“A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.”
– John Maxwell

The leaders of Phoenix Home Care are passionate about fulfilling their mission and identifying positive, new beginnings for the people they serve.
As a leadership team we are committed to leading by example in all that we say and do. With this in mind, we know that our primary responsibility is to do an exceptional job serving our caregivers and clinicians. By serving our caregivers and clinicians with passion, we have found that our clients consistently receive excellent service that exceeds their expectations.
We are proud to live the story of the phoenix daily, which we believe is to exceed the expectations of all we are privileged to serve. Isaiah 40:31 and 61:3 inspirationally talk of beauty and flight. We pray that we will give new meaning and beginnings to each individual we are blessed to influence and serve. The following commitments have formed the foundation of our dedication to new beginnings . . .
We believe that “where there is a will, there is a way!”
- We will earn the respect and loyalty of our employees and clients each day.
- We will consistently and altruistically maintain an open and transparent business culture and focus on fulfilling our mission in all that we do.
- We will promote and demonstrate Christ-like values of compassion, honesty, and patience daily.
We would consider it an honor to serve you as either a team member or client.
