At Arizona Golden Care, we are dedicated to enhancing the lives of seniors in Yuma with our comprehensive care services. Founded in 2015 by lifelong Yuma resident and healthcare advocate, Maria Hernandez, our company was born out of a desire to provide compassionate and personalized care to the elderly in our community. Maria’s experience caring for her own aging parents inspired her to create a service that not only meets the physical needs of seniors but also supports their emotional and social well-being. Our vision is to set a new standard in senior care by integrating innovative solutions with a deep understanding of our local culture and values.
We believe that a well-balanced diet is crucial for maintaining good health and vitality in seniors. Our Nutrition Specialist, Sarah Thompson, crafts personalized meal plans that cater to the unique dietary needs of each client. With a background in dietetics from the University of Arizona, Sarah ensures that our clients receive meals that are not only nutritious but also delicious.
Getting around Yuma has never been easier with our Concierge Transportation service. Led by David Lee, a Yuma local with a background in logistics, our transportation services ensure that our clients travel safely and comfortably. Whether it’s a doctor’s appointment or a social outing, we are here to help.
Our Health Manager, Linda Garcia, specializes in chronic disease and medication management. With her extensive experience as an RN from Tucson, Linda provides expert care and guidance to our clients and their families. We focus on managing health conditions effectively, allowing seniors to enjoy a better quality of life.
Proper medication management is essential for the well-being of seniors.

Arizona Golden Care typically offers a range of non-medical in-home services and assisted living support. This includes assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, as well as companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and medication reminders.
Yes. Professional senior care agencies in Arizona are required to be licensed by the state, bonded, and fully insured. This ensures that both the caregivers and the clients are protected and that the care provided meets Arizona’s health and safety regulations.
Caregivers undergo a rigorous vetting process, which includes background checks, reference checks, and verification of certifications (such as CPR and First Aid). In Arizona, many caregivers also hold the Direct Care Worker (DCW) certification, which requires specific training in elder care, ethics, and safety.
Most senior care services in Yuma offer specialized Memory Care. This includes caregivers trained to manage the unique challenges of dementia, such as wandering, agitation, or confusion, through specialized engagement techniques and safety protocols.
Yes. Care is not limited to private residences. Caregivers can often provide supplemental care in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, or assisted living communities to ensure your loved one receives one-on-one attention that the facility staff might not be able to provide.
Generally, home care services are designed to be flexible. Most providers offer service agreements rather than long-term “lock-in” contracts, allowing you to increase, decrease, or pause services as your loved one’s needs change over time.
Respite care is designed to give primary family caregivers a break. Arizona Golden Care can provide temporary or short-term care—ranging from a few hours a day to a full week—allowing family members to recharge while knowing their loved one is in safe hands.
While standard health insurance and Medicare often do not cover non-medical home care, many Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) policies do. Additionally, veterans may qualify for the Aid and Attendance Benefit, and some Medicaid programs (like ALTCS in Arizona) may provide coverage for those who qualify financially and medically.
