Hopefully, you will grow old. Probably, you will want to live in your home, drive your car, provide for yourself as long as possible. At some point, you’ll need help to remain independent. This is when you’ll call Verde Valley Caregivers.

Perhaps you’ll need a ride to see your doctor or help you shop for groceries. You may need assistance with chores around the house or personal administration. Maybe you’ll just feel lonely and want a visitor to drop by. Our volunteers make a difference in the lives of seniors and adults with disabilities every day by providing a helping hand.

We also provide the Guardian Angel Personal Security Alert Pendant to assure that help will come when needed. All of our services are provided at no charge. That way, clients don’t need to impoverish themselves to get help with simple but essential daily tasks.

It’s a fact – 32.2% of Yavapai County’s population is 60 and older – nearly twice the national average. And, 75% of those 80 and older suffer from chronic illnesses and disabilities that limit their ability to perform tasks such as driving a car and shopping alone. Yet, the overwhelming majority of older adults prefer to remain in their own homes and communities as long as possible and many are simply not able to afford to live in retirement centers or assisted living facilities.

The need for our services is growing faster now than ever before. At the current rate of enrollment we can expect over 400 new clients this year in addition to the 1030 individuals we serve today.

We invite you to join our growing community of neighbors, volunteers, and donors. Please consider serving as together we reach out from our hearts to those who, like us, appreciate a helping hand.
