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.

“The Denver South office of Always Best Care provided senior care services to our mother for almost two years up until Mom passed away. The care providers they provided did a superb job of caring for Mom while running errands, taking her to her doctor appointments, making sure she took her medications and occasionally taking her to the hospital for medical emergencies. The office staff did a great job of maintaining the care providers schedule so that Mom would always have the same two CPs every week. Neither my brother or I lived in the same town as our mother so she needed in home care providers if she was going to be able to stay in her home. Without ABC's services, Mom would not have been able to remained in her home up until the time of her passing. Because of ABC and the tremendous service and care of their care providers and office based staff, Mom was able to fulfill her goal of living in her beautiful home until the end. Thank you ABC of Denver South!”

It is hard to find the high quality care that parents deserve and ABC definitely hit it. The care coordinator Kathryn made sure our needs were met and it happened instantaneously. Also, the care givers were exceptional and made sure my mother was always comfortable”
“We are so happy we chose Always Best Care as our care agency. My mother and father both were very fragile and we brought Always Best Care into the home and they created a safe and loving environment for our parents. Once my father passed Cindy was very instrumental in helping navigate our family to find a community where our mom could have quality of life and be comfortable. We will always be grateful for the compassion and love that Always Best Care Denver South provided.”
“Thank you for the staff of Always Best Care Denver South for being such a huge help and being part of our family for so many years. We can't thank you enough for the care and love that you showed to our dad. You brought quality of life to him in is last years. We will always be grateful.”
“Very professional, and helpful. Cindy K. did a great job of helping my Mom move from a very poor assisted living situation to one where she can be happy. Cindy took the time to assess my Mom's situation, and then made placement recommendations based on what my Mom and her family needed. Based on assessment data, Cindy found four AL vendors for Mom to visit. Cindy setup the appts, and attended the tours with Mom and family. She made sure that what she exposed Mom to was within her ability to pay, and were places with good reputations for care/services. Once Mom chose a vendor, Cindy kept tabs on the process and even followed up after Mom was moved into her new home.”

“My family needed to find a new home for my grandma. She had been residing in a 55 and older community and her care requirements increased significantly. Honestly, we had no idea where to look, what to look for, what questions to ask, and even more so, what to do when her money ran out. Jerry was a HUGE help in this. He took something that was extremely emotional and stressful and made it very simple. He really did care where my grandma ended up. Not only is she in a great place now, but because she loves her home her assisted needs have decreased because she is happier and healthier. This could not have been possible without Jerry. Our family thanks you for giving us our Grandma/Mom the life that she deserves. You have brought Senior Care to a whole new level”
“Simpy IDEAL. We couldn't have asked for better care. Each individual, from my very first call to those who came to check on us all in Hospice, was genuinely caring and devoted. God Sends, every one!!”
“I am a past client of this provider Incomparable! ABC's care of our Father was above and beyond anything we could have imagined - Each Home Care provider brought such gentle, sensitive, capable talent to our entire family. We were thoroughly exhausted and feared bringing an 'outsider' in to care for Jack. But OH! What a GIFT it was to have ABC join our efforts. Don't wait- We wish we'd called sooner!”
“Dear Tom and Staff, Our family is so appreciative of each of you! Your dedicating, caring Care Givers will be forever in our memories. You all added quality to Maurice's life. Thank you - plus your cards and phone calls of sympathy”
“This company is amazing. When I met Cindy, my mom was in acute care and we needed a lot of help. She sat down with me to figure out what services we need and since that time, we have had nothing but wonderful people coming out to care for my parents. in addition, the schedulers are amazing and will make sure we have help even if we call last minute. You will be very happy with this company if you need help caring for a loved one.”
“I am a current client of this provider Everybody in this company is amazing. From the moment I met Cindy, I have had nothing but relief with my parents as they ensure my parents are well taken care of. From making meals to light house keeping and errands, my parents are getting everything they need. When we need someone in a pinch, we can trust that someone will be there and everyone is so nice and caring!!! Thank you Always Best!!!”
“Always Best Care Denver South provides outstanding care and placement services. They truly care for both their clients and staff! Best care in town.”
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.

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.

Mill Valley Pasta Co. has released their newest exclusive pasta shape, Ponte d’Oro, a custom pasta shape inspired by the Golden Gate Bridge. The name Ponte d’Oro is a literal translation of “The Golden Bridge.” A video announcing the release has gone somewhat viral on the social media platforms TikTok and Instagram, garnering more than thirty-five thousand views in 24 hours and prompting the pasta to sell out on its debut weekend.
Mill Valley Pasta Co. worked hand in hand with Giacomo Reni San Francisco’s Pastabiz, a company based in the Mission which specializes in pasta production tools and equipment, to finalize the design. The custom brass and bronze die was then fabricated by one of the few remaining die makers in Italy. Reni and Mill Valley Pasta Co. had previously worked together to create a custom die to make a Dachshund-dog-shaped pasta that Mill Valley Pasta Co. calls “Cagnatini.”
The Ponte d’Oro pasta is available at both of Mill Valley Pasta Co.’s retail stores in Mill Valley and their Factory Store in San Rafael, as well as at all farmers market stops (6 weekly), and on their website (www.millvalleypasta.com).
About the Business: Mill Valley Pasta Co. specializes in bronze-cut dried and fresh extruded pastas made with Organic Semolina, and their selection of more than 90 different pastas are often uniquely flavored with ingredients like saffron, porcini mushroom, squid ink, truffle, or local vegetable and herb purees sourced from the farmers markets they also vend at. Their pastas are made in small batches (15 to 35 pounds at a time), and are air dried slowly in open-air drying racks to allow for a superior texture.
Mill Valley Pasta Co. was launched in the summer of 2020 when Chef Tony Adams was furloughed due to Covid-19. Adams offered to make pasta for his neighbors as something to keep himself busy, and when they asked if they could start paying for it, Adams decided to design logos and a name for the project, assuming that it would be incredibly temporary. News quickly spread on social media outlets such as Nextdoor, Facebook, and Instagram, and the pop-up continued to grow and spread and launched at local Marin farmers markets in Novato and Fairfax in early 2021. Mill Valley Pasta Co. currently operates and vends at 6 weekly farmers markets in the Bay Area including: San Rafael / Marin (Thursdays and Sundays), Larkspur Landing (Saturdays), The Ferry Plaza (Saturdays), Clement Street San Francisco (Sundays), and Oakland Temescal Market (Sundays).
About the Owner: Chef Tony Adams is the owner if Mill Valley Pasta Co. Prior to launching MVPCo, Adams was the Director of the Cooking School at Cavallo Point Lodge in Sausalito, California, where he instructed more than 150 corporate and public cooking classes each year during his tenure, which started in 2016. Before Cavallo Point, Adams was the head chef at restaurants in Hershey, PA, and Nantucket, MA and owned and operated the award-winning and much lauded Big Wheel Provisions and the Big Wheel Mobile Food Truck in Orlando, FL. Adams also spent more than five years as an instructor at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Orlando and as a personal chef for families and professional athletes in and around Central Florida.

Molson Coors Beverage Co., owner of Colorado’s famous Coors brand, hired a longtime company insider as its new CEO.
The board of directors voted to name Rahul Goyal, Molson Coors chief strategy officer, as CEO and president, the company announced Monday.
He will begin his new role on Oct. 1.
Goyal will succeed the previous president and CEO of six years, Gavin Hattersley, who will remain on until the end of 2025 to assist in the leadership transition.
Under Hattersley’s leadership, the company moved its headquarters from Denver to Chicago in 2019.
Goyal has worked for the company for 24 years, beginning his time there in Golden with Coors Brewing. He started out as a group manager in 2001, according to his LinkedIn profile.
“Rahul has strong institutional knowledge given his time with the company and more importantly, he is eager to bring new thinking with a focus on future growth,” stated board Chair David Coors. “The entire board is confident that Rahul’s leadership will drive long-term results for Molson Coors.”
The new CEO said in the announcement that he’ll share more of his plans to grow Molson Coors in the coming months.
Goyal held several executive roles, including chief information officer for Molson Coors’ office in the U.K. and chief financial officer for the company’s office in India. He also ran commercial operations at Coors Distributing Co. and helped manage The Yuengling Co., according to Molson Coors.
The company said in its announcement that Goyal has been instrumental in growing Molson Coors’ portfolio by leading its “Beyond Beer” initiative, such as working with Coca-Cola to develop Simply Spiked and Topo Chico Hard Seltzers. He also was part of Molson Coors’ acquisitions of energy drink ZOA and nonalcoholic cocktail brand Naked Life.
“Rahul has delivered meaningful growth in new spaces for the company thanks to his ability to build partnerships that align with the company’s strategic priorities,” said board Vice-Chair Geoff Molson in a news release.
Molson Coors was formed in 2005 after the merger of Molson and Coors. The company brews some of the biggest beer brands in the U.S. such as Coors Light, Miller Lite, Coors Banquet, Molson Canadian and Blue Moon Belgian White.
Coors was founded in 1873 in Golden by Adolph Coors. The Golden brewery produces about 9.7 million barrels a year and employees nearly 850 people, according to Molson Coors.

Golden Heart Waste Management started in 2019 with a straightforward mission: to provide Fairbanks and the interior of Alaska with reliable, customer-first waste solutions. But in Alaska, “straightforward” is rarely simple. From servicing dumpsters along the ice road to hauling refuse hundreds of miles across remote terrain, the company has built a reputation for doing whatever it takes to serve its community.
Today, Golden Heart is recognized as the 2025 CO—100 Top Honoree in the Culture Champions category for redefining what waste management can mean in one of the country’s most challenging environments.
Running a waste company in Alaska means overcoming challenges few in the industry will ever face — vast distances, harsh conditions, and limited infrastructure. The state’s geography requires crews to work in extreme conditions, sometimes traveling up to 400 miles at a time to reach a single customer.
“My guys might be gone for two or three days … [to] get a single can in the middle of nowhere,” explained CEO John Thies, adding that his employees go “above and beyond” to serve customers in remote areas. In certain cases, truckers are even helicoptered in to reach dumpsters along the ice road.
For customers, that kind of dedication means knowing their waste will be handled no matter the obstacles — and that Golden Heart will connect them to recycling and disposal networks that would otherwise be out of reach.
At Golden Heart, taking care of customers starts with taking care of employees — a philosophy that’s rare in the waste industry and even harder to maintain in Alaska’s demanding environment.
“[It’s] a great group, a great culture, [and a] great community,” Thies said, noting that many employees have stayed with the company for four, five, or even six years despite the external conditions.
The company has put its philosophy into practice by designing break areas for employees’ children, staggering schedules around hunting season each year, and offering generous PTO policies to accommodate the realities of life in Alaska.
Thies credits their employee retention to a simple approach: “just working with our employees and understanding that life in Alaska is different.” He also pointed to his leadership team for shaping the culture.
“[They] have just done an awesome job at retention of employees and … making a great culture,” Thies said.
Golden Heart supports broader community initiatives as well. The company partners with nonprofits to provide low-cost or no-cost waste services, and it invests in education through initiatives like launching recycling programs in schools. A pilot project with Fairbanks’ West Valley High School alone helped divert more than one million pounds of recyclables from landfills while inspiring students to lead peer-to-peer sustainability campaigns.
At Golden Heart, taking care of customers starts with taking care of employees — a philosophy that’s rare in the waste industry and even harder to maintain in Alaska’s demanding environment.
Golden Heart’s service portfolio is broad — from commercial front-load dumpsters and roll-off containers to residential bins and medical and biohazard disposal. These offerings make the company a trusted partner for everyone from small businesses to the U.S. Army. Still, the challenge lies not in the waste itself, but in where it ends up.
“Because we’re in Fairbanks, we don’t have the infrastructure to handle some of that waste stream,” Thies noted. “A lot of stuff actually gets shipped out [to the] lower 48 to get rid of because … we don't recycle in Fairbanks directly.”
To meet these demands sustainably, the company has embraced technology. Its trucks use real-time data to optimize fuel efficiency, GPS dispatching to prevent missed pickups, and AI-enabled cameras for greater visibility and improved safety on the roads. By cutting idle time and streamlining routes, Golden Heart has managed to lower its carbon footprint while continuing to serve customers spread across remote areas.
Because of its unique and dedicated approach, Golden Heart’s impact goes far beyond waste management. This company and its close-knit team connect isolated communities, protect Alaska’s fragile environment, and lead with purpose.
