for over a year due to covid and she is shy anyways, so she does NOT like being away from me. Separation anxiety to the max. I'm telling you, her teacher, Ms. Jessene, is AMAZING!!! She has such a calm, caring, considerate personality, my daughter took to her in like 2 days!!! That has NEVER happened before, and not even to this day. My daughter literally loves her! My daughter has such fun at BH, and gets to do a lot of fun, learning activities. For example, Father's Day is coming up, they gave her a white mug to color as a gift for her dad and put tissue paper around it and all in a white bag that she also colored! Come on!! SO GREAT!!!! Please hear me when I tell you I see, hear, and feel how much this BH staff cares for these kids. Also, as an awesome side note, my daughter only said about 6 words and signed around 100 words before attending BH….I was worried for her …..but first of all, the staff knows some basic sign, and they also know how to engage my daughter and help her communicate…..my daughter has been talking a LOT more since attending BH, like 50 plus words in 1 month. Coincidence? Growth Spurt? Yeah, maybe. But research has shown, the staff promotes, and my heart believes, that play based learning, and singing, and reading help kiddos develop! I'm super happy 😄 Okay, so BH is indeed a bit more expensive than a lot of the others places I looked at. But honestly, it is worth it to me and my family. I TRUST them with my only precious little girl. Trust is hard to come by in general, let alone with someone else caring for your kid all day. So many other I integral and wonderful staff. Between the truly caring staff, great communication, fairness in management, how great everyone is with my kiddo, and honestly in addition… the 3 provided meals a day. (Listen, not having to make all these meals and snacks everyday is fabulous! So having BH take care of it is awesome. Many places either don't provide food, or, do, but don't provide dinner.) So, in summary, finally, absolutely 💯% YES I recommend BH at Banner. I have no affiliation with Banner nor anyone at BH other than being a now confident and happy momma bear to my baby who happily attends BH. At the very least, schedule an interview with them! There is so much to love and appreciate about BH at Banner!!! Best wishes!KI Bogs

I really cannot say enough good things about Bright Horizons at Banner Baywood. My son was so happy there, it was amazing to see him smile at the teachers and other care workers. The facilities are so nice and the curriculum is excellent. I loved seeing the pictures and reading about all of his activities throughout the day on their app. It’s truly amazing to see your child enjoy going to day care each day. My son attended from age 18 months to 2 years. The only reason we are leaving Bright Horizons is because my husband took a job out of state and we are moving. I can easily say the hardest thing about leaving AZ will be saying goodbye to Bright Horizons. They have set the bar so high for childcare I truly worry about finding another daycare that is on their same level in our new state.Rebecca Ruddy

We have been taking our kids here for almost 3 years. Both our kids started here at 12 weeks and 6 weeks old. We are extremely picky about who can watch our kids. This place is fantastic. They update us on EVERYTHING. As an Emergency Room Nurse, I want to send my kids somewhere safe. They take safety very seriously. They also have lesson plans starting for the kids while they’re infants. Our kids are now 3 and 2. Our pediatrician is always impressed with how far ahead our kids are. We are so thankful that our kids have a clean, safe, and loving place to be when they can’t be with us during the day. This place actually cares about your kids. They treat you like family. 10/10 I recommend this place to everyone I know.Mattie Smith

My family found themselves quickly in need of care for my mother in-law after she fell and broke her femur. I contacted Mrs. Beagley at Sunland Home Care. She gave me the information we needed to set up a meeting with Sunland to go over hours of care, cost, duties, etc. This made the decision for my family easy and convenient to set up care that covered my mother in-law's needs. The Sunland care givers are friendly, confident, efficient, and knowledgeable. Our family is grateful for the quick response we received from Sunland to set up a schedule of care and have the knowledge that she is being cared for by competent and caring staff. We also appreciate the flexibility of adding more care as the need becomes necessary. Sunland Home Care is a blessing to our family. I have already passed on Sunland information to friends that have had similar needs with in their families. Jamie GregoryJamie Gregory

I am so grateful for Sunland Home Care & Medical. My sister was having surgery and I wasn’t able to be there to care for her, it broke my heart but everyone at Sunland made me feel at ease. I mostly spoke to Jessica, Jessica is very kind and understanding and listened to my wishes while I was looking for post surgery care for my sister. She had excellent communication and professionalism. Jessica matched my sister with a wonderful woman who really helped her with her recovery. I would highly recommend Sunland if you’re looking for high quality, compassionate care for your loved one. Thank you again for taking such good care of my sister.Danielle

Sunland Home Care stepped in and provided excellent care for our Mom. I contacted Jerry, described what we needed, and they provided caregivers the next day. I appreciate their patience, professionalism, and their commitment to care for their patient, my Mom. Providing care for someone with Alzheimer’s isn’t an easy task. Whenever I had a concern because something changed with Mom, Jerry returned calls and worked with me to find solutions. I cannot say enough about how much better we slept at night knowing someone watched over Mom. I highly recommend Sunland Home Care to anyone looking for exceptional care for someone they love.Deb V

Very unpleasant and nasty staff. Never answer phone calls and never return messages. Overall, it is a struggle and frustrating to deal with the staff at this agency. The only good side is that this is one of the agencies that offer average pay through the CDPAP program.Denise Santana

One of the best companies I had the pleasure of getting services with, they are very knowledgeable, excellent customer service I would give them 17 stars but they only gave me a limit of five thumbs up keep up the good work.Luis Morales (Brother Lou)
