Home Care In Ken Caryl, CO
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 the historic Bradford Perley House 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 Ken Caryl, CO is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.
Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.
Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.
The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

“In my moment of need your company was there when I didn’t even knew I”
In my moment of need your company was there when I didn’t even knew I needed you. My mother who lived in another state has late onset Alzheimer’s and was being taken care by my brother. I didn’t expect that my brother would pass before my mother but that was the case. Without the care from my brother, I had to find a suitable memory care facility quickly so I could sell her house and move her closer to me because my mother declined quickly after the passing of my brother and my house isn’t suitable for her condition. I knew very little about the options or the processes needed to execute this very challenging decision. The professionalism and caring of your employees was a life boat in a very dire and emotional decision for my family. Mom is now settled and happy in her new surroundings. I can’t thank you enough for the angels (Alyssa and Nancy) in your company.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Ken Caryl, CO?
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:
Personal 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 Ken Caryl Ranch Community Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
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 Okinawa Sushi or visit Ken-Caryl Ranch Pump House, 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:
Age in Place
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.
Peace of Mind
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.
Socialization
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.
Personalized Care Plan
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.
Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors
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.
Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:
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 Ken Caryl, 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.
Affordable 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:
If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your CO's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.
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 Ken Caryl, 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.
Assisted Living Referral Services
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:
Housekeeping
Laundry
Recreational Activities
Social Outings
Emergency Medical Response
Medication Monitoring
Family Visitation
Personal Care
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:
Brookdale Littleton
Gardens at Columbine
ThriveCare Assisted Living
Meadow Vista Assisted Living at Wadsworth
Meadow Vista Assisted Living at Walden
Lighthouse Assisted Living Inc - Wadsworth
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.
Taking the First Step with Always Best Care
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
01
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive

The cooperative option: In Littleton, buyers have just few chances left for homes with small up-front costs

In Colorado’s runaway market, where you get top dollar for your older place but have a hard time finding a reasonably priced single-level home to replace it, senior cooperatives have become a surprise hit with buyers. They have up-front purchase costs that seem paltry compared to what regular homes go for now; and social amenities and super-low maintenance that people over age 62 want from a downsize home.
Those concepts were already hugely popular in the upper Midwest before arriving in the Mile-High. Developer Real Estate Equities Development, which has popularized co-ops over the past 15 years, already has 41 either complete or under development around the country—including some ten here in Colorado to date.
Early Colorado communities in Lakewood, Centennial and Fort Collins begun in 2018-19 sold out before the pandemic turned up the heat on the market. New ones in Broomfield and Grand Junction are now well on their way and are close to sellout.
Meanwhile, another is headed for a location that’s likely perfect for a senior cooperative—Chatfield, in the heart of the south Jefferson County part of Littleton, surrounded by thousands of decades-old homes in a very popular area of town where residents can sell fast but have virtually no place to go.
At Village Cooperative of Chatfield, with just 55 units and only a few remaining before it starts construction for a 2023 delivery, you can still find 2-bedroom, bath-and-a-half plan with an ‘equity share’ of just $185,000—around half of what the median-priced older attached home was selling for around Denver in August.
The buyer of that unit will get over 1,200 sq. feet of finished space—plus common spaces and amenities designed to foster quick friendships with like-minded neighbors.
Co-ops are NOT like those high-priced senior rental communities with big deposits. With a co-op, you really do own a share of the building and amenities; and get a flat 3% appreciation compounded annually, for whenever you sell. All Village Cooperatives have consistently delivered that appreciation, notes Steve Von Schmidt, Marketing Director.
You then pay a continuing monthly fee that covers much more than typical HOA fees do—the master mortgage, property tax, indoor parking, the grounds and amenities, and maintenance way beyond typical communities—even repair a faucet or change a lightbulb.
On a larger home (2-bed/2-bath, 1,500 sq. feet—just a few remaining) the equity share runs $245,000, and the monthly would be $2,200.
The building site is on Fairview at S. Garrison. You can call Felicia Peterson to arrange an appointment to view what’s still available; or RSVP for a seminar Wednesday, Oct. 20, 1 p.m., at Hampton Suites, off C-470 at Ken Caryl Avenue.

Bear rummages through Ken Caryl resident’s garbage can

KEN CARYL VALLEY, Colo. (KDVR) – A curious little critter was spotted rummaging through some trash in Ken Caryl Ranch early Sunday morning, instigating some reflection upon the importance of bear-proofing one’s residence.
The bear was spotted through the front window of the Ken Caryl residence. Shortly thereafter, one of the residents snapped a few photos from inside the home as the animal snacked on some of the garbage he’d mined from the overturned can.
FOX31 reached out to officials with Colorado Parks and Wildlife asking whether or not the bear sighting had been reported to their office.
“It does not appear that this has been reported to us at this time. It is possible that the report will get forwarded along to us on Monday, sometimes it does not come to us at all,” CPW official Jason Clay responded.
FOX31 also contacted a Ken Caryl Park Ranger, who said that the Ken Caryl Ranch community doesn’t require the bear-proofing of trash cans.
It may not be a requirement but adopting the habit of making your home less appealing to a bear visit is still something that Area Wildlife Manager for the Pikes Peak region Tim Kroening feels is important, especially this year.
“In years where there are natural food shortages, we see more human-bear conflicts,” Kroening said. “It is critical that people do their part and stay ‘Bear Aware.’ Please secure your trash, bird feeders and any other attractants so that bears cannot get to them. Keep your doors and ground-level windows closed and locked. Please lock your vehicles up as bears are smart enough to figure out how to get into them if they smell something tasty.”
Sunday’s sighting follows a recent string of bear-related interactions with wildlife officials across the state. A bear that was recently rehabilitated by CPW had to be euthanized after it found its way into a Teller County home. It can’t be a certainty, but locking the doors may have prevented this from happening.
Another bear was hanging out in a tree in the parking lot of a Loveland Safeway, and eventually needed the help of CPW officials who relocated the bear to the mountains, which they did without harming the animal.
Again, this year’s conditions have led to food scarcity for bears across Colorado, so they are likely to venture further into human habitats. So, be prepared in case a bear near you gets hungry enough to venture into your backyard in search of sustenance.

GarageTown set to expand in Ken Caryl after buying land from Jefferson County

GarageTown, near the Ken Caryl Business Center in South Jefferson County, is gearing up to expand after acquiring just over three acres of open land adjacent to its property at 11619 Shaffer Place.
The company, which specializes in large garages that people own rather than rent, is under contract for the land after agreeing to buy it from Jefferson County for $630,000 in March.
Jeffco has owned the land since 2005 and it had originally been set aside for a substation for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. However, the Sheriff’s Office ended up consolidating the substation with the Motor Vehicle station at 11139 Bradford Road.
The land was later slated to be a library, but funding was never available so the county moved on and put the land up for sale.
“We were no longer going to need it for that purpose, so we put it on the market for the highest and best bidder,” Jefferson County facilities and construction management director Mark Danner said.
GarageTown partner Mike Ard said he was interested in acquiring the land because his business has been booming since opening last year.
He said the company sold 75 out of 84 of its traditional units in a 10-month span from March 2013 to January 2014. By comparison, it took more than 2½ years to sell all 71 units at the Highlands Ranch location that opened in 2008.
“The absorption was phenomenal,” Ard said.
GarageTown has 19 select flex units that allow some owners to have multiple floors. One owner is using his flex unit as a law office, while another is going to have a winery that could have a tasting room.
The newly purchased land will consist of approximately 40 traditional units, which Ard said are the most popular and are common for owners to use as a garage for their classic cars, ATVs, or RVs. Several businesses also own garages for additional storage.
Ard said he is excited to close on the land after the company completes all the necessary requirements. The partners hope to close within 90 days and begin construction in the late summer. Ard added that they have received significant interest about new units.
He added: “We did what we do, and did it very well.”
