Highlighting Our Senior Care Services
At Placita In Home Care, we recognize that all seniors have different needs, lifestyles, and levels of ability. That’s why we don’t take a ‘one size fits all’ approach to our elder care services in Tucson, AZ. We meet with each family and work with them closely to identify their needs, goals, concerns, and vision for their family.
We can then recommend an appropriate level of in-home care services. Our in-home care services for seniors allows them to stay in the comfort of their own home, while getting varying levels of professional assistance from our friendly, knowledgeable staff.
We offer assistance with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, personal hygiene, light housework, medication management, transportation to medical appointments, and grocery shopping. Call us today or contact us online to schedule a consultation for in-home care services.

Seniors & Falls – Managing the Risk at Home
As your loved one ages, they are more and more at risk of a fall inside or outside the home. Even a minor fall can have devastating consequences on your loved one’s physical, emotional, and mental health.
Injuries sustained in a fall are very hard to heal from once you reach a certain age. In-home care services can protect your loved one’s health and safety and reduce the risk of accidents, injuries, and falls. We also offer free home safety evaluations.
This evaluation can identify risky areas of your home and help you find simple, effective, and affordable solutions that will make your home safer for seniors. We walk through the inside and outside of the home, looking for common trip hazards and safety issues. We can then recommend a list of measures you can take to make your home a safer, healthier place for a senior.
