Adultcare Assistance Homecare – Sun City

Adultcare Assistance Homecare is an Arizona-owned agency (not a franchise) that has served seniors since 1996, with this office covering Sun City, Sun City West, Surprise, Peoria, Avondale and Goodyear. Caregivers are employees who receive monthly classroom training on senior-related diseases, and a care manager is on call 24/7. Families can request caregivers by the day or as needed, with nights and weekends only among the popular requests, and the agency says there are no long-term contracts. Families in reviews say care was arranged quickly, in one case with a caregiver at a mother's side in under an hour, and that caregivers are matched by personality.

Services include companion care, bathing and grooming, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, senior transportation, hospital sitting, hospital-to-home help and respite care. Alzheimer's care is offered, and 24-hour care can be arranged either as two awake 12-hour shifts or as live-in care with one caregiver. Caregivers can also help with incontinence care and range-of-motion exercises.

The office is at 10615 W Thunderbird Blvd Ste B-300, Sun City, AZ 85351; the agency also has offices in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tucson. It offers free home care assessments and gives rates after a phone or home assessment; holiday hours are billed at time-and-a-half and mileage is charged when a caregiver drives their own car. The agency is contracted with the VA to provide Homemaker and Home Health Aide services for eligible veterans. Phone: (623) 977-2223.
