Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Aurora:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seniors’ Resource Center | (303) 238-8151 | 3227 Chase St., Denver, CO 80212 | The SRC offers care teams that can visit a client’s home and assist with meal preparation, bathing, errands and maintenance or cleaning services on an infrequent basis. The day center program of this organization specifically gives seniors opportunities to socialize and enjoy recreational activities while in a space that’s safe. It’s also open to elderly people with dementia. |
| Chore Services and Home Repair of Arapahoe County | (303) 738-8080 | 1690 W. Littleton Blvd., Littleton, CO 80120 | This program is operated by the government of Arapahoe county and available to residents of Aurora who live inside the county’s boundaries.

Volunteer helpers arrive to change linens, clean ovens, clean windows or floors and perform other home cleaning tasks. Elders who apply must be 60 or older and meet income guidelines to be eligible. Chore services for outdoor yard work and major external home cleaning are also offered. |
| Arapahoe County Veteran Services Office | (303) 738-8045 | 1690 W. Littleton Blvd., Suite 110, Littleton, CO 80120 | This additional program of the Arapahoe County government, which covers a large part of Aurora, offers veterans and their families assistance in finding and applying for state and federal benefits programs.

| Colorado Weatherization Assistance Program (CWAP) | (303) 866-2100 | Colorado Energy Office, 1600 Broadway, Suite 1960, Denver, CO 80202 | The federally and state funded Colorado Weatherization Assistance Program is available to all low income residents of the state but shows preference for the elderly and families. Applicants who already receive Aid to the Needy and Disabled (AND), Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP/LIHEAP) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) support are automatically eligible. The program insulates and air seals homes while also repairing furnaces, refrigeration equipment and storm doors at no cost. Those making less than $34,840 as a two-person household or $25,760 individually can apply. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.

Review of Touching Hearts at Home
They could get her up, but my understanding was they weren't allowed to do that. They have all been pretty decent.
