Long-Term Care Resources
With an 18-year track record of assisting families in need, we’ve compiled a list of need-to-know resources in terms of senior living in Arizona that have been pre-approved by the Options for Senior Living team. These individuals or service providers have been vetted on the grounds of transparency, helpfulness, ethics, and quality. The below resources lend a helping hand to those in need of more information with regards to:
Non-Medical Home Care
Designed to provide support to seniors with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as cleaning, cooking or medication reminders. Non-medical home care refers to all care administered by a caregiver who does not have specialized medical training. An example of non-medical home care would be if a caregiver visits a senior at home every other day of the week to assist with preparing a meal, loading the dishwasher and helping him/her get in and out of the bath. Below, our list of vetted non-medical home care providers:

Home Health and Hospice Care
Designed to provide seniors with a wide range of health care services administered in the comfort of their own home by a caregiver. Home health care provides medically necessary services which have been prescribed by a physician. An example of home health care would be if a skilled nurse visited a senior at their home to administer post-op therapy. Hospice care, on the other hand, focuses on compassionate care to enhance the quality of life for seniors who are experiencing an advanced illness. An example of hospice care would be if a caregiver visited a senior in the final stages of their life at home to ensure their pain levels are under control, and that they are as comfortable as can reasonably be expected.
