Understanding In-Home Care
What Is Essential Care?
Essential Care is the foundation of our in-home support. It’s designed for individuals who want help with everyday tasks, gentle support around the home, or a familiar face to check in regularly.
Whether you’re recovering from a procedure, managing a chronic condition, or simply looking for a little extra help to stay independent, we tailor your care plan to fit your lifestyle and preferences. Care can be scheduled part-time, full-time, or adjusted as your needs evolve.
Essential Care may include:

- Help with bathing, grooming, and dressing
- Mobility support, transfers, and fall prevention
- Incontinence care and toileting assistance
Everyday Support
- Friendly conversation and social engagement
- Light housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation
- Support with errands, groceries, and transportation to appointments
Recovery Support
- Help during recovery from illness or surgery
- Medication reminders
- Routine monitoring of comfort, hydration, and activity
Respite for Families

A Family’s Experience
“We were overwhelmed trying to care for my mom after her fall. Brightwood stepped in with a CarePro who treated her like family—helping with bathing, cooking, even sitting and doing puzzles with her. It changed everything.”
— Lisa R., daughter of a Brightwood client in Paradise Valley
