Yes, while we certainly want to encourage as much independence as possible, sometimes our loved ones require more one on one assistance than can be provided in an assisted or independent living community. At Sonoran Valley Home care, our caregivers can provide services to you or your loved one in facilities such as hospitals, long term care, assisted living facilities and retirement communities.

Depending on your needs, the costs associated with in-home care services will vary but, in most cases, will be comparable to or less that the cost of a care facility. Choosing Sonoran Valley Home Care allows you to remain in your home and maintain your level of independence within a safe & comfortable environment. We find that many times our clients rarely need full-time care. We will customize & personalize your care and services to meet your current needs and plan for any future needs as well.

Once our Care Manager completes your in-home assessment, they will determine whether your need is for a companion or skilled nurses aid. Our Care Manager will select the most suitably skilled caregivers based on your needs as well as matching personality and interests. You can access your scheduled caregiving through our online Family Room portal and always know who to anticipate arriving each day.

Sonoran Valley Home Care understands the importance of routine and consistency. We strive to provide the best care with special emphasis on continuity of care and provide regularly assigned caregivers as your plan of care will establish. Consistency is key in reducing anxiety and allows for us to build strong, trusting & lasting relationships with our clients.

Should your caregiver become unavailable, we will ensure that a suitable replacement is found, and you will be notified with as much advance notice as possible.

We understand that there may be times where you need to change your schedule due to outside appointments, family commitments, or anything else that comes up. Our priority at Sonoran Valley Home Care is to make the schedule that works best for you and your family – your needs are important to us and we will always work to accommodate changes in the schedule as they may arise. When you anticipate having to reschedule, contact your Care Manager to add, change, or cancel visits. Our care management team is available 24 hours every day. Please be advised that cancellations made fewer than 24 hours in advance will be charged for the next scheduled visit in that 24-hour period.

Our care management team is available around the clock – 24/7. Your call will be answered or returned by a live representative any time of the day or night.

All parties involved in your care (spouses, POA’s or family members) are invited to participate fully in the planning of your care. We can consult and coordinate with your health professionals as well. Your conditions, health and well-being are monitored closely by caregiver documentation, supervisory visits and regular communication with you Care Manager. A copy of your care plan will be provided to you and the information will be accessible and communicated to each caregiver that is assigned to your case. The caregiver will follow the care plan and notify the Care manager of any changes.

Your Care Manager will conduct regular visits to your home to ensure that:

• You are satisfied, and the care provided is meeting your needs
• You and your family are well informed of any changes

After your Care Manager completes your assessment and has determined the services and schedule that best suit your needs, you will be asked to sign a service agreement. This not a contract obligating or committing you to care services for a specific period of time. However, there is a requirement for a minimum of 24 hours’ notice to cancel services. Anything less than 24 hours will result in being billed for the subsequent 24 hours scheduled.
