Two Arizona Home Caregivers Share 2026 Caregiver of the Year Honor

The Arizona In-Home Care Association announced on Nov. 11 that two caregivers will share its 2026 Caregiver of the Year honor: Francisco Martinez of the Tucson area and Fran Tucker of the Phoenix area, EIN Presswire reported. Martinez, with Right at Home of Southern Arizona, once rode through monsoon rain to reach a client. Tucker, a care assistant with Cypress HomeCare Solutions, is requested by name by the families she serves.
The awards were presented at the association's annual conference in Scottsdale, Maricopa County, during National Family Caregivers Month. Association board chair Steve Alfonsi said Arizona is one of the few states that does not license in-home care agencies, so the real standard of care is set by the caregivers who show up every day.
