About Arista Home Care Solutions
Our companionship, homemaking, and wellness services allow those in need to remain comfortably in their home, close to family and friends. Arista Home Care is locally owned and operated, reinvesting our time and resources in the community in which we live.
We know we will not be defined by what we say about ourselves, but by what others say about us.
Our Why Could be Your Why
Like you, we too struggled with finding a reliable, compassionate in-home care agency.
When looking for in-home care for Paula’s aging mother, we were disappointed in the quality of care she received; the lack of consistent caregivers and poor training; and also by the “corporate way” our concerns were addressed.
We felt helpless as she was re-admitted to the hospital over and over again.
There was no resolution and no one provided solutions. There had to be a better way.
We set out to create a different in-home care agency and it starts with our name.
There are a lot of home care companies out there; in order to distinguish ourselves from the rest we focus on providing solutions to the problems your facing.
Which is why “Solutions” is part of our name.
Family owned and operated, we have raised our six children locally. We enjoy traveling, and spending time at home with our Chocolate Lab and two Rottweiler’s.
Paula graduated from The University of Toledo with a degree in Medical Assisting and has been working in healthcare in Toledo for over 25 years.
