What a Direct Care Worker Does

Direct care workers go to clients' homes and help them keep living there. In PimaCare at Home's recruiting listings from earlier this year, the duties were spelled out plainly: personal care, light housekeeping, meal assistance, shopping, companion care and accompanying clients to appointments and errands. The agency's own description of its services adds bathing, dressing, grooming and respite relief for family caregivers who need a break.

It is hands-on, one-on-one work, and it suits people who are patient, dependable and comfortable in someone else's kitchen. It is also a common first step toward certified nursing assistant and patient care technician roles for people who want to keep climbing in healthcare.

About PimaCare at Home

PimaCare at Home was established in 2010 as a subsidiary of Pima Council on Aging, the nonprofit most Tucson families run into the first time they need help for an older relative. The agency is based at 600 S. Country Club Road in midtown and serves all of Pima County, including Tucson, Marana, Sahuarita, Green Valley and Ajo. Services are paid for through the Arizona Long Term Care System, private pay or long-term care insurance.

For job seekers, two things stand out. The agency says it provides interactive, in-person training and 24-hour support for its caregivers. And because clients are spread across the county, schedules can flex: earlier 2026 listings for this same recurring event advertised flexible hours and locations.

Pay, Training and What to Expect

PimaCare at Home's hiring-event listings through ARIZONA@WORK in May and July of this year posted a starting wage of $16.00 an hour with no experience required. The September listing on the county calendar names the role but not the wage, so treat $16.00 as the most recent posted figure and confirm the current rate with the recruiter on the 28th.

Pima Council on Aging notes that PimaCare caregivers go through background checks, so expect screening as part of the process. Bring what you need to move quickly if an offer comes.
