Home Care in Paradise Valley, AZ

The town's own annual report describes Paradise Valley as a residential community set in the mountains between Scottsdale and Phoenix. The Census counted 12,658 people here in 2020, and about a third of them, 32.7%, are 65 or older. Some 95% of homes are lived in by the people who own them.

Those are houses people have spent years making their own. When getting around starts to get harder, most would rather have help come to them than leave the house and the view behind. That's what home care is for.

A caregiver can help with a shower, getting dressed and moving safely from the bed to the chair through personal care. For someone who spends a lot of the day alone, companion care brings conversation, a game of cards, a drive to the store and a walk at a comfortable pace. Cooking, laundry and keeping the kitchen in order are part of our home help for seniors.

Paradise Valley was incorporated in 1961, and it's a town of homes more than shops. Once someone stops driving, a caregiver who can take them to appointments, the pharmacy and lunch with friends keeps the week from shrinking.

Camelback Mountain rises on the town's southern edge. Its trails are a City of Phoenix park, with trailheads at Echo Canyon and at Cholla, reached from Invergordon Road. Mummy Mountain sits in the middle of town, and the Paradise Valley Mountain Preserve Trust protects about 320 acres on top of it. That land isn't open to the public, so the mountain is something you look at rather than hike.

For a lot of families, that view is part of why they stay. A morning on the patio with coffee and the mountains in early light can be the best part of the day, and a caregiver can make sure it still happens.

The Paradise Valley Police Department runs You Are Not Alone, known as YANA. It's for residents with limited mobility, a disability or other circumstances who'd benefit from a daily welfare check. An automated system calls each member at a set time every day. If there's no answer after two more tries, dispatch makes a final call and an officer goes out to check. Signing up takes an interview, an application, an emergency contact and a Knox Box so police can get in during an emergency.

The department also runs Vacation Watch for homes left empty for a stretch. The form goes in at least seven days before a trip, and a watch can last up to six weeks. That helps when the person you care for spends a few weeks staying with family.

A daily call is a good safety net. It doesn't make lunch or help with a shower, and that's where our visits come in.

Several hospitals are a short drive away. HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center on East Osborn Road is open around the clock and is a Level 1 trauma center verified by the American College of Surgeons. HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center on East Shea Boulevard has 434 beds, and Mayo Clinic Hospital is on East Mayo Boulevard in north Phoenix.

The first days home after a stay can be the hardest. Our post-hospital care covers that stretch, with help in the bathroom, simple meals and a ride to the follow-up visit. For memory loss, dementia home care keeps the day calm and familiar. The medical side stays with their doctors.

We set a schedule with you before the first visit, whether that's a few mornings a week or every evening. We also come out to neighboring Scottsdale, Phoenix and Fountain Hills. Every town we serve is on our service areas page, and every kind of help we offer is on our home care services page.
