It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting Golden History Park in Golden, CO gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Golden, CO is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“Always Best Care has been helping us for almost 4 years. We have had a routine schedule for Amber or Tina to come to our house, where they have become an important part of our family and needed help with caregiving and light housekeeping. Both of them are reliable and exceptionally caring. When my husband needed to move to Memory Care, Nancy Hemming spent so much time with us visiting facilities and teaching us about different models. She is so knowledgeable and was essential help when we didn't know how to approach the search. At times, during acute health problems, we needed daily and sometimes around the clock care. Always Best Care did a remarkable job of finding people to help, sometimes on very short notice. Most recently, Tina knew of my upcoming surgery and changed her own schedule so she could be with me daily following the surgery when I needed extra help. I continue to be stunned about how very caring and helpful everyone has been during these years. I have referred friends and will continue to do so. Thanks for everything! Update in 2025: another year with Always Best Care. Tina Rosinski continues to be so helpful. She's such a hard worker and sees things to help that I haven't noticed. I can't even remember what it was like before she came. Thanks so much Tina!”

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Lions Park in Golden, CO with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Abejas or visit Golden History Museum, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Golden, CO, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Golden, CO understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Golden, CO 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

It’s been four years since Gov. Jared Polis trumpeted the promise of the Global Energy Park near Golden as a future state-of-the-art laboratory — one that would position Colorado and Jefferson County as “leaders in the future of energy.”
But the hopes contained in those lofty words from his October 2021 announcement have dimmed as the 9.3-acre, state-owned parcel has continued to sit vacant. In recent months, the state instead has begun eyeing the site, which lies in the shadow of the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Lab, for an apartment complex.
It’s a shift that vocal neighbors in the Pleasant View neighborhood on the edge of Golden are calling a “bait and switch.” They consider it an affront to residents who had reluctantly come to terms with a lab being built there — but not a busy residential building that could stand as tall as eight stories.
“An eight-story building is nothing like what we have in our neighborhood,” said Adrian Waller, the president of the Pleasant View Metropolitan District and a 31-year resident of the neighborhood. “It would have people 24/7 that would also be using the park.”
He was referring to Pleasant View Community Park, directly adjacent to the Globeville Energy Park site. Laura Cardon, who has lived in the neighborhood for five years, said it has served as a vital natural refuge in an increasingly busy part of the county.
“This is the only big area set aside for nature,” she said, pointing across a tangle of trails to a row of mature trees towering over Lena Gulch. “This is where my kid learned to ride his bike.”
Lu Cordova, who heads up the Global Energy Park in her role as Polis’ strategic planning and projects adviser, declined to respond to a number of questions sent to her by The Denver Post last week.
But in early August, she spoke to the Jefferson County commissioners as the housing plan at the Glo Park site first emerged.
The state, Cordova told the county leaders, still would like to pursue the Global Energy Park — which had commonly been referred to as “Glo Park” in shorthand — as a place where players in industry, government and academia come together, in partnership with NREL. The goal has been to establish and nurture a one-of-a-kind research and innovation campus.
But the arrival of the new Trump administration, which slashed 114 positions at NREL in Golden in May amid an aggressive effort to trim federal funding for renewable energy initiatives, prompted her office to explore “pivoting” away from the project.
Chris O’Keefe, Jefferson County’s planning director, put it more bluntly at that same meeting: “There’s a shift that’s taken place at the federal level that’s causing Lu and the state to look at this project differently.”
Also competing for attention, Cordova told the commissioners, is the governor’s long-standing zeal for increasing the availability of affordable housing in Colorado. The land near NREL could serve that purpose, she said.
“We also recognize that, right now, the demand for housing is reaching crisis proportions all over Colorado,” Cordova told Jeffco officials.
That didn’t mollify Pleasant View neighbors, like Nancy Pate, who attended that August meeting and beseeched the commissioners not to sign off on housing at the Glo Park site.
“Now we’re going to throw something else at you that completely doesn’t fit in your single-family and duplex residence kind of neighborhood,” Pate said. “My front yard would be apartments.”
Despite Cordova’s assurances to the county commissioners that the potential housing plan for the site was “so premature,” her office issued a Request for Qualifications from prospective developers. The deadline for submissions to the state was Oct. 1.
This week, Cordova told The Post that two of the submissions she received “have been shortlisted” and that those developers will be interviewed “for viability.”
Jefferson County’s planning and zoning department has not received an application for the site. But at the end of the day, it is not up to the county what goes in there, said county spokeswoman Cassie Pearce.
“While that application will be either approved or denied by the Planning Commission, the state has the authority to override that decision,” Pearce said. “Ultimately, the county does not have final say on how this land is used.”
However, the county’s understanding of a recent land swap involving the site “was based on the proposal that the land would be used for lab space by NREL or NREL partners,” she said.
The Glo Park site came into state ownership through a complex land swap executed a few years ago in an area known as Camp George West, which once served as the Colorado Army National Guard’s only permanent training facility. The area just off South Golden Road still hosts the Colorado State Patrol Academy and a former prison.
The long and short of the exchange was that Jefferson County ended up with 160 acres on and around South Table Mountain, while the state received the nearly 10-acre parcel it wanted for the Global Energy Park.
There was even a gathering at the governor’s mansion of government officials, business leaders and representatives of research institutions in spring 2023 to draw up a grand vision for what could happen at the Glo Park. Greg Venn, the CEO of Denver-based NexCore Group, said then that a groundbreaking could happen the following spring.
NexCore, the company tasked with developing the Global Energy Park, told The Post last week that it couldn’t comment on the situation.
A spokesman for NREL said the agency wouldn’t be able to respond to questions during the federal government shutdown, which began Oct. 1.
No final decisions have been made about the site, said Shelby Wieman, a spokeswoman for the governor’s office.
“The state is exploring a number of different options, including housing paired with park improvements, to best utilize this plot of land,” she said. “We look forward to continued conversations with community members on the best path forward.”
In the meantime, Pleasant View neighbors are gearing up for a fight.
Last month, 100 or so residents showed up for a community meeting, according to a website established to monitor the situation.
Cardon, who also serves on the Pleasant View Metro District’s board, takes particular issue with language in the state’s solicitation of developers that indicated its efforts at the site were “aimed at transforming underutilized State-owned land into a vibrant community.”
“It’s already a vibrant community in Camp George West,” Cardon said. “It’s a really nice eclectic mix of houses.”
And more are coming, Waller said. The metro district president said 600 housing units are in the pipeline for Pleasant View, on top of the 2,200 already there. Adding hundreds more in an apartment complex that he and others see as not fitting with the neighborhood’s existing housing stock — and which could strain the Pleasant View Fire Protection District’s ability to provide service — is not wise or wanted, he said.
“It’s high-density housing and we don’t have high-density housing,” Waller said.
Waller and his neighbors want the state to take a breather before making any final moves in the Pleasant View neighborhood. Maybe conditions will improve for building the Global Energy Park, he speculated.
“Be patient,” he said, expressing hope that the state would hold out until Polis’ original vision became viable again.

An aerospace startup that aims to provide a method to build living and industrial structures in space, communications systems and solar arrays to beam energy to Earth has opened its headquarters in Golden.
Rendezvous Robotics formally started in November 2024 after about eight years of developing and testing technology that uses programmed tiles that autonomously assemble themselves to form modular structures and reconfigure when needed. Strong magnets help the tiles click in place.
The tiles can be stacked in a rocket and released at their destination to start forming a structure. During a TED talk in April, Ariel Ekblaw, inventor of the patented technology and co-founder of Rendezvous Robotics, said her team jokes the process is like “a glorified” PEZ candy dispenser.
The magnets bring the modular tiles together to “dock, to rendezvous,” Ekblaw said. “Think about space Legos with magnets that click, click, click into place.”
The company opened for business a few weeks ago in Golden. Rendezvous recently secured $3 million in pre-seed funding to commercialize the technology invented while Ekblaw was at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The funding was led by Aurelia Foundry and 8090 Industries, with participation from ATX Venture Partners, Mana Ventures and a group of other investors. Most of the company’s 10 staffers, including Joe Landon, are in the Denver area.
Landon, Rendezvous co-founder and president, has worked for other aerospace companies, including Lockheed Martin in Jefferson County. He first met Ekblaw through his work at Lockheed. He, Ekblaw and Phil Frank, co-founder and CEO of Rendezvous, settled on the Denver area as the company’s home.
“It wasn’t just convenient that Joe was there and that there is a great talent pool in the Denver metro area in aerospace and defense, but a lot of people wanted to move there,” said Frank, an experienced technology executive and self-described serial entrepreneur who lives outside of Boston.
Members of the Rendezvous team previously worked for NASA and such companies as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Lockheed Martin and Nokia. The company is looking at serving clients in both the commercial and defense sectors and was keeping an eye on whether President Donald Trump would move U.S. Space Command out of Colorado.
Last month, Trump announced that Space Command would be moved to Alabama, reversing the Biden administration’s decision to keep the headquarters in Colorado Springs. The decision didn’t deter Rendezvous from locating in Colorado. Landon said there’s so much space and defense activity and military facilities stretching along the Front Range, from Boulder to Colorado Springs.
“Quite a few of the folks that we will need to talk to are still going to be here,” Landon said.
The staff could grow by as many as 50 people within a year, Landon added. And in the next year, Rendezvous expects to demonstrate its technology on the International Space Station. The technology called TESSERAE — Tessellated Electromagnetic Space Structures for the Exploration of Reconfigurable, Adaptive Environments — has previously been tested on the space station as well as in low Earth orbit and on flights simulating weightlessness.
The goal is to more easily build infrastructure in space. A significant obstacle now is being able to get the building blocks where they’re needed.
“What we’re looking at is an alternative to the way we build spacecraft systems today, which is we have to build them on the ground,” Landon said. “And we have to design them to be folded up and then unfolded once they get into space because they have to fit into a rocket.”
The International Space Station and James Webb Space Telescope took numerous trips to space to construct, Frank said. Astronauts building the space station were put in harm’s way, he added.
Using Rendezvous Robotics’ technology, Frank said the company can progressively send more and more material up and build bigger and bigger structures. He said the company will try to use more consumer electronics to make the process faster and less expensive.
“We’re not going to use a person with a joystick sitting on the ground,” Frank said. “We’re going to program the software to be able to figure out how to do it on its own.”
During her TED talk, Ekblaw said applications of the technology might include building factories to manufacture products such as therapeutic drugs that are easier to manufacture in a low-gravity environment. “It turns out that in microgravity protein crystals grow differently. Certain types of tissues grow faster or mature better.”
Another possibility is to assemble thousands of solar panels in orbit, Ekblaw said. Sunlight could be captured and beamed to Earth, even at night.
Ekblaw founded the Aurelia Institute, a nonprofit space architecture research and development lab, education and outreach center.
The conditions in low orbit, 100 to 1,200 miles above the Earth, can make for easier manipulation of materials, speed up development cycles and provide new insights into research on cures for diseases because cell cultures grow differently. More businesses are interested in taking advantage of the properties of space, according to a report by McKinsey & Company.

Bengals DC Al Golden doesn’t want excuses when it comes to the young age of some defensive players and commented on the idea that they might be experiencing growing pains in their new roles.
“The opponent doesn’t care,” Golden said, via Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. “The standard doesn’t change irrespective of their age. We’ve got to eliminate some of those errors and continue to utilize them in the roles they do best. There are no excuses. The only thing that matters is performing and executing at a high level. Obviously, we had too many lapses yesterday.”
“For whatever reason, we cannot get rid of the inconsistent (plays) that break your back,” Golden added. “And I gotta break through there and give them a path to success there — that’s on me — and just eliminate those plays. There’s really great things on the other side of that, if we can just eliminate a couple of those plays. They end up being catastrophic for you.”
Bengals HC Zac Taylor also called for the defense to step up and be less hesitant during games.
“It’s being a step hesitant, and so maybe you’re not missing a tackle, but you are missing a tackle because of the little hesitancy there,” Taylor said. “So those are things that I think we’re seeing as a unit, as a team, that we’ve got to clean up and be better at. We want the guys playing fast, playing with energy, playing with passion, and if there is hesitancy, we have to get rid of it fast.”

Elite Visa Thailand Co., Ltd., an authorized General Sales and Services Agent for Thailand Privilege memberships, reports increased interest in Thailand’s long-term residency programs as high-net-worth individuals worldwide seek alternative relocation destinations beyond traditional European golden visa markets.
The Thailand Privilege Visa, informally known as the Thailand Golden Visa, has emerged as an attractive option for wealthy Americans and international citizens pursuing secure residency options in Asia. This trend reflects a broader shift toward lifestyle-based immigration programs in Latin America and Asia, as global citizens diversify their residency portfolios.
For comprehensive information about the Thailand Privilege Visa program, interested parties can visit https://www.elitevisa.com/thailand-elite-visa-overview/ to explore membership options and requirements.
Thailand has positioned itself alongside Singapore as a strategic relocation hub in Asia, offering a combination of luxury living, advanced healthcare infrastructure, and internationally recognized hospitality services. The country provides a more affordable yet equally high-quality alternative to Western golden visa destinations, attracting digital entrepreneurs, retirees, and families seeking long-term legal residence.
“The Thailand Privilege Visa represents a significant opportunity for global citizens looking to establish a stable base in Southeast Asia,” said Rex Baay, Senior Immigration Consultant at Elite Visa Thailand Co., Ltd. “We’re seeing unprecedented interest from professionals and retirees who recognize Thailand’s unique blend of tropical living and modern infrastructure, combined with the security of multi-year residency.”
The Thailand Privilege Visa, officially administered by the Thailand Privilege Card Company Limited under the Tourism Authority of Thailand, offers five membership tiers. Bronze membership provides 5 years of residency for THB 650,000 (approximately USD 18,000), while Gold membership extends to THB 900,000 (approximately USD 25,000) for the same period. Platinum membership offers 10 years for THB 1.5 million (approximately USD 42,000), Diamond provides 15 years for THB 2.5 million (approximately USD 70,000), and Reserve membership, available by invitation only, extends to 20 years for THB 5 million (approximately USD 15,000).
Members receive Privilege Points redeemable for luxury experiences and exclusive services, along with VIP fast-track services at major airports and concierge assistance for government processes including bank account openings and driver’s license issuance. Additional benefits include privileged access to partner hotels, golf courses, spas, and wellness retreats, plus invitations to cultural and networking events organized by Thailand Privilege.
The program appeals to diverse demographics, including global citizens seeking Asian bases, retirees prioritizing healthcare and safety, remote workers requiring long-term legal stay options, and families planning relocation for international schooling. Thailand’s economy benefits significantly through visa holders’ spending in real estate, hospitality, and tourism sectors.
Elite Visa Thailand Co., Ltd. serves as an authorized General Sales and Services Agent for Thailand Privilege memberships, providing full consultation, document review, and application management services. The company specializes in immigration services for individuals seeking extended stays in Thailand, offering expertise across all membership tiers.

DENVER (KDVR) — It sounds delicious — a Golden burger, but this is no golden-flaked burger, this is a burger from Golden, and it’s the best in Colorado, according to a study by Only in Your State, a tool for identifying the “best of’s” in each state.
The survey had to pit the best burgers in a state against one another, and only one was able to be crowned the best of the best.
Golden’s Bob’s Atomic Burger reigned supreme, with Only in Your State saying:
“Bob’s Atomic Burgers is a local favorite in Golden, Colorado. It makes burgers the old-fashioned way: fresh-ground beef patties cooked to order, not premade or frozen. The place offers a “build-your-own”-style burger where you fill out a burger sleeve specifying your bun, cheese, and toppings, with options including green chiles, grilled onions, fried egg, bacon, and specialty sauces.
“Bob’s also caters to non-meat eaters: there are quinoa and black bean burgers available. One of its specialty offerings is the White Bronco, topped with a hashbrown patty and blue cheese.”
For the burger lovers of Colorado who may be interested in a nationwide hunt for delicious burgers, some of the most unique burgers from other states include:
California is massive.
It has cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego that attract travelers from all over the globe. However, the best burger in the state comes out of an unsuspecting place called Leggett, way up north, almost into Oregon.
Even more unsuspecting than the location is the burger joint itself. A small redwood structure that is held together by wooden pegs — something the restaurant’s name pays homage to.
The Peg House offers burgers, including:
Kuma’s Corner has the unique tradition of naming each of its burgers after legendary metal bands and uses unique, hearty toppings.
Signature burgers include the Kuma, which is made with applewood-smoked bacon, cheddar, a fried egg, lettuce, tomato and red onion on a pretzel bun.
Another favorite is the Plague Bringer, with deep-fried blackened chicken tenders, cheddar, bacon, Belgian waffle strips, maple syrup drizzle and raspberry aioli.
The restaurant also offers an ever-developing Burger of the Month.
The oldest listed joint in the survey. The Workingman’s Friend has had plenty of time to develop its delicious flavors.
The restaurant has been in operation for over 100 years, serving the Indianapolis community since 1918.
Nothing fancy, just a good classic American burger is available on the menu that also features different offerings aside from burgers.
Just make sure you don’t take your credit card with you because, like the restaurant itself, the owners operate old school and only accept cash. A true survivor of the ages.
