In Arizona, the State does not require Non-Medical Home Care business organizations to be licensed through the State. Consequently, anyone can open and operate a non-medical home care company. The lack of licensure by the state creates an industry that has no standards of service, no over-sight, and no criterion of business ethics. The results are a variety of non-medical home care business organizations that deliver their services in  a varied manner, exercising a diverse business ethic delivering those services. As a result of the differences in service delivery and business ethic, the consumer has been and continues to be vulnerable and the industry's integrity suffers.

      The Arizona Non-Medical Home Care Association's focus is to enhance the credibility of non-medical home care provider businesses for consumers by requiring Members of the Association to adhere to the Association's strict standards and code of business ethics. These credentialing standards are available on this web site for consumers and providers alike. The Association maintains that its standards and ethics are a common sense approach founded on principles of consumer protection and advocacy.

    Another important purpose of the Association is to maintain a repository on this web site of business profiles of all the Association's "Members in Good Standing."  Just follow this link: Current Members in Good Standing
