In-Home Support Services. Arizona MENTOR's In-Home Support Services are designed to help adults who live with family or other caregivers or on their own succeed in their home environment and participate more fully in community life.
To work as a certified caregiver in Arizona, you must meet the following requirements: Be at least 18 years old. Possess a high school diploma or GED. Complete a caregiver training program approved by the DHS. Pass a written competency exam.
A family caregiver can be someone caring for a spouse or parent, an extended family member, or even a friend or neighbor.
In Arizona, our caregivers are certified with a “Direct Care Worker” certification overseen by the state AHCCCS program. In Colorado, our caregivers meet the state requirements for experience and must pass a hands-on care assessment before coming onto the team.
