Here's the help Meridian Home Care brings into homes in Gilbert and across the Valley. Each of these in-home care services works on its own or alongside the others, and the schedule follows the person's day.
Personal care is the hands-on help: a shower on the shower chair, getting dressed, help in the bathroom and changing briefs. A caregiver offers a steady arm from the bed to the walker and reminds about medications through the day. Our personal care page covers bathing, transfers and safety in more detail.
Some days the biggest need is good company and a ride. A companion shares coffee and a card game, drives to the doctor's appointment or the pharmacy, and brings home the groceries. Feeding the dog and watering the patio plants before the afternoon heat are part of companion care too.
Family caregivers need rest too. We cover an afternoon, a weekend or longer so you can sleep, see your own doctor or get away for a bit. Learn how respite care works.
Nights can be the hardest part of caring for someone at home. An overnight caregiver is there for trips to the bathroom at 3 a.m., a glass of water, and a calm voice when sleep won't come. When one shift isn't enough, we set up round-the-clock or live-in care.
Memory loss tends to go easier with a steady rhythm to the day. Our caregivers keep routines familiar, redirect gently when things get confusing, and help make the house safer with night lights and clear paths. Read more about memory care at home.
When a hospice team is caring for someone at home, we add the everyday hands around them. A caregiver helps with bathing, meals, fresh sheets and quiet company, so the family can sleep or simply sit together. Here's how our hospice and comfort support works.
The first days home after a hospital stay or surgery can be shaky. We help with getting up and moving, a shower, simple meals and rides to the follow-up visit. Our post-hospital care page explains what that help looks like.
Parkinson's, diabetes, arthritis and the after-effects of a stroke can turn an ordinary day into a lot of work. A caregiver takes on the tiring parts, like getting dressed, cooking to the diet the doctor set, and short walks around the house. Find out more about chronic condition support.
A house that runs smoothly makes everything else easier. We cook meals, keep water handy through the summer heat, wash and fold laundry, change the sheets, and keep the kitchen and bathroom clean. It's all part of our home help for seniors.
Behind all of these caregiver services is a schedule someone has to keep straight. There are visits to cover, doctor's appointments to work around, and a pharmacy pickup on Thursday. We handle that planning and fit care around the rest of the week.
We also keep the family informed. When needs shift or something about your loved one's day seems different, we let the right people know. Then we talk through what to change. Family across town and family three states away can both know what's going on at home.
Meridian Home Care provides non-medical care: the everyday help with bathing, meals, company, errands and getting around. We remind about medications, but we don't hand them out or manage them. Shots, wound dressings, therapy exercises and anything else a doctor orders stay with your doctors, nurses or hospice team. Our caregivers fill the hours around that care, and the two work well side by side.
The cost of care comes down to how much help, and when. Hours matter most, since a few visits a week and daily shifts add up very differently. Overnight care and live-in care change the cost too. So does how much hands-on help the person needs, like help in the bathroom or getting in and out of bed.
We go over cost and payment on the call, before any care begins, so you can plan. There's also 10% off for active and retired military, first responders and teachers.
Questions
Yes. A morning visit might cover a shower and breakfast, and an afternoon might be errands and company. A few nights a week could be overnight care. We put it all into one schedule so nobody has to juggle it.
You don't need to sort that out before calling. Tell us about their day: when they're steady, when they struggle, and what's slipping around the house. We'll suggest a starting point and adjust as we learn more.
We care for families in Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler and Queen Creek. We also come out to Scottsdale, Phoenix, the West Valley and Pinal County, and we set those schedules ahead. The full list is on our service areas page.
Then we start with that one thing. Plenty of people turn down home care assistance in the shower but say yes to a ride to the store or help with the laundry. Once they're used to having someone around, the help can grow at their pace.
