Volunteer drivers can be scheduled to drive residents to medically related appointments (doctor/dental visits, therapy sessions, etc.) when they are unable to provide or procure such rides themselves.
We are limited by the number of your neighbors who are willing to assist, thus the service is not intended to cover repetitive, standing appointments of an ongoing nature. The service is free to PC residents.
We maintain a supply of canes, walkers, crutches, wheelchairs, knee scooters and ramps - available for loan to residents. In order to manage our inventory, your loan period will be established for up to 6 weeks. The load period can be extended subject to the availability of items.
Southwest Lending Closet in Avondale is available to provide other types of items or for longer loan periods.
An important volunteer role at Kare Bears is that of the Unit Coordinator This person is a neighbor - typically in your unit - who serves as an immediate contact point to Kare Bears, supplementing Kare Bears House and our web site.
The Coordinator is available to assist with explaining and arranging Kare Bears services. Your Coordinator can also arrange for Kare Bears to announce the death of a resident, and provide a food platter for a related family function.
Contact the Coordinator if there is other assistance Kare Bears may be able to offer.
The House, located at 15383 Cheery Lynn Rd. on the Eagle’s Nest side, is your in-person point of contact with Kare Bears.

A dedicated team of trained volunteers staff the House during business hours for contact in-person or by phone.
They handle your requests for transportation or for equipment loan, and answer questions about Kare Bears services and associated arrangements.
Our phone number (623-536-1200) will record your message if you call after-hours - for processing the next working day.
Kare Bears Presents programs are educational presentations offered most months on topics relevant to the well-being of PebbleCreek residents. Meetings are typically held on a Wednesday at 11:00 AM in the Eagle's Nest Ballroom.

Our Alzheimer's/Dementia support group are gatherings of people who have a connection to dementia, such as caregivers and family members. The group can provide a safe space for people to share their experiences, emotions, and practical advice. It can also help people feel less alone and improve their mental and emotional well-being.
Our Support Group has two monthly activities:
1. A Breakfast social at the Eagle’s Nest Restaurant on the first Saturday of every month at 9am to give the group a light-hearted opportunity to keep in touch. Each participant will pay for their own breakfast but prior registration through our website www.karebears.org will be needed to reserve the space.
2. The Support group meets every third Saturday of the month in the Milan Room in Tuscany Falls. Meetings starts at 9am and occasionally will have guest speakers. Walkins are welcome.
