Owned and operated by CEO Wendy Swager, Soreo In-Home Support Services (SIHSS) was established in 2000 to help address the ever-growing need for high quality in home support for aging adults and individuals with disabilities in the Tucson, Casa Grande and Phoenix communities.

Our solid multi-disciplinary team of registered nurses and health care professionals available 24hrs/day, 7days/week, 365 days/year to ensure patient comfort, address loved one’s questions and concerns, and provide education and support to residential facilities and healthcare organizations.

Every one of our staff is committed to promoting dignity and quality of life through the effective management of pain and discomfort, attending to the unmet emotional, spiritual, and social needs of all involved education about the disease process and attending to the emotional, social and spiritual needs of individuals and their loved ones.
