Our Family Caring for Yours
Discover the heart behind Copper Star Home Care and our commitment to bringing warmth, dignity, and peace of mind to Southern Arizona families.
Our Story
Rooted in Compassion and Community
Copper Star Home Care was founded on a simple, yet profound belief: every senior deserves to age with dignity, comfort, and joy in the place they call home. Seeing the challenges families in Tucson faced when seeking reliable care, we set out to create an agency that felt less like a medical facility and more like an extension of your own family.
We draw our inspiration from the resilient beauty of Southern Arizona—warm, enduring, and deeply connected to its roots. Today, we stand as a trusted partner for countless families, providing CNA-led care that never compromises on quality or compassion.

“Shannon not only provided excellent care but helped me understand my health records and advocate for my care with medical facilities. The system can feel complex and overwhelming and I don’t think I would have gotten the medical attention I needed but for Shannon’s help.”
