Connections In Homecare & Communities

Connections In Homecare & Communities is a family-owned, locally operated agency run by Denise and Eric Kaye, with more than 12 years of providing in-home care in the Phoenix area. Its caregivers help seniors at home with personal care, companionship, meals, light housekeeping and transportation, and the agency describes itself as specializing in dementia and 24-hour care. The website says respite caregivers can "sit in for as long as needed", from a few hours a day up to 24/7. The agency also runs a free assisted living placement service, so it can help families weigh home care against a move. Families in reviews describe care that grew from three days a week to around-the-clock support, and staff who helped them work through long-term care insurance.

Caregivers help with bathing, dressing, transfers, incontinence care, meals, laundry, light housekeeping, medication reminders and transportation to appointments and errands. The agency offers care for people living with dementia, Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions, and its Director of Client Services has a background in Alzheimer's and dementia care. Shifts run from four to 24 hours a day, including sleepover and awake overnight shifts.

The office is at 3519 E Shea Blvd #102, Phoenix, AZ 85028 (the website lists the address as 3509 E Shea Blvd, Suite 102). The agency serves Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Tempe, Peoria, Glendale, Cave Creek, Surprise, Mesa, Sun City and nearby communities. It starts with a free care consultation and in-home assessment, and says it is a contracted provider for most long-term care insurance companies. Caregivers are trained and vetted W2 employees who are also Arizona-licensed, insured drivers. Call (602) 708-8626; the office staff are available 7 days a week.
