Since 1972, we have assisted older and disabled adults to continue to live with dignity and independence in the residential settings of their choice. They receive:

• Professional in-home assessment of needs
• Consultation with all involved parties
• Personalized plan of care
• Arrangement and coordination of needed services
• Advocacy to obtain medical care and benefits
• Ongoing monitoring of services and participant needs
• Assistance in planning alternative living arrangements
• Arrangement for other in-home services such as financial management, home care, housekeeping, personal care, transportation and yard work.

We also provide: service coordination and linkage to benefits to the residents of the City of Tucson’s subsidized housing complexes, and grocery shopping services for people who have difficulty shopping for themselves.

Private Care Options
Sooner or later, we all need a little help to live with dignity and independence in our own homes. Most of us do not qualify for publicly funded programs, and navigating the maze of care options can be intimidating. Our Family offers affordable assistance to keep older and disabled adults safe and well, while easing the burdens on those who make decisions about their care. Call Jessica Sautter at (520) 323-1708 x. 223.
