Dennis Robison2023-11-20Very thorough and complete. Extremely pleasant visit with DJ.
Maria Ruiz2023-10-14I highly recommend this place to get a Caregiver Certification. The teachers are very knowledgeable, patient and very friendly. I really enjoyed this class, and encourage everyone who wants a caregiver certification to give this place a try.
Kendra Garcia2023-10-12I really was not looking forward to taking this caregiver class as I was never happy go lucky about school either and I wondered what I could really learn if I already do the work? The first 3 days went by so quick, Shelly is a very fun educator ! She doesn’t make the class drag on, she does hands on excercise/activities that are not only educational but honestly fun to participate in. She gave everybody good laughs and not to mention she is always so smiley ina very good mood, that makes for good energy. Very enjoyable !!
Jaime Hoose2023-10-12Surely was not looking forward to Having To set in a room with people I didn't know and take a class that I've already taken. Granite, it was in another state and have to give 62 hours of my time to take a class that I was already Well aware of.... Shelly Drews, who is the instructor of the class, She Is one of the most energetic happy genuine people i've ever met. This is not your typical class where you just watch a bunch of slides and videos and fight to stay awake.. Shellys teaching style makes this class so interesting. It's more of a hands on kind of teaching that is actually fun to participate in But still very informative. The second half of the class was the medications part. I can't say that it was nearly as interesting or fun as the first part of class, but it was definitely informative. And Alicia the instructor of that who is an RN knows her stuff and definitely gave a lot of useful information and I look forward to working in the field. Thank you to Shelly and alicia and all our guest speakers. I definitely learned a lot and will carry a lot of the information if not all of it with me. I definitely recommend taken class. Thanks again shelly and Alecia for all the information, laughs, good food and for making me feel like I can do this and I can be great!
Terrence Olome2023-10-11Orchard pointe Terrazza does not only take care of seniors but also offer quality classes for caregivers with well trained teachers like Sheley and Alicia who are very good in teaching students to become a good caregiver.

Shelly truly cares about what she does, and is passionate about caring for our senior residents and providing excellent care. Alicia Juarez, RN is so efficient in her training and she makes it fun. I absolutely recommended this class.

Dementia can destroy families all the way out to the extended family. I know from devastating personal experience what dementia can do to a family and had it not been for Shelly Lechter Drews our family situation would have been 100x worse than it was. Shelly was an absolute life saver. Clearly, she is a woman who has found her purpose in life. Not all angels have wings! Thank you Shelly for your caring and dedication!

I have worked with Shelly for almost two years and have observed the genuine care and concern she has for making sure seniors receive excellent care. She is responsive, observant, and takes initiative in making sure her clients are well cared for.
I have also observed the value Shelly places on creating meaningful, heartfelt connections with people. Clients, caregivers, colleagues, and members of the community have reiterated that same sentiment to me.
Additional qualities I have come to appreciate about Shelly include her honesty and her work ethic. She also has a tenacity for educating herself and the community on the advances in healthcare and the resources available to help those struggling with making important healthcare decisions

Shelly Drews has been a tremendous resource for our family. Whether it was the Home Care Assistance of Scottsdale we needed or outsourcing for other care needs including locating long or short-term options. She is educated, caring yet professional, and well versed in the latest options for care available. She is my first call whenever the need arises.

I have known Shelly for two years and have worked with her in the healthcare industry at many different levels. I have watched her nurture relationships with key people to build a company from the ground up into a very successful entity. She is always going well beyond anyone’s expectations when it comes to assisting those in need. I also served on a committee with Shelly that who was one of two key people in creating that served the community in healthcare education, resources, and collaboration within the industry in order to serve the aging community better. She is an amazing, hard-working, creative, serving individual that any company would be lucky to have on a team or managing a team!

There is no one who cares more about the elderly than Shelly Drews. She is the best advocate for making sure your loved one receives exceptional care… and a tigress on your behalf when the care is less than exceptional. In addition, she has her pulse on the latest treatments and technologies for prolonging quality of life and is responsible for bringing industry leaders together to share best practices.

Shelly is a kind and caring director, who also has a great business mind. She has that wonderful mixture of interacting with people in a thoughtful, yet effective way. At the same time, she knows how to successfully manage an organization. I would recommend her services with confidence.
