The History of Dependable

Founded in 1992 with just three employees, Dependable Health Services began with a bold vision: to revolutionize home healthcare by embracing technology and expanding the ways care is delivered. The belief was simple—patients recover better in the comfort of their own homes, improving outcomes while reducing costs. What started as a small team in Tucson has since grown into a trusted network of over 800 dedicated professionals, serving communities in Tucson, Phoenix, Nogales, and Las Vegas.

Over the years, Dependable Health Services has provided compassionate, high-quality care to more than 200,000 patients. But beyond the numbers, the company takes the greatest pride in the trust it has built—patients and their families rely on their expertise, and their team remains committed to excellence in every home they enter.
