HandyNurse® knows that caring for seniors isn’t just about completing a single task—it’s about seeing and addressing the needs of the whole person. Founded in Tucson in June 2022 by John Lao, a nurse with over 25 years of experience in healthcare, HandyNurse® was built on a simple belief: seniors deserve care that respects their needs, preserves their independence, and lets families focus on making memories, not managing to-do lists. Too often, traditional caregivers focus on one task—like bathing or medication management—while ignoring the pile of laundry, the broken shelf, or the need for help setting up a new phone. At HandyNurse®, we’re different. We’re the hands, feet, eyes, and ears for Tucson seniors, tackling everything from personal care to home maintenance so they can live with dignity and comfort.
Key Factors of Holistic Care
Preserving Independence: Comprehensive support—whether it’s bathing, assembling furniture, or fixing a leaky faucet—helps seniors stay in their homes longer, avoiding the stress of moving to assisted living.
More Quality Time for Families: Many seniors keep a list of tasks on their fridge for visiting family to handle. At HandyNurse®, we take care of those lists—housekeeping, tech setup, or even escorting to appointments—so family visits can be about connection, not chores.
Boosting Well-Being: Small tasks, like organizing a cluttered room or helping with a DIY project, can make a big difference in a senior’s safety and happiness.
