Cardinal Caregivers

Cardinal Caregivers provides in-home help for seniors from its Mesa office and also serves Nevada and Utah. Services include companionship, personal care, dementia care, live-in care around the clock and respite for family caregivers. For veterans, the agency works through the VA Community Care Network and Aid and Attendance, and a veteran care coordinator helps families through VA approval before care starts. Families praise caregivers who help with showers, meals, housework and driving to appointments; one family notes that coverage on the west side of Phoenix was limited, so it is worth asking whether caregivers are available where you live.

Caregivers help with grooming and hygiene, mobility and transfers, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, companionship and accompanying clients to appointments. Dementia care includes engaging activities, routine meals and medication reminders, with around-the-clock support offered. Live-in care provides supervision 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The office is at 2929 N Power Rd #101, Mesa, AZ 85215. The agency accepts eligible veterans through the VA Community Care Network and helps with the Aid and Attendance benefit, coordinating hours directly with the VA caseworker. One family reports little coverage in west Phoenix, so confirm availability for your neighborhood. Phone: (480) 285-1906.
