Locally Owned. Personally Committed.
Valley of the Sun Homecare was founded with one simple mission: to provide the kind of compassionate, reliable in-home care we’d want for our own loved ones. That mission started with our founder, Jude Tarris, who discovered the deep personal rewards of caregiving while working as a professional caregiver for a large national agency. What began as a part-time job quickly became his calling.
In 2010, Jude opened Valley of the Sun Homecare in Scottsdale, Arizona. Today, we’re proud to be one of the most trusted home care providers in the Phoenix metro area.
Why Families Trust Us
Local & Independent
We're not part of a national chain. We're a locally owned and operated company rooted right here in Arizona. That means personalized service and no franchise fees, so more of your investment goes toward actual care.
Experienced & Vetted Caregivers
Arizona doesn’t require licenses for in-home caregivers, but we hold ourselves to a higher standard. Every caregiver we hire:
Passes a multi-step interview process
Undergoes a 50-state background check & drug screening
Is CPR & First Aid certified
Is bonded and covered by liability insurance
If we wouldn’t trust them with our own family, we won’t send them to yours. Period.
Respected in the Healthcare Community
We’re honored to be a trusted referral partner for hospitals, independent living facilities, hospice agencies, geriatric care managers, and social workers throughout the Valley. Jude has served on the Board of Directors for the Arizona In-Home Care Association (AZNHA) and was named one of Arizona Republic’s 35 Under 35 for entrepreneurial leadership.
Our Values
We believe in more than just care, we believe in community and family values. Here are some local associations we support:
Alzheimer’s Association - Desert Southwest Chapter
Arizona In-Home Care Association (AZNHA)
Home Care Association of America (HCAOA)
Better Business Bureau (BBB) with an A+ rating
A Message from Our Founder
"Finding the right caregiver isn’t easy. You want someone you can trust, someone who will care for your loved one the way you would. That’s exactly why I started Valley of the Sun Homecare. We serve our neighbors here in Arizona with the same care, dignity, and respect we give our own families.
*I know what it’s like to worry about an aging loved one, to see them struggle with basic tasks and feel overwhelmed trying to manage it all. That’s why our team is here: to provide peace of mind and help families enjoy more meaningful time together."
— Jude Tarris, Founder
