211 Arizona is proud to offer a variety of free transportation options to the community through our 211 Transportation Hotline. Our current funding provides free rides for heat relief and for caregivers. Unfortunately, other SDOH (social determinants of health) rides are not funded presently, meaning 211 Arizona cannot provide residents free transportation for food, medicine, and other necessities. We are actively seeking funding sources for these vital transportation needs in our community and respectfully request the help of organizations which may be able to assist.
After determining the option that best suits your needs, please call the 211 Transportation Hotline at 1-855-345-6432, or dial 211 and select option 4 for transportation, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily, to schedule your ride!
Hello
My name is Marla Baker
I began Maricopa We Care in 2017, and we have grown throughout Arizona. We have locations in Maricopa, Glendale, Mesa, and Tucson.
We provide in-home care to assist with activities of daily living. We tailor our service to the needs of the individual service plans.
At Maricopa We Care, we strive to provide the best home care services for you and your loved ones. Our goal is to ensure that our clients can stay in their home with dignity and comfort.
We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to home care. That is why we take the time to get to know our clients and develop a unique plan that best suits their needs. We’re proud to share our story and to make a difference in the lives of the people we care for.
Services offered are non-medical. Check the website for services offered.
Affordable rates - 1 hour minimum.
We give seniors the gift of independence through heartfelt companionship and daily in-home help. Through our proprietary process, we match seniors with mature, active caregivers who have a passion for serving others and building lasting friendships. These connections share a mutual interest in hobbies, activities and much more.
The Seniors Helping Seniors® mission is based on two simple ideas:
Seniors Helping Seniors® in-home care services brighten the lives of seniors who can benefit from a helping hand and a friendly smile. Our caregivers, who are seniors themselves, make your life easier by providing compassionate care in the comfort of your home.
Spending time with others is essential to a senior’s mental and emotional health. Keep your or a senior loved one’s mind engaged with meaningful social interaction from a dedicated companion. Seniors Helping Seniors® caregivers are seniors themselves, which makes it easy to form a close bond. Through shared stories, moments and mutual interests, we enjoy nothing more than boosting our clients’ spirits.
It’s common for seniors to need support with daily routines that steer their hygiene and total wellness. Our teams specialize in approaching personal care with dignity and respect. We stand ready to assist with activities of daily living (ADLs), including:
Seniors with memory loss, dementia or Alzheimer’s disease have a broad range of needs, and Seniors Helping Seniors® caregivers bring a professional, empathetic approach to assisting with each of these demands.
We know it takes a great deal of patience and kindness to lovingly guide those facing these challenges. Our caregivers are ready to provide many benefits in these circumstances, from social stimulation to an extra set of eyes and ears in the home. Our goal is to help shoulder the day-to-day burdens so seniors and their families can enjoy a better quality of life.
Our team members are expertly trained to understand the impacts of memory impairment, and they specialize in how to care for seniors with dementia, while assisting their loved ones. We’ll work with the senior and their family to track and report any progression of the condition. We’re here as a valuable component in your support network.
Caring for a senior family member can feel like a full-time job. Nurture a stronger relationship with periodic breaks. Our caregivers step in as reliable companions, offering intermittent or continuous respite care. Seniors Helping Seniors® compassionate respite services are available every hour of the day, even overnight. These much-deserved pauses serve as moments to recharge, ensuring that you and your loved one can thrive together.
If you or a senior family member find themselves in recovery mode following a hospital stay, have Parkinson’s, cancer, COPD, heart problems, sight impairment or another condition that requires some extra assistance, we can help. Our friendly caregivers will work to create an assistance plan specific to you.
We take pride in helping our amazing Veterans, whether we’re assisting with daily tasks or serving as a trusted companion. Our caregivers understand the unique needs of former service members, such as service-related health conditions and mental health challenges. We are also sensitive to the norms and values that often accompany military culture. Whether our caregivers are providing support with chores, meal preparation, light housekeeping, transportation, or other jobs, we’re honored to serve the senior Veteran community with the respect and personalized care they deserve.
Dig into all the comforts of home cooking, with assistance from a Seniors Helping Seniors® friend. Your caregiver can help you with meal preparation. Not a natural in the kitchen? No problem. Your caregiver can also go to the grocery store and cook diet-specific dishes or your favorite foods on their own. We’ll even clean the dishes afterwards!
When tidying up becomes too much of a taxing chore, our caregivers can step in and help. They can assist with tasks, such as laundry, folding linens, light cleaning, dusting, sweeping, vacuuming and more. Our caregivers make it easy to keep your house feeling like home.
Remembering to take prescriptions can be tedious and even difficult. While our caregivers can’t administer medication, they can help keep you on track – from providing reminders to reading labels to opening packaging.
Our caregivers make life easier by taking care of your day-to-day responsibilities. They manage a variety of tasks, from dropping off dry cleaning to mailing letters to picking up personal items from the store. Enjoy the convenience of a trusted friend checking off your list of errands one by one!
Studies show staying social improves mental, emotional, and physical health. Our caregivers can provide transportation to appointments, family gatherings, events, or just a day out on the town. Whether you need a ride to the doctor’s office or a lift to see a friend, we’re ready to drive you. Seniors Helping Seniors® caregivers can even drop you off and pick you up from your favorite destination – like the park, movie theater, or museum. We’re here so you can stay connected.
Keep up with your loved one, even if you’re miles away. Our caregivers provide regular updates, ensuring that distant family members stay informed and reassured. It’s like having a thoughtful friend who eases your nerves and helps you stay in the loop.
Broken bones can lead to serious health issues for seniors. At Seniors Helping Seniors® in-home care agency, we help take every precaution to prevent falls and keep our clients safe. Whether for you or a senior loved one, our caregivers are happy to help identify potential tripping hazards and other injury risks in the home – giving everyone involved great peace of mind.
Need to replace a hard-to-reach lightbulb? Have a wobbly table leg that keeps shaking up meals? Rest assured; we can help. Our caregivers gladly tackle simple handyman projects, common household repairs, and other odd jobs. They’re capable of overseeing minor tasks – like hanging wall fixtures, assembling furniture, and fixing basic leaks. If you need a solution for a more complex job, our caregivers can even recommend a professional to contact.
Even the greenest of thumbs can sometimes use an extra set of hands in the garden. Make yard maintenance a breeze with help from your Seniors Helping Seniors® caregiver. We love to handle mowing, weeding, planting flowers, pruning, and other outdoor projects. The best part? You can join alongside your Seniors Helping Seniors® companion or choose to kick back and soak up some sunshine!
Furry friends bring a smile to our faces and joy to our lives, but meeting their needs can become difficult with age. Seniors Helping Seniors® caregivers know how to keep your pet happy and healthy. From cleaning your cat’s litter box to taking your dog for a walk, your senior caregiver is there to support your four-legged companion. Let the purrs and tail wagging begin!
