Interfaith Community Care (formerly Interfaith Services)

The many services offered by the 400 volunteers and 110 employees of Interfaith Community Care are dedicated to helping people remain in their own homes with dignity and independence for as long as possible.

Five areas of services include:

  1. Adult Day Health Centers provide programs for people who are unable to function independently and offer much needed respite for caregivers. Three centers are in Sun City, and one each in Sun City West, Peoria, Wickenburg and Goodyear.

  2. Therapeutic Services to enhance quality of life through individual or group behavioral health counseling. Among issues addressed are loneliness, depression, family/marital problems, substance abuse or dependency, grief and bereavement.
  3. Home Services offers grocery shopping, phone pals, emergency errands, transportation, handyman services and an opportunity for caregivers to take a break.
  4. Care Management Program is designed to ensure coordination of proper service to individuals based on careful assessment of their needs.
  5. Home Care Assistance provides paid workers to help with bathing and dressing, meal preparation, personal care, light housekeeping, errands and companion sitting. Registered nurses supervise all personnel.

The concept of Interfaith Community Care began in 1981 when the Sun Cities Area Ministerial Association, consisting of clergy from all denominations, responded to the need for various social services in a retirement community.

The agency today serves more than 7,000 people a year, many of them utilizing multiple programs on a weekly or a daily basis.

Interfaith Community Care programs are supported by individual and business donations, gifts, endowments, bequests, grants, fees and reimbursements. Some funding comes from the Area Agency on Aging.

Always welcome are contributions and new volunteers to help Interfaith fulfill its commitment to the growing communities of its service areas.
