After a prolonged hospital stay for intractable epilepsy my 8-year-old son was referred for home nursing through Maxim. Although nursing was not currently provided in our foothill community after several months and diligent work Giovanni was able to work with our insurance and find a nurse willing to travel to our area. I have rarely met anyone in the medical field who put in that much effort on our behalf. It was truly a gift.My son has been receiving home nursing care by two LVNs through Maxim for 3 months and they are a blessing. I have been satisfied with the process and all of the staff that we have worked with so far. Everyone has been professional and competent as well as kind. It has been an adjustment for our family but it is also a huge relief knowing that my son is safely under the care of a nurse in his own home.
Hello I am a parent of a client who receives in home aba therapy. When I seen the employee of the month post I felt the urge to share our story. My son Kamryn is a 7 year old autistic and non verbal smiley social little boy. However he wasnt given the opportunity from our prior ABA company to shine. Most of his therapy seemed to revolved around removing his iPad and having him conform to social standards then it was for him to learn how to manage himself within those social standards. Since Jacquie has started with us the improvements Kamryn has made is out of this world. He is becoming an avid aac device user he is following directions he is dressed everyday and the meltdowns have drastically dropped. The empathic approach Jacquie uses with her calm yet stern demeanor is exactly what my son needed and thrives with. She has utilized his iPad to help him grow in ways related to his academics that astound me. Kamryn is a matching sorting puzzle completing king now. In our home we often joke about how Kamryn is with Jacquie and his Anything for Selena demeanor and attitude towards her because Kamryn really does do anything for Jacquie. She has shined such a BRIGHT light in what used to be a dark long tunnel. We can see through now. Although her time with us has been short the accomplishments she has made with Kamryn makes the hugest of difference for our family.From the bottom of a special needs mothers heart. THANK YOU . I would love to nominate her for next months employee of the month award. Thank you in advance.
Maxim Healthcare is incredible. We struggled to find the right type of ABA therapy for my 7 year old son. Many of the companies locally cannot help accommodate outings to the Doctors office school or the community in general. Which is where my son struggled the most. Never have I felt more refreshed and cared for then I do with them. Run dont walk Amazing people.
If I couod get zero stars I would. Racist employees work at this location. They are unorganized and very unprofessional. To make a long story short After them canceling several respite care appointments or just outright standing us up on numerous occasions we finally had a date set for an employee to come to our home to watch our son. An employee named Jayden showed up and ended up filing false reports with childrens services against my wife and I. Childrens services came to our home the day after Jayden watched our child accusing us of neglect and saying our sons room was filthy. Our house was spotless as usual when CPS showed up the next day yet we did not even receive an apology from this terrible company. My wife spoke with Jaydens manager who actually attempted to defend Jaydens racist actions. Considering the fact that nothing was true in the CPS report we can only conclude that there was racial bias involved in this incident. This company needs to be careful about the backgrounds of their employees because they are opening themselves up to defamation suits. My wife called Maxim and filed a complaint with their compliance department only to later find that the company did absolutely nothing to resolve the issue. Both Jayden and her manager should have been fired. This company has a high tolerance for racism.
If youre African-American do not use this company unless you like drama. Their employees are racially biased and will make false complaints against your household. We did two meet and greets for respite care and neither of the workers seemed very interested in getting to know our child. They asked no questions and did not engage with them. They literally sat there and stared at him the entire time. When we ask the company to send someone to watch our child they stood us up on three separate occasions unprofessionalism. Finally when one of the workers named Jayden agreed to come on a Thursday night our son threw up while we were gone and the worker had her manager make a false complaint with childrens services. I should have known better than to leave my son with Jayden because she seems to be afraid of black people and she showed up to our home in winter boots when it was over 100 degrees outside. She was stand offish and barely said anything. She asked no questions about him nor did she ask where anything in our home was. I wouldnt be surprised if I found out that she agreed to watch my son just so she could call Childrens services on a black family. I dont recommend this company to any minorities especially not blacks.Update I called the company and filed a complaint and received a case number. Im going to follow up in two weeks to find out how seriously Maxim Health takes my complaint. I feel that the caregiver should be fired. Also the same day that I filed the case complaint the manager Jeanette Ortiz sent a letter via Fedex overnight shipping letting me know that my services with Maxim have been terminated.Update on 92623 I called for an update regarding my complaint and found out that absolutely nothing was done to remedy the situation. I didnt even receive an apology from this company. Also based on the response to my complaint the racist worker employee Jayden was not reprimanded and neither was the supervisor. I would like to warn Maxim Healthcare that employees like Jayden and her ignorant supervisor are a compliance issue. She filed a false report with childrens services a third party against my household for what I believe to be a racist reason and employees like her will open you up to defamation law suits. Buyer beware do not use this companies services Also I find it funny that the company paid an African American contractor to post a good review the week after my complaint about their racism. Its way too detailed for her to not have received compensation for it.

Lauren came in and did the intake paperwork and explained everything so clearly. Maxim is FANTASTIC
As a novice nurse I appreciate the open communication I have received from staff especially from recruiter Giovanni Thuy and RNs Lori and Stephanie. I know I can reach out at any time and call for guidance if needed and they respond . Highly recommend Maxim especially as a new nurse. The training is thorough and the wide range of age and needs of patients gives you opportunities to expand experience and skills. The families I have been placed with have been a great match and my permanent patient has shown me a love for pediatrics that I did not know existed for me. Thanks Maxim and Maxim Families
Briana was a great recruiter during my hiring process with Maxim Healthcare. She got to know me personally as well as professionally during our initial interview. As well as during the on-boarding process she continued to make sure I was completing my requirements and if there were any issues I may have had she walked me through the process and made it work out.
Awesome people Healthy family oriented environment. Everyone has a smile when you walk in the office
Things must have changed since the last few reviews. Ive had nothing but a wonderful experience with maxim Theyve sent some really good nurses that care...
I have just completed the Novice Nurse Home Health Training program that is one year long with Maxim Healthcare through the Fresno office. I made the switch because skilled nursing was not my niche. I was welcomed with open arms by Giovanni the recruiter and interviewed by him and others. I was supported all the way through the hiring and training process. I feel HEAVILY supported by every single staff member. I absolutely love my client and the family that I was paired with I have been trained on so many new medical techniques and devices that I had either never been exposed to or never heard of through my one year training and gained confidence in my skills throughout my time with Maxim. The support from my supervising RN is AMAZING I know that I am working to protect both our licenses and she gives the best advice for how things should be completed when I am in unfamiliar territory. I appreciate the approach RN Eddings always takes with correction it is always done kindly with a teaching heart. My initial plan was to obtain my one year in nursing and leave the company for the Prison Healthcare industry I do not know how I will ever leave I feel more supported and cared for than with any other company I have every worked for When an employee is truly happy it makes you LOVE your job and want to do better and work harder and provide better care for our client
Frequently Asked Questions
Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like:
- responding to questions
- starting or ending conversation
- changing conversation topics
- using gestures like pointing
- understanding other people's body language
Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. There is a critical period in the brain for language development and so, it's really important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. Your child will learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals.
It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking —they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don't speak at all.
Spot speech and language delays like a doctor here.
The goal of speech therapy is to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments. This may take the form of using gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
Some other common things speech therapists can help with:
- Nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures
- Forming speech in a clearer way
- Communicating thoughts and feelings clearly
- Understanding and responding to questions
- Discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions
- Noticing and understanding body language
- Feeding and swallowing
- Stuttering
The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
- Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your child’s strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about your child’s skills, and your child will most likely demonstrate their skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a few hours.
- Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your child’s needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
- Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with your child and your family, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon a child’s strengths. Some exercises your child might participate in are animal walks, obstacle courses, and therapy swing activities. Your family may learn strategies for supporting your child’s individualized needs at home, such as ways of supporting emotional regulation and sensory processing. The therapist may also recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help your child succeed.
- Monitor your child’s progress. Parents and caregivers can expect ongoing progress monitoring and communication to ensure the child is achieving their short and long-term goals.
Occupational therapy can also be provided virtually via telemedicine. Virtual therapy is a great option for families in rural areas who may not have access to in-person services, or for families who prefer to have therapy in their child’s home.
Virtual OT allows the opportunity for increased caregiver participation and understanding of a child’s strengths, areas of improvement, and generalization of skills in the child’s home environment. Virtual therapy also provides increased opportunities for caregiver and family education to support the child and the family based on each family’s needs.
Once you find a quality physical therapist you want to work with, here are a few things you need to know:
- There will be an evaluation. First, you can expect an assessment to identify your child’s areas of strength and needs. A physical therapy evaluation usually lasts 30 minutes.
- You’ll review and approve the care plan. The physical therapist will create a care plan, also known as a plan of care (POC), outlining the goals and strategies. They will review this with you and your care team before moving forward with therapy sessions.
- Physical therapy sessions will be fun. PT with children is designed to be enjoyable. The therapist will use strategies and exercises based on your child’s needs. Exercises might involve playing on large stability balls, obstacle courses, movement equipment, stretches, and other hands-on activities.
- Expect home exercises. Physical therapists commonly assign exercises to work on at home. Doing these exercises with your child outside therapy sessions can improve your child’s overall progress.
Yes! Most providers offer physical therapy in their offices or a clinical setting, but many are offering at-home options. Virtual options have become more popular in recent years. You might facilitate care with the guidance of the physical therapist.
Pediatric physical therapy is considered safe and should not hurt. Autistic children spend their time in PT moving and exploring their environment. If you are concerned about your child experiencing pain during certain exercises, especially if they may struggle to communicate and advocate for modifications, speak with their physical therapist about your concerns.
