"My experience as a client of Home Instead has been outstanding! My caregiver gives my husband two days off each week. I have depression and need to have someone with me most of the time. She has actually become a good friend while she also does laundry, light housework and goes for walks with me when she is here. She is a very kind person and efficient worker."

"Seniors Helping Seniors has been such a blessing to our family! From Tina's initial home visit, to all the office staff (who promptly & kindly answer all my questions & fulfill my requests), to our consistent, much-adored direct caregiver (Alice)... EVERYONE goes above & beyond to meet my mom's & my needs. We had been with another agency before - they were good, but the consistency was lacking. THANK YOU, SHS staff!! Your professional, empathetic help has made this difficult dementia journey a little lighter load to shoulder."

"There was a time when dad was incontinent. Homewell Senior Care came on in and assisted dad with the living arrangements over at a home. They did it with a lot of class and dad really enjoyed having company there. The people were not only professional but almost like family. They really were very nice. They're not only friendly and professional but they were available when needed as well. They went above and beyond. When dad was in a rehab center down in Vegas, he ended up getting bedsores on his feet. They took dad over to doctors and had to go into a wound care center over at St. Anthony's Hospital. They helped dad get there and back. They're very caring and they made a lot of part of dad's life as pleasant as we could possibly be imagine. He was going through a very difficult time and despite dad's upfront objection, he got to like the people. So it worked out well. "

"I recently needed home care after my total knee replacement after I was discharged from my surgery at OCR in Loveland. Kate paired me with Carey. Carey was amazing and lived up to the ‘care’ in her name. She was attentive to all my needs, and on top of everything before I even thought of it. Here I am two weeks from my surgery (yesterday) and I am able to take care of myself, day and night, at home alone, all because of Carey. She is a CNA and has her masters, knows what she is doing at all levels, making me feel cared for, but more importantly safe."

"Always Best Care (ABC) in Longmont provided outstanding, emphatic service in helping move a family member into a new residence, making possible a higher level of care for her than previously available. In addition to supporting her prior to and through this highly stressful process, ABC, and particularly Madison and Michelle, provided extremely useful advice to us, including recommendations for movers and for a pet fostering service that will care for some of her pets until their new homes can be identified. Throughout the process ABC gave us abundant time and attention. Their recommendations and support were spot-on. We highly recommend them."

"I began looking into homecare before my husband was released from the hospital. I found several qualified facilities. I selected BrightStar. Char stayed in contact with me while we were still in the rehabilitation clinic. Just to let me know they were thinking of me and to offer encouragement. Barbara their RN was efficient and detailed. Even though I was talking too much, she understood my mindset and accommodated me. I had my first CNA caregiver come to take care of my husband. I was blown out of the water. Sophie is professional, efficient, and caring. She took great care of my husband and saw to my needs as well. I called the company immediately and spoke with Uilani. I told her how outstanding Sophie is and thanked her for sending the correct match for me. Patricia helps me in the evenings. She can handle my husband’s moods at night. He gets frustrated at night. Pat can settle him down so he can sleep. They discuss sports to weather. Patricia is amazing. Thank you, BrightStar for attention to detail and qualified staff. "

"My mother is using Preferred Care at Home. They help with cooking, cleaning, helping her get around, mobility, and helping her bathe. The caregivers are caring and conscientious. I'm satisfied. We don't have daily contact with her caregivers, but we have a website we can go on, we can see who her people are, they leave notes about what's going on, and I also have text with the owner, and another one of the people. If I ever have any questions or any concerns, I can text them, and they text right back."

In Fort Collins, home care costs are less than those for skilled nursing care by almost $3,000 per month, but seniors may need to choose the latter if they have significant health problems. Home health care, equal in price to home care, provides some in-home medical services like therapy and medication management. Assisted living offers a cost savings of over $2,100 and may be an option for seniors who do not mind moving into a facility. Adult day programs are on the low end of the cost spectrum at $2,773 but are more limited in services.

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 Fort Collins:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Larimer County Office on Aging Services | (970) 498-7750 | 1501 Blue Spruce, Fort Collins, CO 80524 | The Larimer County Office on Aging Services is the Area Agency on Aging for the region. It serves area seniors age 60 and older by coordinating the services they need to live safely and independently at home. Through the Office on Aging, seniors can get in-home services, help with chores, counseling for care options and support for family caregivers. Seniors can also get help applying for Medicare or Medicaid services through the office. |
| Colorado Low-Income Energy Assistance Program | (866) 432-8435 | 1575 Sherman Street, 8th Floor, Denver, CO 80203 | LEAP is a program that helps seniors and other low-income households in Colorado afford their utility bills in the winter months from November through April. Seniors can qualify for this if they make up to 60% of Colorado’s median income level. LEAP can also offer help with repairing a home’s primary heating system to ensure seniors stay safe when the winter weather hits Fort Collins. |
| Income-Qualified Assistance Program | (970) 212-2900 | 222 Laporte Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80524 | Seniors who qualify for LEAP during the previous season and who use Fort Collins Utilities as a provider for electric, water or wastewater may be able to receive a reduced rate on their utilities through the Income-Qualified Assistance Program. This reduces the rate for these utilities by 23%. It also provides home efficiency education that can help lessen the amount of energy used in the home, which lowers the cost of utility bills. |
| Volunteers of America – Handyman Program | (970) 472-9630 | 405 Canyon Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80521 | Staying safe at home sometimes requires home modification, and seniors can request help with these modifications through the Handyman Program with Volunteers of America. This non-profit group provides safety repairs and minor home maintenance to seniors living on a fixed budget. The labor for these projects is provided at no cost to the participant as long as they’re able to provide the materials. |
| Meals on | (970) 472-9630 | 405 Canyon Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80521 | Meals on Wheels is another program from Volunteers of America. This program has volunteers who deliver frozen meals to seniors in Larimer County who are homebound and aged 60 or older. In addition to the tasty meals, which seniors can keep on hand for days when they feel they can’t cook, Meals on Wheels provides a basic wellness check when the volunteer delivers the food. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times 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.
