Phoenix families can use a free 72-hour caregiver video-profile matching service to go from a short care-needs form to vetted caregiver profiles they can review together. This page explains each step so you know exactly what happens after you submit a request, what you will receive, and how to use the profiles to choose in-home help.
How Does Free 72-Hour Caregiver Matching Work in Phoenix?
Free 72-hour caregiver matching in Phoenix starts with your form, continues with a review of vetted caregivers who can serve your household, and finishes with video profiles sent within 72 hours. You do not have to cold-call providers or sort unscreened applicants on your own. The service is built for families who need a clear, fast way to see real caregiver options.
Matching is a fit-finding step, not a medical appointment. It does not diagnose a condition or replace guidance from your relative's own clinicians.
Step 1: Complete a Short Care Needs Form
You start by completing a short form that describes who needs care, where they live in the Phoenix area, which days and hours matter, and what kind of help you want. Useful details include mobility, bathing or dressing, meals, medication reminders, overnight coverage, language preferences, and whether memory-related routines are part of the day.
You can request companion care for conversation and household presence, personal care for hands-on help with daily activities, or a mix of both. If you are planning a return from the hospital, note discharge timing so matching can consider hospital discharge care.
Step 2: Your Request Is Matched to Vetted Caregivers
After you submit a complete form, a matching team reviews the request and compares it with caregivers who have already been vetted for in-home work. Profiles are not sent until that review is done, so your family is looking at people who can actually cover the skills and schedule you described for Phoenix.
Vetting happens before you see names and videos. You still decide whom to interview and whether anyone is the right personality fit for your home.
Step 3: Receive Vetted Caregiver Video Profiles Within 72 Hours
Within 72 hours of a complete form, you receive video profiles of matched, vetted caregivers. A video profile lets you see how a caregiver presents themselves before you spend time on phone calls or in-person meetings. Families often share the videos with siblings or a spouse so everyone can weigh in.
Matching itself is free. After you review profiles, you choose whom to speak with, ask about availability in Phoenix, and decide whether to start care. There is no obligation to hire from the first set of profiles.
What Types of In-Home Care Can You Match in Phoenix?
Phoenix families can match caregivers for companionship, personal care, memory support at home, respite for family caregivers, and around-the-clock coverage. Name the care type that matches the hardest part of the week on your form, even if you later add hours.
If a relative cannot be left alone overnight, ask about 24-hour live-in care. If you are the primary family caregiver and need a break, request respite care. For Alzheimer's disease or another dementia, you can ask for memory care at home so routines, safety, and familiar surroundings stay in focus.
Who Uses Caregiver Matching in Phoenix?
Adult children, spouses, and other relatives in Phoenix use matching when an older family member needs reliable in-home help and the family does not want to start from a blank search. Phoenix has 192,844 residents age 65 and older, 19,588 residents age 85 and older, and 51,393 seniors living alone, with a median household income of $77,041, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Those figures describe the city's older population. They are not a count of people with dementia. A senior living alone may still want a few companion hours, help with bathing, or a plan for evenings. Household income can also shape whether you start with part-time help or look at public programs alongside private matching.
