20 Best Cna Programs In Toledo, OH (2022 Updated)

Honestly, should have listened to everyone discrediting this school. Cheaper ain't better. This school has stressed me out and I've only been attending for one semester. They keep changing my aid amount, will not reimburse my refund and all together have made my college experience a nightmare in hell especially with me working full-time. It always something new going on with my financial information for the following semester and new requirements that were completed prior to me attending resurfacing. Who has the time to keep re-ensuring that they're getting the money they already previously accepted? It doesn't matter how early you send your FAFSA in, they will find a way to have it reprocessed so late that you won't recieve the amount you already accepted. Honestly, I want to withdraw this semester but my grades are so high it would be no point.Jazmyliena Martin

Very poor experience, people don't care about the disabled students, they had charged me over $1k for not helping me get into my classes and they've abandoned me in 2010. One star for absolute failure. Edit: 9/14/2022 this so-called trio program from Owens community college isn't helpful not resourceful of how am I supposed to go to college, they sign me up late not knowing I'm missing out on my assignments and these advisors in the school are lazy and rude like they don't care for the disabled students such as myself. This is still an one star. Don't go to Owens community college if you're disabled like I am. They're ruining my life against my willMr. Martell Sincere

Attended Owens and completed an Associates degree in 2001. Returned to a local area 4 year college to complete a Bachelor of Science. Due to the high cost and mediocre experience. I chose to take as many transfer classes as possible at Owens. A full time semester was a fraction of a 4 year college semester. Pretty rigorous course material and most importantly, courses are well structured, you could actually work ahead following the syllabus. Students and staff are pleasant. Have my 4 year degree, and returning to Owens for certificate programs to fill in the gaps from said 4 year college curriculum.Brent A.

Complete lack of communication with this school. No preparation emails regarding upcoming school year or events that are occurring. Nothing provided as to what our students need to be admitted to specific programs. As a result of a medical concern, my student struggled throughout the school year and significantly at the end. Absolutely no communication from the teachers or office staff. One teacher (now retired) told me "they should know what to do in the case of not attending class in person". Only one other teacher responded and was the only one with compassion. Once a diagnosis was provided, absolutely no aid was provided and my student was denied additional services or testing (for IEP). Even now my student failed 2 classes. I happen to keep up with their grades, but NO ONE from the school ever contacted me about these concerning behaviors nor advised us as to what our options were to make up these classes. Severely disappointed with such a highly rated school.Rae Chica

I just graduated from Penta. I was in Business Office Tecnologies for 2 years. I was also in the Transition to work program for 1 year. Penta is a great school! Not only I made new friends, but I also learned everything I needed to know for life in general. The teachers truly care for their students and they want them to succeed. They also help you apply for colleges you want to go to and they support you. They even give you your passport when you graduate. I miss Penta so much and always will. It was my second home and my friends were like my family there. I will forever miss waking up early everyday to go to Penta! And I would definitely send my children there if I ever have any! 😭❤Jaycee Dior

Penta is a great school! It is safe and they have high expectations for discipline. Our son is enrolled in the Advanced Manufacturing Program and loves it! Penta is a great alternative for those high school students who may be undecided on future plans and/or afraid of college debt! He has gained real world experience and a sense of "what he is doing after graduation"…Thanks Penta!!!Rebecca Eiben

When looking for a location to complete STNA classes I was struggling to find one that would accommodate my current work schedule. Thankfully I found Paradigm! They offer evening classes so I am still able to work my regular job while going to school. All of the teachers I have encountered are incredibly knowledgeable and truly want you to succeed. They provide excellent first hand knowledge to help prepare us for the test, and the real working world. I feel very well prepared for my state test, and I know it is because of the excellent experience I have had at Paradigm.Stephanie Hyle

This place is amazing. Unfortunately I had to take online classes due to the pandemic but the classes and service was super duper amazing. Online classes had just as much info. I liked online classes and if I had a question it was always a quick response. Michael, Shayla, and Kay where so fun to be with. They made the class serious but fun.They are very good teachers, very knowledgeable and are willing to help in any way. They really want you to succeed. I really got my money's worth in this class. I will recommend to all my friends.Alicia Green

I just got finished with the STNA class with Paradigm and i can say this was THE BEST decision i could have made! The instructors are thorough and not only want you to succeed but do everything in their power to make sure this happens. They truly care! Don't let the online part intimidate you either, it is so doable and the instructors are just a message away at all times! The clinicals were so much fun which made it even easier to just soak it all in! 100/10 recommend to anyone and everyone!!Catie Yoak

After 3 1/2 months in the hospital my husband came home in February needing nursing care and therapy services. He had several chest tube wound sites. The nurse came out one day to evaluate and change his dressing and to address medication issues from his discharge- she said she wouldn't be his regular nurse, but someone would be out. Never saw another nurse and I took care of the dressings and sorted the medication issues myself. PT came out until he could make it from our home to the garage. The occupational therapist, Christine has continued to come out weekly and has really helped him progress and get stronger. He received a call yesterday from a nurse calling to schedule an appointment to discharge him from services…it's probably fine since he can do much more on his own….but really? Nursing hasn't been around in 2 months, and they get to decide?? As a health care professional myself, it doesn't make much sense to me. Grateful for the therapy he has received, but disappointed in the lack of nursing care and follow through.Leigh Lesniewski

This is my first experience with home health and I am very happy with the Therapy staff. Colleen from physical therapy and Melissa from occupational therapy are the best! They were so positive and kind when I first met them. Melissa is the OT who works with me, and brought me a tub bar and all the equipment I needed. I needed a little encouragement as I have never had a major health issue. I had hip surgery and I was afraid to move! She encouraged me so much that I am able to shower now. Lauren the physical therapy assistant was very good with working on my confidence with going up and down the steps. If I ever need anything in the future, I will only use Med1care. My fear I felt before they started was so high, now I am able to do almost everything that I could do before and it has only been 2 or 3 weeks. They are a great knowledgeable team. Thank you Med1 for sending me them to me!Jowana Sammons

I recently had neck and spine surgery. Med 1 was there to help me within a couple of days after I got home from the hospital. My nurse, Trish, was very kind and let me know what I could expect. My physical therapists, Colleen and Lauren, were very helpful in showing me the exercises I needed to regain my strength and making sure I understood how to do them. My occupational therapists, Melissa and Danielle, were also helpful in instructing me in ways I could strengthen and regain the use of my left hand. Each of these wonderful ladies who helped me were very professional and friendly, and always willing to take the time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needed their help.Cheryl Yunker

Mrs. Haja Conteh was truly the only reason why this place gets 3 stars. She is a great instructor and laid everything out simply, I had her for the night class. The place itself is sketchy, costs way too much, we don't get to keep the textbook, and the AC was out for the entire 2 weeks. It was hot and gross and certainly a health code violation. It was a fast 3 weeks though and the material was not hard at all. Overall, since it's cheaper than Alia I recommend it. But ask for an itemized list of why they are charging you around $400 for nothing. The place needs to be revamped, it's hella run down and all the materials are old and gross. Get the damn AC fixed for future classes. If you take the classes, ask if Haja is teaching the day class or night class before you enroll.Abby Ray

I had Miss Haja as an instructor. She gets 10 stars. Loved her! Super cute and helpful and informative. Also had Miss Brenda who I also loved. 3 stars for the management of the actual facility and classes; unorganized due to Eric. He’s a nice dude, but wasn’t helpful when the snow came and snowed us out. All of the classmates waited for about 45 minutes (doors were locked and lights were off) we were dismissed and told Miss Haja wasn’t answering by Eric but he told Miss Haja we all ‘just left’ on our own. Frustrating as Miss Haja was on her way and late due to snow, and had talked to Eric! We had to make up hours and it was lame. Otherwise, good experience with the instructors.Grace Allison

Chambrell was a wonderful teacher! Really glad I decided to get my training here. Also, for the cost of STNA training it was cheaper compared to other places nearby. They give you everything you need to prepare for the test and Chambrell creates a fun learning environment. She was very helpful and loves what she does. Highly recommend! I felt very prepared for the tests and passed no problem! Thank you 🙂Shannon B

I have been involved with Glendale Assisted living for over 6 years. On both sides of the coin. My mother lived at the Glendale for over 2 years. Her care was nothing but perfection. Her nurses always administered her meds in a timely fashion, Home health aides were there to assist to her needs daily. and in a timely fashion. She loved the food there and if she needed assistance with feeding they were always there to assist. The director Linda Johnson has regularly scheduled staff meeting and always nows everything about the residents that lived there. And with all her duties she still was able to be on top of all her residents. And how did I know this? Well I am a registered Nurse and was there everyday to visit my mother. Jodi the activities director always has lots of activities planned. From the zoo, to Manor house, to lunch dates, parks, and ice cream visits. She also went out of her way and went store shopping for those residents who could not get out or had no one Available to assists. Of course this was all before covid. But now that my mother has passed, I am still involved with the Glendale. I am an RN and see residents on a regular basis thru the Health care company I work for. There a few new faces there like the DON Krystal. She is an excellent educator, and always goes beyond corresponding with family and staff. When I walk into the Glendale, everyone is friendly and says good morning with a smile,. That makes my day. So, if your looking for a family oriented home for your loved one. You have found it at the Glendale . Eve Lynne Jurski RNEVE LYNNE JURSKI

The Glendale has been a lifesaver for me! I had been taking care of my dad for years, and was truly hoping I would be able to do so for his entire life, but that was unrealistic. He broke his hip in May 2020, and that along with his declining memory and rational thinking, I had to make a decision. I prayed and prayed, and prayers were answered when I received a call from Julie. I’m sure she has no idea how much her kindness helped me. We moved Dad in in July. It was extra difficult with Covid and there were a few hurdles, but overall, I can’t complain. Krystal was very helpful with everything at this time. She is kind and easy to talk to. Dad seems to be doing well, and overall happy. I still call him several times throughout the day and sometimes he doesn’t hang up the phone, so I leave it off on my end also, so I can call out to him if he seems confused. In doing so, I have heard aides come in with such kindness in their voices. They call him buddy and one has even said “love you guys” as she left after getting he and his roommate ready for bed. This warms my heart. With any assisted living, you are going to have things that come up that you don’t like or agree with, but I would highly recommend The Glendale. I can’t go without saying they have the BEST activities director, Jodi. She is kind and awesome at her job!Deb Cloud

A loving and caring facility for your loved one. My dad has been a resident for about 2 years. I moved him from another facility because they weren’t up to standards. I couldn’t have made a better decision. They treat my dad like family and he loves it there. I use to worry so much, but now it’s no worry for me. They take good care of him. Linda and her staff are awesome. She goes above and beyond to satisfy her residents and their families. She make sure that her staff follow all rules and regulations. Jody the actives director is awesome. She helps to keep the residents active and filled with lots of fun and games. I’m very satisfied and wouldn’t change a thing. Keep up the good work!!!

I found this school very informative and helpful. The instructors definitely cared for the students and actually WANT you pass. They take it very seriously. Being the best price around, the quality of the class is almost better than some college classes that I've taken, it's definitely worth it. The instructors bring in their own experiences that help you learn quickly. Passing the state test along with patient care are their top priorities. If you're looking for a great STNA school in central Ohio, this is the place to go.C.T. Stone

Chambrell did an excellent job and was extremely helpful during the entire course. She was professional and very knowledgeable (and funny!). The course can be overwhelming, only if you don’t study hard, but they provide so many resources to help you and you will feel more confident by the end that you can become a nursing assistant. I enjoyed this class thoroughly and would recommend anyone to take it if you are looking to state test or just become better within patient care :). I will miss it!Lanee Williams

Premier Choice is a top-tier instiution for STNA Training. My instructor for the day-time class, Chambrell, is of the highest caliber — always taking the time to answer questions and review skills. She also has great outfits which is a huge plus 😉 The entire staff is professional, kind, and eager to help with career planning following completion of the course. You can tell that they truly care about the success of their students!Haven Rodocker

Going here truly changed my life I learned a lot in the fiber optic program in which upon graduation was offered and received a position at a top communication provider in the Toledo area. the leaders of this school were their for me while in school and upon graduation this school is a GREAT commodity in our community and I'm proud to have been apart of it.Alondria Wright

I have been going here for almost a year and I really appreciate the school for really being there for me. They have been like a second family to me. They are very supportive and I would recommend them as a place of higher education .Vivan Bridges

I had an opportunity to work with the staff at this school. I'm excited about how they are helping the community and educating the new workforceTroy Nalls

Pitiful place, they were a LITTLE better, but not much, before covid hit, when the virus came it was like it was party central for them because you couldn't go there and see what was going on, you could call on the phone, and if you could reach the front desk, they would transfer you to the "nurses" station who rarely picked up, most of the time the line would ring as long as you wanted it to, pitiful, I've had at least four quarterly phone meetings set up with victoria , whose job there I still don't fully understand what it was, she never called, oh, she did call once, four hours later, (was supposed to call at 11.30 called at 4.30 I missed it), her later excuses were " I did call" yeah she called my home phone, from a private number, didn't leave a message, when she normally calls my cell, when I did finally meet with her and confronted her with what happened, her response was, while walking away from me was " oh well I guess it's your word against mine", I do have all my phone records in case she says I'm lying, my brother was there for about two years (not my choice), he went there for a stroke, he did have a mild one before this one but he was doing good before he went here, driving, working, seems like he went downhill once he got there, had another stroke, couldn't talk any more, seems like he was at Toledo Hospital (much love to the workers there!) more than he was at park, most of the time for reasons that I question, but most of the times that he went to Toledo I didn't even know until the hospital called me to ask me a question about him.I was going move my brother to another home, I called some places, talked to them, then park sent my brother back to Toledo hospital in grave condition where it was too late.I want to mention their financial I think her name is jennifer, pitiful, she gave me three different prices for the cost of my brother staying there, and with a rude attitude to boot. Don't let the pretty pictures fool you! Like they say I'm giving one star because they won't let you give zero. P.S this place didn't even send a card after my brother passed, they knew the same day, he was there for a little while, to me it's common just courtesy, but look who I'm talking about.Prentis Walton

My mother has been there for a month and today was my first time visiting. This is what i noticed upon arrival. Nobody is ever at the reception desk to let you in or out, you stand there for at least 10 min before someone shows up. Once inside noone tells you how to get around they are to busy chatting amongst themselves. Once i found my moms room first thing i noticed was side of the room was in disarray. Things still packed up. Room and items not arranged to make it easier for her to assets her items. Once i got things organized i pushed call button not only to see how long it takes for someone to show up but also because there was a problem with the tv. Took about 30 min before someone showed up and the tv doesnt work. Hasn't worked in days😒. Room floor could use a good mopping. Food looked horrible but mom said it wasn't to bad today😒. Morning and night staff seem not to communicate. Ask morning nurse one thing got answer night nurse says something else💁‍♀️. I know this is just the beginning and they are still learning her but if things dont change they will see me more often and i would look into moving her elsewhere.Latoya Wade

So far so good!!! First, this is the 7th AL or LTC facility I’ve dealt with in some capacity over the past 7 years regarding my mom. I can see the vision of the new ownership and leadership team coming to fruition. At the end of the day, the things that matter most are meeting my expectations. #1 Mom is safe. And, I have confidence in the facility’s protocols for maintaining her safety. 2. Mom is calm and has days filled with activities driven by professionals in all necessary roles (from nurses, aides, therapy to social) who compassionately care for her and use patience, kindness and empathy in their words and tone. 3. Her medical needs are met and the business office is on top of things and makes the process seamless. And, even better, I have not yet heard a complaint about the food. We’re still in the honeymoon phase, coming to the end of our first month, but I am SO grateful already that I have faith things will continue in the right directionDenise Stollings

Great experience throughout the entire process everything was very professional and the staff was very helpful. I would highly recommend Infinity Heart Health LLC. for STNA training and also CPR.Dominique Hibbler

Very beneficial ! Had great study materials, Great with help if needed. Learned everything you need to know about caregiving . Instructor was Punctual & Professional at all times !Angel Phillips

My experience in the stna class is one I will never forget! Had an amazing teacher the staff were so friendly I looked forward to being there I have learned so much more then I thought I knew about taking care of another human being I learned hands on what it was like for a person to lose Independence and feel what another human being feels when they can no longer do for themselves. Thank you to everyone at companions you do make a differenceNancy Mcdougale

I was Karen's first student and I loved it! I took the 4-week class because I, personally, like to spread my work out rather than cramming it into two weeks. I had 2 morning clinical's and 2 afternoon clinical's at Jackson Ridge where I work now. My favorite part was the hands on work. You teach the teacher just like it says on her website. She is very understanding and will help you with any questions or concerns you may have! I am now an STNA and have been working since December 25th!Hannah Hall

One of the best classes you can take, not only does the teacher make you feel confident in yourself but the teacher also gives you real world applications to the work you training in, give you the time and actually cares on how you do in the field. A real 10/10 classKevin McBride

If I could leave a zero star that’d be cool. I called to get basic information. Wanted to know transferable credits of and ADN degree to BSN degree. Was told o needed to “Speak English” (mind you I’m as English and American as it gets) I asked what he meant by to speak English and he said he didn’t understand was an ADN or BSN is. There’s more polite ways to ask about something you don’t understand than to straight up tell someone “I need you to speak English for me” like sir! I need you to speak more professionally for me. Disgusted. Btw don’t press “2” option or you’ll probably be talked to like a dog too.Kyra Yates

I’m currently an attending undergrad since 2019. I’ve only had one major issue and that was my academic advisor originally slotting 18 credit hours my first semester. But I got a new academic advisor and I’ve had no other issues. All of my professors have been nice even if they were strict with teaching methods. I could even say I’d miss a few of them cause they made classes with them super fun. Their Covid-19 response was also great and their testing centers were quick and easy to attend. The campus is also really nice in the spring/summer when it’s not too hot.C. H.

As community members, we attend some of the music programs. All of the free music programs come with a 100% money-back guarantee if you don't like them. Tastes in music vary and there are different performances. Theater programs usually have a charge, comparable to some community theaters and high school theater productions. Tastes again vary and it is hard to put Star labels on these genres of offering. Facilities are functional. During COVID, masks required. Parking usually adequate.Gary Fox

Graduate in 2013. My internship was a nightmare, I had very little training by the company that was picked for me. They had me cleaning out their files the first week, how convenient, very disappointed. I reported my concern to Ross career coordinator, she didn't seem very concerned that my experience was uncomfortable and a waste of time. At registration, they offer "life time placement assistance", I reached out numerous times to Brittany in 2016 for assistance in helping me find work in my field. All she did was send me a few "leads" from the website Indeed which I already had done on my own. She stressed that she focuses on the current students, how insulting, I was offended, as if I was not important. I asked for help in updating my Resume to help market myself. She never took the time to review my resume or advise me. I haven't heard from her in 7 months. I had a great instructor while I was a student, that was my only positive experience while enrolled at Ross. Hopefully this review will help in determining your choice of schools to pursue for a future career. I wish I would have explored my options more carefully before I chose Ross.Crystal M

I was in a hard place in my life when I started at Ross. The teachers are amazing and fun! All the staff are wonderful and are a great support system. Whenever I felt like I couldn’t continue they motivated me and encouraged me to keep going. Ross had my back when no one else did and it made me really love school! I recommend Ross to everyone I come across that’s interested in continuing their education. I can honestly say attending Ross is one one of the best decisions I have ever made! Thank you Ross for everything you guys are the true MVP’s!Cassandra Melvin

Ross was the most amazing thing i could have done in life. The class sizes were just big enough for everyone to learn and work on things together and get extra time on things we needed help on. The teachers were very helpful and the staff was very kind. they all wanted nothing but for you to succeed. I really want to thank everyone at ross sylvania for my time there and helping me learn and become a medical assistant.Jaylynne Adams

This is the school that I graduated from as did most of my family….so I am extremely disappointed to see when you google Scott and the picture that represents this school is one of police officers removing a black person by force, and a banner overhead reading TPS Proud!!!!! What kind of foolishness is this?????? Is that how you represent ALL of the schools in Toledo or is it just Scott because it is predominately a black school????? I am totally appalled and hope that this image is removed before i have to bring it to the attention of someone who can make sure that it is removed!!!!!Deborah Cotton

The best collge prep school ,diversity of faculty and students. .. love and live WITH EACH OF OUR RACIALS DIFFERENCES … ASIAN , BLACK, LATINO, HISPANICS, EUROS. POLISH , GREEK. ,LEBANES, AND MY DADS HERITAGE! NATIVE INDIGEOUS AMERICAN. .. I STAND FOR ALL !!Rochelle Anderson

High school's are a great place for young adult's to learn how to be successful in life and manage their life pro efficiently. A resident where i live went there so a good review seems appropriate. Have a good rest of the year Scott High School.Austin Meszaros

I took this class this pass July and let me tell you Mrs. Fisher is the teacher You would want to go to learn all the necessarily information there is on the nursing state test. The class is easy if you are dedicated and willing to learn. The information she gave me in my notebook is a keeper and it does help along the way for those majoring in nursing.Kayla Henderson

Changing my review yet again… Yes, there was technical and communication difficulties at the start but once you get through all that you do get a good quality education. So once you get past all the initial back and forth you'll need all you need to know, and more and is instructed in such a way that it's easy to comprehend. Well done…Kaustubha Das

Ms Fisher is a good person and teacher. Before my class she was hard to get in contact with but it’s because she is only one person and busy. She will help however she can & she made me feel comfortable & not dumb. I passed both portions of my test on the first try. Ms Fisher set me up to succeed and I am grateful she was my teacher.Kay Marie
