The people behind our home care

PROPELLING LIVES FORWARD

If you’ve been searching for a home care agency for your care or your loved one’s care, then you know there is a sea of sameness in the dozens of home care choices, making it difficult to actually choose one. And we know that can be frustrating.

Steve Thompson - Executive Director

Steve Thompson | Executive Director

Hello, my name is Steve Thompson, the Owner and Executive Director of SYNERGY HomeCare’s Phoenix office. Our franchise has been in business since 2005, when we opened the SYNERGY HomeCare Sun City office to serve the Northwest Valley. We are thrilled that with the opening of our Phoenix office, our franchise now serves the residents of a broader part of the Phoenix metro area, including Central Phoenix, the Biltmore area, Arcadia, Moon Valley and North Phoenix.

My wife Dorothy and I have both been through the experience of caring, and finding care, for aging parents, as well as other family members struggling with disabilities and recovering from illness. We know from personal experience how trying that can be and how important it is to find care providers that are truly concerned with providing quality, compassionate care, and respecting the dignity of the individual. I also know from my 30+ years of business experience that those organizations that put the client or customer first are the most successful.

At SYNERGY HomeCare, we strive to be the best. I am extremely proud of our team of caregivers and administrative staff that operate our two offices as an independently owned and operated franchise of SYNERGY HomeCare. We look forward to serving you in meeting the care needs of you and your loved ones.

Life is in constant motion. From the time we smile our first smile, ride our first bike, find our first home or embrace our first grandchild, it just keeps moving. And a moving life is a full one.

And that’s why we are recognized as an organization that shows an unwavering commitment to understanding people’s needs and providing the care option that best adapts to those needs. This is how we keep you and your life moving forward by being intuitively personal.

How we do it:

  • We approach every encounter with compassion, personality and positive energy.
  • We inspire others through words.

We provide full support for fuller lives. Ultimately, we create a feeling of forward momentum, not just in lives but also in the home care industry.

Whether you’re a high-octane octogenarian who just needs a hand, someone confined to bed who needs a little more help, or a person dealing with lifelong disabilities who needs someone to walk beside them on their journey, we’re here to care with whole hearts and open arms.

We know you have questions. And we have answers. When the time is right for you, we would be honored to speak with you. We listen!
