Right at Home – Arcadia-Phoenix/Scottsdale

This Right at Home franchise office, opened in 2019 by local owner Chris Slagle, serves the Arcadia, Phoenix and Scottsdale area with companion care, personal care and specialty care for conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Its respite care is offered by the hour, so family caregivers can step away for coffee, an appointment or a nap, and care can range from a few hours a week to 24/7. Caregivers are trained and bonded and insured, and supervisors make periodic home visits. Families say the office takes care in matching companions, and one client quoted on its website mentions a two-hour minimum; another family booked four hours each morning for a visiting parent during a week-long trip.

Caregivers help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, grocery shopping, transportation, dressing and hygiene, mobility and medication reminders. Specialty care covers Alzheimer's, cognitive and dementia care, Parkinson's and diabetes, plus help during and after hospital stays. Respite care follows the loved one's care plan and can run from a few hours a week to 24/7.

The office is at 2929 N 44th St Ste 340, Phoenix, AZ 85018. Care starts with a free in-home assessment, followed by a personalized care plan and a matched caregiver. Respite is billed on an hourly basis. Phone: (602) 800-6758, answered anytime.
