Compassionate Callers offers a new way to check in on your loved ones. It is a simple calling service dedicated to connecting loved ones and clients of all ages. Our mission is to provide reliable, affordable and compassion support through up to 5 calls per day, 7 days a week. We offer a wide range of services designed to enhance the well-being and quality of life for our clients.

For individuals in need of regular reminders for medication and meal schedules, encouragement for physical therapy exercises or a true pro-active fall alert. We cater to a diverse array of needs with each client getting their own assessment and care plan which ensures that each call made serves a purpose.

Beyond the practice assistance, our service is a lifeline for the elderly, combating the scourge of loneliness. We go the extra mile by offering a monthly activity kit to engage and enrich their lives to stimulate both their minds and hands. These monthly activity kits provide an invaluable benefit to our aging population.

For busy parents juggling full-time jobs and latchkey kids returning home to an empty house, Compassionate Callers step in to provide reassurance and connection. We call children upon their return home from school and continue to check in throughout the afternoon until their parents return, creating a safer and more connected environment.

Additionally, Compassionate Callers is an invaluable HR benefit for employers looking to support their full-time employees who are also full-time family caregivers. Research has consistently shown that individuals in this dual role face a productivity decline of at least 18%, a number that only escalates with mounting stress at home and work. By assuming up to 5 phone calls, 7 days a week, we help these employees regain their productivity, reducing stress and improving their overall work-life balance.

Compassionate Callers is not just a service; it’s a lifeline, a support system and a solution for a healthier, happier and more connected life for everyone we serve.

Bina Colman is the Founder of Compassionate Callers. Her dad was diagnosed with dementia in his late 50’s and passed in his early 60’s because of his condition.

With Bina’s education, work experience and being a sandwich caregiver, she knew that there was a piece of the continuous care missing for so many that were not able to place their loved ones in a community or hire full time home care (non-medical caregivers).

She is hopeful that Compassionate Callers can be an affordable resource in the elderly world to give family caregivers some peace of mind!

Changing the Family Tree E66

The Tycoons welcomed Kay Bodude and Myrrie Hayes to the show to discuss a topic that should be talked about more, especially considering current events and the mental strain our society has been under this last year – mental and behavioral health. These ladies have an inspiring story to tell and it all started from a very personal experience that moved them to dedicate their lives to helping others.

Best Care truly provides the best care because the business was built on the foundation of helping people the way they would help their own family. They nurture the business by building reciprocal relationships and incorporating all aspects in-house that are needed to make the business successful.

Kay and Myrrie talk about how they are inspired to “change their family tree” to give their children choices and freedom. They followed their heart and spirit to fulfill a calling and it took hard work and dedication to make it happen, but they never gave up. They are passing on these lessons to future generations. Tune in to hear the full story and be inspired by the change Best Care is making in the community.

Best Care Behavioral Homes provides residential housing for clients that have been certified by the state of Arizona as Severally Mentally Ill (SMI).

Best Care provides a stable home setting to assist clients with community skills, medication management, counseling, activities of daily living and/or other life skills deemed necessary by their interdisciplinary team.

Residents average stay is approximately 6 months.

As numbers 13 and 14 of 14 siblings and the mothers of seven children and six children, Kay Bodude and Myrrie Hayes never imagined one day they would own and operate a multimillion-dollar company.

As early as eight, Kay can remember falling in love with the white uniforms nurses were required to wear.

When she was 22 years old, Kay became a nurse. Myrrie Hayes, on the other hand, has always been a true salesperson, from starting her own candy store delivery in elementary school to selling message-grams in Junior high.

Both of them seemed to flourish with planning, selling, and being social butterflies. Somewhere along the way they realized they had the skills. Event planning, sales, marketing, and networking were some passions and the perfect ingredients to become entrepreneurs.

Their first “legitimate” business was a uniform store. They sold medical uniforms, medical equipment, and school uniforms.

Business expanded to three locations before selling it in 2012 and moving to Arizona. In Arizona, they established themselves a new “home base.

In 2016, Kay and her husband started their own skilled home health company. Three years later they sold it for a nice profit.

During her time with her home health company, Kay noticed a need in the mental health industry and in 2017, Kay and Myrrie, along with 2 partners, filled that need by starting Best Care Behavioral Homes. Best Care Behavioral Homes, LLC, known as BCBH, has grown to be a million-dollar company in under 3 years.

A good entrepreneur has seven streams of income. Along with BCBH, Kay and Myrrie also own Best Care Staffing, Best Care Consulting, Best Care Academy, 321 Event Space Rental, MC Beauty Supply, and KM Management, their joint non-profit endeavor.

Kay and Myrrie are always looking for their next successful venture as they build a lasting legacy for their families.
