Types of Care Services Available

Non-medical support covers a wide range of help, depending on how much assistance a loved one needs and where they are in their health journey. Here are the most common types of care families in this area ask about.

What It Typically Costs

In this part of Arizona, non-medical in-home support typically costs roughly $32 to $40 per hour. The exact rate depends on the number of hours needed, the level of care required, and whether overnight or live-in coverage is involved.

Every family's situation is different, so it is worth getting a specific quote from a local provider rather than relying on averages alone. When we match you with an agency, they can walk through your loved one's needs and provide a clearer estimate.

Paying for Care

Most families here pay privately, out of pocket, using savings or retirement income. Some long-term care insurance policies reimburse for services provided by a professional agency, so it is worth reviewing any existing policy closely.

Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for the VA Aid and Attendance pension, which can help offset costs. It is important to note that Medicare does not cover ongoing non-medical, custodial support, so families should plan accordingly when budgeting.

How to Choose a Trusted Local Agency

Arizona does not have a separate state license category specifically for non-medical home care agencies. The Arizona Department of Health Services licenses home health agencies, which provide skilled medical care, but non-medical, private-pay support operates differently.

Because of this, it is especially important to ask any provider how it screens and background-checks caregivers, what kind of training caregivers receive, and whether the agency carries insurance and bonding. A reputable provider should answer these questions clearly and without hesitation.

You should also ask how caregivers are matched to clients, what happens if your regular caregiver is unavailable, and how communication with family members is handled. These questions help you gauge reliability before committing to services.
