From Nicole Phillips:
@azcaretransport celebrating all day long today! So many wonderful surprises!!!! I cannot thank my amazing family and friends enough for all of the love and support through this journey! Come have a cupcake or a cocktail with us. This year has been epic💕🍾🙏
So this just happened…TOP 100 LARGEST WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES FOR PHOENIX!
On 7/14/14, Rodney Malone and I dove off the high dive and purchased this Golden Heart master franchise. There were two of us. Zero business. Startup. We now serve 94 zip codes east of I-17.
Had different corporate and entrepreneurial backgrounds, but a PASSION FOR SENIORS.
We knew home care was a thing because of the “ rather spirited protestations” of my parents who were never leaving their beloved home.
Barbara, my Mom, said “ I am going to live in my own home that I love until my last breath”. And she did that.
We are very proud of our 136 plus employees. All of our team are fully vaccinated.
We are also so very proud of the thousands of families we have been privileged to serve over these years. We have partnered with our valued referral partners and we appreciate them. Here’s to the talented clinical team who are so compassionate to our seniors! We thank you all with deep gratitude.

What do you do each day? You’re probably up and at your parents’ house before they get up. You have breakfast started so that you’re ready to help them with showers and grooming. After they eat and take their daily pills, you clean the kitchen and start the housework. There are beds to make, laundry to do, carpets to vacuum, and surfaces to wipe down. You have sinks to clean, the tub/shower to scrub, and floors to sweep and mop. The tasks seem endless. Before you experience caregiver burnout, learn how to make “let it go” your motto. Bringing in home care providers to help lighten the load is one of the best places to start.
Ease stress through meditation. Put on beginner Yoga or Tai Chi videos and work out to them. If your parents want to join you, let them. These exercise routines are good at strengthening muscle, improving balance, and easing stress.
Journaling, meditation, and dance are all ways to ease stress. Crank up some music and dance around the house while you take care of routine chores like mopping and vacuuming. Your parents may want to join in, which helps improve everyone’s mood on a dreary day.
Get outside and let the power of fresh air and sun help ease stress when you can. A brisk walk around a park or neighborhood can help reduce stress and clear your mind. If there are nature trails nearby, studies show that time spent in nature is the best way to improve your mood.
One of the best ways to avoid caregiver burnout is by making sure there is time for fun activities each day. Set aside an hour or two to do things you and your parents enjoy. They love musicals. Rent a new or old musical, make popcorn, and get some drinks ready. Have a lazy movie afternoon together.
Plan one day a month to go to a local museum or historic site for an afternoon. Stop at a café for lunch and tour the attraction together. When the weather cooperates, you could tour a botanical garden or zoo.
Have fun at home after purchasing some craft kits. Purchase kits to make stained glass suncatchers, embroidered wall hangings, or papercrafts. Work on them with your parents when you have some free time.
How do you free up some time for fun? Stop trying to do everything on your own. Hire professional home care providers to help with some of the daily chores. While you prepare your parents’ meals, caregivers could do the laundry and housework.
Home care aides make it easy to let some things go. You don’t have to be the only one caring for your mom and dad. Enjoy spending quality time with them by having home care aides handle some of the time-consuming daily chores. Call to learn more.

CONGRATULATIONS JEFF AND WILLIAM!
Good afternoon Golden Heart Team! We would like to take a moment and award Jeff and William for exceptional work. They are both receiving a Caregiver Award today. I spoke to two family members of a client last week and they both said, “Laurie, your Company provides care better than Mayo Clinic. And Jeff and William went above and beyond.”
That is a very nice compliment and Rodney/I are very grateful for the hard work and dedication on a very challenging case. CONGRATULATIONS JEFF AND WILLIAM! They will be receiving a bonus for the award! Bravo! Laurie and Rodney
