Carol Gunn, RN

Director of Nursing

Carol brings more than 30 years of nursing experience to Arista. Born and raised in the North of England, she graduated from nursing school in 1995 and began her career in London. In 2003, Carol followed a longtime dream of working in another country and moved to the United States, where she has continued to build a diverse career in healthcare.

Over the past four years, Carol’s career has increasingly focused on leadership, something she describes as her true calling. She brings that experience to Arista with a clear vision: to provide care that exceeds expectations, strengthen our clinical services, and build a cohesive team committed to providing exceptional care to the people we serve.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to lead this team. My goal is for Arista to become one of the leaders in home health care in our area, providing care that exceeds people’s expectations while building a strong, cohesive team.”

Outside of nursing, Carol has a creative and adventurous side. She enjoys being outdoors, gardening, tennis, cycling and walking, as well as cooking. She is currently pursuing a degree in interior design, something that allows her to explore a lifelong passion for creativity. Carol shares her home with her wife and their pug, Natasha, who, according to Carol, is quite the diva!

We are excited to have Carol leading Arista’s clinical team and look forward to the experience, energy and leadership she brings to this important role.

I was a STNA for 12 years before deciding to go  back to school to become an LPN so I took the plunge going to school while working full time but it was so worth it. I worked as a wound nurse and night supervisor at a LTF before deciding to go to home care. I love home care because you are one on one with your patients and can form a bond. I have patients I have been with 4-5 years and they are like family to me. I am a Mom to 2 daughters 22 and 24 and a cat and dog mom, 3 cats and 1 ornery chihuahua who I actually adopted from a patient when she could no longer care for him. In my spare time I love to garden, look for antiques, cook and bake and love weekend trips to Ann Arbor, Put in Bay and Chicago, waiting to be able to go!

I graduated from Mercy college in 1995 and became a nurse. I was inspired by a 6th grade science fair project on Histology with my uncle who then became a doctor. I am married with 2 daughters. My oldest daughter, Olivia is an X-ray Tech with Toledo Clinic and my youngest, Amanda will graduate in December from Mercy College with Bachelor of Nursing. Amanda has hydrocephalus and has had 14 brain surgeries which led to her wanting to become a nurse. My hobbies include watching sports-Detroit Tigers, Ohio State Buckeyes, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins. I also like to go shopping with my daughters and help them decorating their houses or small projects around the house. We like to hang out with each other and go hunting for Rae Dunn pottery. I enjoy being a nurse, love helping others and putting smiles on their faces.

Suzette, RN

I am a Registered Nurse. I knew I wanted to be a nurse since I was a little girl watching my mom, a recovery room nurse, take care of people.

I grew up in a small farm town and moved to Sylvania as a teenager. I graduated from Sylvania High School and attended my mom’s alma mater, Mercy College of Northwest Ohio.

My hobbies include gardening, scrapbooking, crafting, sewing, attending Renaissance Festivals, and playing with my dog.

I love helping and taking care of my patients. I enjoy working for Arista Home Care due to the flexible schedule.

Dannielle, LPN

I have been in healthcare for over twenty years and have worked as a nurse for the past six. I am married, and together my husband and I are blessed with seven wonderful children, ranging in age from 9 months to 22 years. Our busy household also includes a lizard, a dog, and two cats—so it’s safe to say it’s never quiet!

In my free time, I love spending time with my family. We enjoy camping, outdoor adventures, concerts, music, and sports—especially cheering on Ohio State football. I also enjoy reading, coffee, animals, and all things fall.

I am excited to be part of the Arista Home Care family and look forward to helping patients live safely and comfortably in their own homes.

Tiffany H.

Health Insurance Specialist

I grew up in Toledo, OH, attending Bowsher HS. I have a close-knit family with one brother and a sister. We do A LOT of things together and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Family comes first! I am a homebody. I love all things fall/horror. I love to shop, watch sports, I love movies and I LOVE being at home with my 6 cats!

Why did I choose healthcare as a career? My sister and sister-in-law are both in the medical field. My sister is a Nurse Practitioner in Michigan and my SIL works for Mercy Health, so it’s something I’ve always gravitated towards. I look forward to bringing my home health care insurance skills to Arista!
