"Seniors Helping Seniors One of the most difficult life decisions we are faced with is “when do your parents need help even though they don’t want it.” The tough part is how to find the right situation and how do get it done. Seniors Helping Seniors help and guidance made the process much easier. Thank You! Seniors helping Seniors care of my Dad and his girl friend was excellent. The professionalism of your group was so refreshing in the overwhelming world of eldercare. I cannot tell you how nervous we were having caregivers coming in to help my Dad and Edith. The resistance from these two love birds was formidable. They did not want the help and wanted their privacy—in the past it got ugly—they were so upset at the idea of “a stranger” in her home. I was astonished how well the caregivers handled themselves with the “kids” (95 years old). All of a sudden they were clean and the house began to shape up and they loved your “ladies”. What a difference they made in the lives of all of us who care about Dad and Edith. When Edith passed, your people handled the situation with the skill and caring of a Doctor and counselor combined. I was so impressed and relieved that “you all” were there for Edith, Dad, and us family members. Caregivers stayed until I found a “Nursing Home” for Dad. You even helped with nursing home recommendations. I am so thoroughly impressed with you and your organization’s outstanding performance. Your communication, billing, and cooperation was exemplary. You are so easy to work with and have very well run organization. Your focused was on Dad and Edith’s care, and, yet, you kept me informed. It made me feel so much better knowing you were there for them. I credit you with my sleeping better. I strongly recommend you and your team. If your prospective clients would like to talk to me, I would be glad to share my experience. Jerry Holsinger "

"Home Helpers Home Care of Larimer County has been with me now for almost two years and I really appreciate their assistance. They do a great job and it's like somebody from your own family comes to visit you and they're so close and so articulate in the assistance they serve you with. Much appreciated. I look forward to the close relationship that develops with people who are providing assistance that is much needed in terms of your improvement in your health and welfare. They really work closely with physical improvement. On my part, that's very important, learning how to walk (for instance) in terms of their overall assessment and practice with different methodologies of walking. Their scheduling is flexible if something comes up and you need to change something. I have three different people working with me from that company and they all seem to be learning from each other and communicating with each other as to things that work with giving you assistance. They're very articulate. As far as their line of operation that they have, it's flexible and offers opportunity for change and gives support to other people who may be members of the family that need indirect kind of assistance from them. They also offer flexibility in that way."

"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. "

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.
