CONNECTING NEIGHBORS IN NEED WITH NEIGHBORS WHO CARE- SENIOR HELPERS OF TEMPE FILLS IN THE REST

CONNECTING NEIGHBORS IN NEED WITH NEIGHBORS WHO CARE- SENIOR HELPERS OF TEMPE FILLS IN THE REST

TCAA provides a spectrum of services designed to assist Tempe seniors in need of help to remain at home for as long as possible. 

Home-care is personal support that is provided at home. It is designed to prevent or delay an unnecessary move to a higher level of care. TCAA's cadre of Neighbors Helping Neighbors (our volunteer corps) help seniors with a range of activities that have become more difficult as they age; especially for those who have limited or no support systems to meet these needs. We connect residents in need with those who care. The program would not be possible without the ongoing involvement of volunteers.

MENU OF IN-HOME SERVICES

  • Friendly calls and visits to socialize or check in on participants who may be isolated or homebound
  • Rides to the grocery store or medical appointments
  • Light home maintenance, such as replacing light bulbs, air filters, and smoke alarm or hearing aid batteries, and minor home and plumbing repairs 
  • Lawn maintenance for seasonal needs or special projects such as sweeping, mowing, edging, and gardening

  • Pet care during a temporary period of illness or recovery
