Total Care Connections (TCC), one of Arizona and Colorado’s largest in-home care providers, is celebrating two major achievements in 2025: earning its ninth appearance on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, and rolling out a groundbreaking caregiver benefits package that sets a new standard in the home care industry.
TCC ranked No. 3,601 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 with a three-year revenue growth rate of 107%, joining the elite 0.5% of companies that have made the list nine times. Since its founding in Tucson in 2009, TCC has grown from a small startup to one of the Southwest’s most admired home care agencies, thanks to continuous innovation, service expansion, and a culture rooted in compassion.
“Our growth is not a foregone conclusion; it’s the result of an incredible team united by a common purpose,” said CEO Daniel Stringer. “We’ve diversified our services and expanded across Arizona and Colorado, but at the heart of it all is our people.”

People-First Culture and Benefits
At a time when 59% of U.S. home care agencies report caregiver shortages, TCC is investing heavily in its workforce. The company recently became the first home care agency in Arizona and Colorado to introduce paid pregnancy disability leave and paid parental leave, ensuring caregivers can start families without financial strain. Nearly 1,000 employees are now eligible for up to six weeks of paid maternity leave and two weeks of paid leave for fathers, adoptive, and foster parents.
TCC also launched on-demand pay through an Earned Wage Access program, giving caregivers the ability to access wages any day to cover urgent expenses. Complementing this is the Total Care Grant Circle, a company-funded emergency relief program that provides tax-free grants of up to $1,000 to employees in crisis. Together with health insurance, 401(k) plans, paid training, and wellness support, TCC now offers one of the region’s most comprehensive caregiver benefits packages.
Innovation and Expansion
Beyond employee programs, TCC continues to expand services to meet community needs. The company recently obtained licensure as a skilled home health agency in Tucson, Phoenix, and Colorado Springs, with plans to launch pediatric home health and long-term private-duty nursing by 2026. Strategic acquisitions and partnerships with organizations like TriWest Healthcare Alliance have further broadened its impact, allowing TCC to serve veterans, seniors, and families across multiple payer systems.
While integrating new technologies such as AI to streamline workflows, TCC remains committed to preserving the human touch. Stories like that of a Colorado client, who described TCC’s care as life-changing after years of feeling “just like a number” with other agencies, underscore its mission of “doing ordinary things with extraordinary love.”
A Model for the Industry
With nine Inc. 5000 honors and a reputation as an employer of choice, TCC has positioned itself as both a growth leader and a workplace innovator. Business leaders and industry analysts note that companies prioritizing caregiver well-being will be best positioned to thrive in the $107 billion U.S. home care market.
“This recognition isn’t just about numbers,” Stringer said. “It reflects the heart of our team and the trust of our clients. By taking care of our caregivers first, we ensure families receive the extraordinary care they deserve.”
