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

FAQ
Choosing the Right Care
The questions families ask most when they are deciding where to begin. If yours is not here, call us. We would rather spend 10 minutes on the phone than leave you guessing.
What if we choose the wrong service?
You cannot really get it wrong, because nothing is locked in. We start with a quick conversation about what is going on, suggest a sensible first step, and adjust from there. If companion care turns out to need a little hands-on help, we add personal care to the same visits. There is no new intake, no waiting list, and no starting over. Your care plan flexes as needs change.
Can we combine more than one type of care?
Yes, and most families do. A single caregiver often blends services in one visit, for example handling personal care in the morning, then meal prep and companionship before they leave. You are not buying separate packages. You are building one plan that covers everything your loved one needs.
How do we know which level of care to start with?
A simple rule of thumb: if the main issue is loneliness or light help, start with companion care or home support. If there is hands-on help needed with bathing, dressing, or mobility, start with personal care. If memory loss is the central concern, start with memory care support. If you are recovering from a hospital stay, start with transition care. When in doubt, call us and we will help you decide in about 20 minutes.
Do we have to commit to a set number of hours or a contract?
No. Every Ativo service starts at a 4-hour minimum visit, and there are no long-term contracts. You can increase, decrease, pause, or stop care with a simple phone call. This is what lets families start small and scale only when they actually need to.
Can the same caregiver provide different types of care over time?
Whenever possible, yes. Continuity matters, especially for memory care and personal care, so we keep the same caregiver or small team in place as needs evolve. Your loved one keeps the familiar face they trust even as the level of support changes.
