Scottsdale is a popular destination for seniors due to warm and dry weather year-round. This beautiful weather is complemented by an abundance of casual outdoor recreation locations like golf courses and parks, particularly McDowell Mountain Regional Park. Scottsdale also has a lot of shopping options and restaurants. The population of residents aged 65 and over is 23% which is 7% higher than the national average.
Scottsdale has many quality home care agencies that can make it possible for seniors in the community to age in place more gracefully. These agencies charge an average of about $25 per hour according to the Genworth 2018 Cost of Care Survey. Both in-home care and home health care have the same average monthly cost of $4,767. Care in Scottsdale is somewhat more expensive than the national average of $21 per hour for homemaker services and $22 per hour for light medical care.
Note: Home care cost data wasn’t available for Scottsdale, so data for the closest city, Phoenix, was used.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Scottsdale area – complete with types of care provided, services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled a list of resources to help seniors and their families access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

We hired some people from Devoted Guardians to come in once or twice a week. They actually do anything that we want them to do. My mom lives with my sister. They’ll come in and just socialize with her, they’ll fix her anything she wants to eat, and they’ll help her shower or do some cleaning if we want it. So my sister can do some errands or just get some time away. Everything is very good. Mostly what I get is feedback from my sister, and she’s just very happy, and it’s been a good relationship all the way around. There’s a contact person in there they check up on regularly so they’re in communication.

They do a great job ensuring that the caregivers for my dad are the right fit. And they are receptive to any concerns we have or issues that come up. There is nothing cookie-cutter about what they do – they consider each client as an individual, and they are experts at making sure that both patient and caregiver are comfortable and happy in the situation. They also keep the family well informed of any changes or suggestions – regarding schedules or personnel on their side, or things the caregiver might notice or be concerned about regarding my dad. We could not ask for a better partner in my dad’s care than the Cave Creek Home Instead. – Gretchen R.

I would like to share my families experience with Preferred Care at Home of Scottsdale. Our family tried to keep our mom at home when she was developing Alzheimer’s, thinking that was the best thing. We all traded off the days of care but it became evident that mom wasn’t really getting the best of care because we had jobs, business deadlines we had to meet, along with our own families to care for. Therefore, we started the task of finding a care at home business that was up to our expectations for her care. We had heard of Preferred Care at Home of Scottsdale from some of our friends and set up a meeting with them. Sherman G, the owner, met with us and answered all of our questions, plus gave us a couple of references to talk to. Well, after that, we were satisfied that this company would be a great company to care for our mom. They cared for our mom for several years until the time came when she had to have greater care in an assisted living facility. Preferred Care at Home of Scottsdale deserves a 5 star rating as to the complete care they gave to our mother plus the caregivers that gave her such wonderful care.

My mom was adamantly opposed to having people in her house when she got home from the hospital, and it took quite a bit of convincing to get her on board. Now she doesn’t want them to leave!
Not only did they provide immediate (same day) care under stressful circumstances, they have far exceeded all of our expectations with regards to her personal care, keeping us aprised of day-to-day events (we all live out of state), recommendations for additional and alternative solutions and making my Mom feel safe and well cared for. We will always be grateful to the people at Griswold.

We got Zion Senior Care for my brother. It was kind of hectic in the beginning. I feel like they weren’t really organized as far as having people there to help. The caregiver that we finally got was excellent, and she’s just a godsend. Unfortunately, we’re having a hard time finding a second person, and they didn’t have enough people on staff. Originally it was supposed to be seven days a week, but it’s cut back drastically. We have somebody there from 9:00 to 4:00 Monday through Friday. The same person watches the weekend, and we cut the weekends way back, but we’re hoping to find somebody who can do the weekends.

Scottsdale Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Scottsdale:
Address: 10440 E. Via Linda, Scottsdale, AZ 85258
Phone: (480) 312-5811
The Beat the Heat Program is run by the Via Linda Senior Center and is designed to bring much-needed supplies to home-bound seniors during the intense summer months. These items can include bottled water, nutrition supplemental drinks, healthy snacks, personal hygiene items and cooling relief products like ice packs and mini fans. Volunteers are responsible for donating items and deliveries are made by staff with the Department of Human Services. During visits, the staff can evaluate a senior’s situation and make additional recommendations for assistance.
Address: 7700 E. Roosevelt St. Suite #107, Scottsdale AZ 85257
Phone: (480) 312-2224
Operated out of the City of Scottsdale’s Granite Reef Senior Center, this food relief program provides a weekly delivery of groceries for seniors in the area with low incomes. These bags are filled with proteins, fruits and vegetables and bread products that can supplement a fixed income. Significant funding is provided by Scottsdale Community Partners, and volunteers are essential to the execution of the program. Between 200 and 300 seniors benefit from this program every year.
Address: 6535 E. Osborn Rd., Building 8, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
Phone: (480) 312-7156
The city of Scottsdale provides several different housing rehabilitation programs. Low-income seniors who qualify can improve their energy efficiency, get critical repairs to their roofs and get the emergency work they need to keep their home livable. Seniors can also request modifications to their homes that allow them to age in place. The income limit for a household of one is $40,850. Applications can be submitted online or through the mail. Contractors are picked by program staff based on a bidding system.
Address: 301 West Jefferson, Suite 100, Phoenix, Arizona 85003
Phone : (602) 506-8511
Seniors in Scottsdale who are enrolled in the Senior Property Valuation Protection Program, which freezes the value of homes for property tax purposes, for at least one year may also be eligible for an additional tax credit from Maricopa County. This credit only applies to seniors who live in an organized school district. The County Treasurer determines exactly how much primary school district taxes are credited for each particular homeowner according to the amount of money in the fund. Manufactured and unsecured mobile homes do qualify.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
