About Arista Hospice & Healthcare

Arista Home Health is a Medicare-certified home health agency serving Tucson, AZ and has been Medicare certified since 2011. Services offered in the home include skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, medical social services and home health aide visits. The agency is privately owned.

Medicare rates the quality of patient care at Arista Home Health 2.5 out of 5 stars, based on how quickly care starts, how often patients improve at walking, bathing and managing medications, and how often they are readmitted to the hospital.

The Owner Danielle Sipe is rude, and severely unprofessional. Don’t recommend her service.

My wife Susan was cared for by Tracy, Krystal and Nicole. They provided the best care I could ever have hoped for my wife. They all showed tremendous compassion for Susan and were extremely reliable and professional. Thank you Arista for supporting me and taking such good care of Susan. Susan was also supported by a Hospice volunteer, Vicki. If anyone deserves to receive “volunteer of the year”, it should be Vicki. Vicki would always plan some developmentally appropriate activity commensurate with Susan’s cognitive and physical abilities as they regressed. Whenever possible the activities were hands on and interactive. There must have been some sort of divine intervention for Arista to select such an extraordinary team that wrapped around Susan with all the skills and empathy necessary to meet Susan and my needs.

I had knee surgery, and my doctor's office setup my in-home physical therapy. Albert was very professional and always on time. He helped me overcome all my fears and pain. I am extremely grateful for the care Albert and Arista Home physical therapy gave me in a very difficult and painful time in my life.

My husband had Arista Home Hospice for the last 2 months of his life. Every person we had contact with was kind and compassionate. I could not have wanted better care for him.
