VerdeCares services include Medical Transportation, Prescription and Grocery pickup, Mobile Meals, Caregiver Relief, Weekly Visits/Phoning, Medication and Wound Management Assistance, Medical Alert Systems, Medical Equipment Lending Closet, Social Activities to combat isolation and loneliness, Education and Sharing groups, and Care Management. Our Care Management Services are uniquely tailored to meet specific individual needs. Working with the hospital healthcare team, we will assess your needs during your hospital or rehab admission. VerdeCares will coordinate the services and support you need when transitioning home, and if necessary, VerdeCares will provide referrals for outside services. In 2024, VerdeCares assisted 585 neighbors in need, we delivered 1,435 meals and drove 33,023 miles transporting neighbors to medical appointments. Our 911 partnership with the Rio Verde Fire District helps neighbors prepare for a medical emergency. Our care management program hospital-to-home services provide follow-through support to reduce repeat 911 calls and repeat hospitalizations. THANK YOU ALL . . . Neighbors who support our mission here in the Verdes to help those in their time of need. Volunteers who give their time and talents to deliver meals each week to our neighbors, provide medical transportation, and so much more. Organizers and participants for the Valentine’s Day Tonto Cares Gala will be an exciting night of fun with friends.
