Paradise for parents is more than we hoped it would be for my father-in-law. We toured many homes and when we walked in we knew it was the best fit for him and us. We needed a home with a team to be able to help us fulfill what we can't for our father any longer. They provide exercise activities, wonderful meals, celebr ations, gatherings and always invite family and friends. Smiles and Hope are plentiful at Paradise for parents.

Hal is a preferred partner of Sante skilled rehab and Aleca home health and hospice. His homes are clean and residents stay busy with activities. Our clinicians enjoy going into his homes to service his residents. We look forward to a continued partnership.

One of my favorite Homes! I’ve been working with Paradise for parents for several years. Top of my list for referring seniors to. The quality of care Laura and the team provide is top notch. They treat every Resident there with such love and compassion. Truly grateful for homes like this

I absolutely love the energy in this home. All of the residence are always up and smiling. The staff is always engaged with all the residence. I have seen them sing dance joke around. I have even had the privilege to do craft with them. I will always recommend Paradise for Parents homes.

I have been coming to this home 3 days a week for several months now as a care companion to one of the residents. Every single member of the staff, notably, Elvis, Melanie, and Laura are some of the kindest, most genuine souls. They treat every resident with dignity and compassion. They are all truly great examples of the seven ethical principles of health professionals. Every resident, family member, hospice nurse, social worker, delivery driver, etc. is bound to encounter a warm house that feels like home, not a facility. The caregivers lovingly cherish each resident for their unique personality and never miss a chance to crack a joke with them. They are kind always, firm when need be, and knowledgeable about the needs of each individual. There is truly no better place.

I have been a manicurist for a couple of the residents over the years. I have high regards for the facility. Paradise for Parents care takers are always readily available and assist with dignity of the resident. The facility was always clean. The residents are always bathed. One of my clients was bed bound. She did not complain about bed sores. Her clothes were changed regularly. When her light was pressed, a care taker immediately came to her door. Paradise for Parents has been a positive experience and I would recommend them if I were in need of a care home. Laura was essentially helpful in the needs of the residents.

We could not have picked a better place for mom to stay, the staff here really made, not only mom, but the rest of our family feel at home, feel like family. If you are faced with the unfortunate decision of finding a place for a loved one to stay, because you can no longer provide the necessary care needed (a difficult realization to come to I will say), this is that place and they can provide that care. Mom has since passed away but I know in my heart we made the right decision. . God bless the staff here, Laura you are the best! Sincerely, Brooks

I go to group homes all over the valley as a NP. This is by far one of the best homes to work with. The staff is competent, genuine, and truly cares for their residents. Laura and Elvis are extremely friendly and know what they are doing. Meals are homecooked and they work w-the residents preferences to really make them feel at home. I would have my loved one in A Paradise for Parents without hesitation. --AKumpula, FNP-C Elevate Hospice

This was the best place for my Mom to live after my Father passed away. When she arrived she was depressed, wasnt taking her medication regularly or eating. Leaving her the first night was so hard for my family but they reassured us that they had this. Fast Foward a few days and my Mom was like a different woman. She was on a good schedule taking her medication, was enjoying eating her meals with her new friends and overall we saw such a great improvement!! I highly recommend A PARADISE FOR PARENTS. The staff is so caring and loving it was amazing to watch. The owner Hal was available for any questions or help we might need. After one visit my 30-year-old daughter announced she wants to live here...that is how pleasant this HOME is!!

This is the second entry by me, but Dad passed recently. His life was joyfully extended by Laura, Elvis and others. Hospice said he might live another 2 months when he first became a resident, but he got healthier and more alert. If you want you parent or spouse to live the last few months or years in a healthy and happy place, you have found it here. First entry, Laura and Elvis do a great job. Dad was in memory care, he fell several times at a very nice facility, he was overmedicated, and there was no interaction with him.We took him out of the facility and place them into a paradise for parents. He has put on weight, he has not fallen, he is not overmedicated, and the staff and others interact with him. All I can say is, thank you very much.

Paradise for Parents is an exceptional home away from home for my Mom. Welcoming, kind, approachable and compassionate staff provide excellent care, support, nourishment and love to the residents they serve. It is a comfortable and caring community. Living a long distance away is challenging, however Paradise for Parents reaches out, stays connected and provides me with peace of mind and heart that my Mom is in very competent hands. Thank you, and Bless you, one and all.

I am a hospice nurse, and I have had the privilege of caring for multiple patients at different times in this home. This truly is a remarkable home .The care is amazing and you can feel the love and warmth when you enter this home. I would without any hesitation put my love one in this is Beautiful ,warm ,loving , and caring home. It is very professional, but you dont feel that because it is so family orientated. The meals are incredible. I have been there at different times throughout the day and night. Ive also been offered food whenever I go there. The warm gesture is extended to anyone that comes into the home. Carol RN BSN

Hands down the best community home in the area! It is ran by a great staff and an even more impressive manager. The manager, Laura is amazing! She is so hands on and cares so deeply about ALL of her residents. She takes great pride in her residents nutrition and exercise, in turn it makes for a very happy and functional home. I see nothing but smiling faces on the people inside, the way that the staff and Laura talk to residentshandle situations is very beautiful to watch. If your looking for a community home in the area... look no further!

My family have been quite pleased with the care shown to our mom. She has dementia and cannot walk and Laura and her staff have been great with attending to her physical and emotional needs. Laura is very good at giving us updates on her health and sending pictures. This has been a hard situation for everyone and we are comforted by knowing she is in good hands. Kim Z.

It is with great pleasure that I am writing this review for Paradise for Parents on Banff Lane in Surprise, Arizona. For over two years, their care of my mother has been exceptional. They have addressed her every need and have also been proactive in staving off potential concerns regarding her ongoing care. The home-like setting, healthy homemade meals, housekeeping, and companionship make for a impressive and caring experience for our loved one. Our family is deeply appreciative of the dedication shown by their hands-on owners, and each staff member. Manager Laura, staff members Elvis, and Randys high level of professionalism, compassionate care, and respect is evident each at visit. We are forever grateful and can say honestly that this is a Paradise for Parents! Sincerely, Dr. Rachel K. Porterjones Surprise, Arizona

Our Aunt D is a member of the resident family. We are so thankful to the great staff, especially Laura, for always stepping up and in. As we currently live out of state it is a blessing to have the confidence we have in Lauras care for Aunt D and in the ownership as Hal is outstanding in this field of care. Chris

Praise for Paradise ( part 1 ) In October of 2019, we had to make the most difficult decision of our lives to date.....Our beloved, independent 91 year old mother could no longer safely live alone despite her feisty desire to live well into her 90s independently as her own mother had many years ago. Yes, she is blessed with genes of healthy longevity. We needed to find a way to make sure that she could have assistance 24-7 affordably. We explored the costs-benefits of her remaining in her home with hired live in help around the clock versus living with us with live in help, versus retirement homes, nursing homes, and assisted living group homes. We fortunately stumbled upon A Paradise for Parents on the internet. We arranged to meet Hal Cranmore, owner and the house manager Laura in the Banff Lane Paradise for Parents. Immediately upon entering the home, we realized this was not at all what we were expecting. It was as if you were walking into your own home or a neighbors home, warmly furnished and decorated, and an aroma of a wonderful home cooked meal being prepared in the kitchen. The home is also meticulously clean. Hal and Laura explained how the home operated, divulged details on transitions and difficulties associated with the transition and how they handle it as a team. We were introduced to the other staff and residents and it was very clear what a warm, personal and caring environment this was. We left with a feeling of hope, that this could be the right choice. We then toured other homes and facilities and knew that nothing compared to A Paradise for Parents. We then brought our mother Midge in for a tour to see what her thoughts were. Much to our surprise, she was immediately open to the idea of this being a possibility. After some talks and planning we decided to accept an upcoming vacancy in the home. We hoped and prayed that our mudder, as we affectionately call her, would be able to adjust to this type of living. We also felt very reassured as the home is only a 5 minute drive away from us. We moved Midge into Paradise in late October. Hal and Laura were very accommodating in allowing us to bring in personal furniture such as a desk set, dresser, lounge chair and ottoman and arranged for a bigger bed to be delivered. The room she shares with another is a master bedroom and very spacious. There is also a couch in the room which is conducive for visiting. Every effort was made to make sure that this transition was welcoming and accommodating to her desires. Laura is an absolute angel!! She really takes the time to get to know each resident and makes each resident really feel like part of the Paradise family. There is even a sweet little dog named Bandit there who all the residents seem to adore. Laura and staff had an amazing Halloween party the week Midge moved in. All residents and staff were wearing some sort of costume or hat and the food provided for the residents and their families and outside health care workers was outstanding! I can not get over the amount of planning that goes into providing nutritious and delicious meals. A Thanksgiving feast followed ( although we had Mudder home with us, we hear it was fantastic ), and then a magnificent Christmas party with live entertainment and Santa himself ( Hal ) delivering gifts to all the residents. The residents also had their hair done the day prior thanks to Hal.

Midge has adapted so incredibly well to this care home and we really have to just thank the staff and owner for all the fine details they see to each and every day. It is truly amazing! We still cant believe our mom has so graciously transitioned into this next phase of her life. In October we felt sad as we saw a decline in her mentation and physical abilities. She was weak and frail. By November, she was gaining strength and going for daily walks outside in the back yard ( had not wanted to do that when she lived alone...she was probably afraid ), eating breakfast every day ( only had orange juice when she lived alone, maybe a rare piece of toast ), participating in games at the home with visiting clergy ( she did not have interest in that when alone ). She really enjoys most meals at the home and if she does not care for something, she lets Laura or the staff know and they provide her with something she likes. We feel so blessed every night after talking to her and hearing her chat about all that went on during the day. She seems happier now than a year ago and that couldnt make us any more happy! Thank you Hal, for always checking in and taking the time to get to know your residents and for taking them on field trips! You are amazing! Thank you, Laura! You are the rock, the glue, the everything that makes Paradise so wonderful. You are a wonderful caregiver and soooo patient and giving. You always give your all, take constructive criticism from the residents and run with it, trying to make everyone happy. It does not go unnoticed all that you do. Thank You Elvis, the work horse, always busy and doing something. Moving furniture, caring for the residents, timing eye drops precisely. You rock! Thank you Chris, for your kindness and care. Taking care of Midges crises in the middle of the night, taking the time to watch an episode of Jeopardy and enjoy it with the residents. You are awesome. Thank you Esmerelda, for all your kind and loving care with the residents, cooking away in the kitchen, being a calming presence for those who feel anxious. We love you and all you do! Keep doing what you are doing because you are awesome at it!

TESTIMONIAL Hal Cranmer, owner of A Paradise for Parents Senior Living reached out to Cross Church in Surprise. He wanted to involve his residents in Bible Study. Marilyn and I (Maggie) were more than happy. I wasnt sure what to expect my first day there. I guess I expected a Nursing Home, with a desk and a receptionist and just a nursing home look. What I did come to find out was this was truly a home environment. They even have a dog. I felt like I was in my own home. Some of the residents were in their rooms, some watching TV. It was amazing. And Lara, she is also amazing, she is the caregiver. She definitely lives up to the name. Caregiver. She joins us in class and is always part of our group. They may ask her the same question 10 times, and all 10 times she will give them an answer. She definitely has a beautiful heart. I couldnt not think of a better place for your mom or dad to be. So well taken care of with people who really care. Sign me up, but not yet. Maggie Dolan

A Paradise for Parents Banff Ln is an outstanding facility, with dedicated staff and has my undying gratitude for the manner in which they cared for my wife. The environment was more like family then I could have expected. The Banff Ln home was always clean. I would say spotless. The food was very well prepared with efforts to individualize meals to the resident, and the leadership was responsive to any issues that might arise. I particularly commend Laura Medina. She is very professional but also very caring. Finally, I have recommended this group home to my friends

Paradise for Parents is the best place I have ever found for my mother. The owner Hal Cranmer is one of the kindest, most empathetic people I have ever met. He addressed all my concerns, and I knew my mother would be in good hands. The home is beautiful and comfortable, the food is delicious, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I can recommend Paradise For Parents without a doubt because they take all the worry and stress away.

During the most trying time, as I live abroad, I was introduce to Paradise for Parents for my Mom. Hal, Cameron, Laura, and team were there every step of the way. If a Group home is in your wheel house...look no further. They take a sincere interest, responsibility, and will bend over backwards for not only your loved one but the family. Thank you so much guys.
