Our Caregiver Standard
“Skill gets a caregiver through the door. Character is what earns them a place on my team. Every caregiver I bring on is held to the same standard as our Ativo Senior Living teams, because that is the standard a family deserves when they open their door to us. The people who make it through are the people I would want caring for my own parents.”
Gabriela Ordonez
Director, Ativo Home Care Arizona
Why Ativo
Why Families in Surprise Choose Ativo
Ativo Home Care is the only home care provider in Surprise directly connected to a senior living community. Founded by Bryan Ziebart, who built Ativo Senior Living after decades in senior housing, our Surprise care team operates on one principle: the best care starts at home, before a crisis. Sun City Grand residents and Arizona Traditions families call us because we understand what active adult independence actually means. Our caregivers do not show up to take over. They show up to keep your loved one doing what they already do: golf at Granite Falls, pickleball at the Cimarron Center, and dinner with friends at the clubhouse. We match caregivers to clients based on energy level, interests, and communication style. That deliberate matching is why our retention rate is significantly higher than the industry average and why families stay with us for years rather than months.

The Surprise Senior Community We Serve
Surprise is home to Sun City Grand, Sun City Festival, Arizona Traditions, Marley Park, and The Grand, giving it arguably the highest density of active adult living in Arizona. Sun City Grand alone has over 14,000 residents, nine recreation centers, and seven golf courses. A typical Tuesday for a Sun City Grand resident might include a 7 AM tee time at Granite Falls, a woodworking session at the Chaparral Center at 10, and a potluck dinner at the Cimarron Ballroom in the evening. Arizona Traditions offers a quieter atmosphere with its own 18-hole golf course and the Traditions Club recreation center near Happy Valley Road. Marley Park south of Bell Road draws multi-generational families to its Heritage Park lake, walking trails, and community amphitheater. Surprise Stadium on Bullard Avenue brings the community together every spring for Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers training games. Banner Del E.

From Our Clients
What Families Across West Valley Are Saying
Real testimonials from Ativo Home Care clients across our service area. Each card shows the family’s own community.
“I cannot recommend Gabby and her team highly enough. They became a vital part of my dad's care team and an important advocate for him and extension of our family in the last several years of his life. From home health care to accompanying us to doctors appointments to keeping me company in the ER during several hospitalizations to private care in an assisted living home, Gabby's team was caring, thoughtful and proactive during some very challenging circumstances and also provided essential companionship as well. Call Gabby and her team! You and your loved one will be so grateful to have them in your life, as Dad and I did. Thank you Gabby, I never could have cared for dad alone.”
