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 Prairie Sky Park in Lone Tree, 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 Lone Tree, 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.”

“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.”

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”

“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 Prairie Sky Park in Lone Tree, 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 Seasons 52 or visit Sweetwater Park, 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 Lone Tree, 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 Lone Tree, 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 Lone Tree, 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.

October is ON, and American craft brewers are celebrating the onset of Halloween season with a frightening roster of new beers that will keep things fun as the nights grow longer.
A Welcome Return (Kansas City, MO) – Boulevard Brewing has returned a classic after more than a decade on hiatus. Inspired by ultra-creaminess that have long defined the nitro-infused style Boulevard’s Nitro Dry Stout is a 4.9% ABV Irish Dry Stout with roasty malt aromatics, dark chocolate and espresso notes, a crisp, dry finish and subtle bitterness at the backend..
“We’ve recently seen a surge in popularity and demand for Irish-style dry stouts, and luckily, we had a familiar recipe sitting in our archives. Nitro Dry Stout is a legacy favorite that long-time fans of the brewery will remember well,” said Boulevard’s brand manager, Adam Hall. “Each sip offers an honest, heartfelt experience brewed with patience, purpose and deep respect for the style that inspired it.”
Boulevard Dry Stout was first produced in 1996, but its return comes a new packaging option: 16-ounce Nitro cans, thanks to updated packaging technology. And we couldn’t be more excited that’s it’s now a year-round offering.
Devilish (Lone Tree, CO) – For twelve years running Lone Tree Brewing has been returning a cult classic around Halloween that won the silver medal at the 2017 Great American Beer Festival. Available in individual 12oz cans, 6-packs, and cases, on Saturday, October 25 at Lone Tree’s original location Hop Zombie, a 9% ABV Imperial Red Ale will make its annual return.
Lone Tree Brewing Company was the first brewery to open in Lone Tree, Colorado in Denver’s South Metro area in 2011, and has remained a local staple for more than a decade. Now deeply rooted in this community, the brewing company is growing friends at its two tasting rooms– the original location near Park Meadows Mall in Lone Tree, and the recently opened Lone Tree Brewing Parker in the heart of Parker, Colorado.

Just south of Denver, along Interstate 25 across the Douglas County line, a city stands poised to establish its own downtown and more than double its employee base with a planned 440-acre development.
All Lone Tree needs is one interested developer to hit the ground running, city officials and real estate insiders said.
The Lone Tree City Center development, on the east side of Interstate 25 along with the developing RidgeGate communities in northern Douglas County, has long been envisioned to be the new downtown Lone Tree between Lincoln Avenue and RidgeGate Parkway.
Even after the Denver Broncos moved on from possibly building an NFL stadium there, Lone Tree officials remain optimistic that they will attract an “anchor” feature that draws people from around the metro area.
Lone Tree officials said they are open to all options.
The development is poised to be a “densely populated urban center” that could generate 30,000-to-40,000 jobs in the area, on top of the 20,000 people already working within city limits, and that doesn’t include the new and ongoing RidgeGate development, according to Lone Tree Director of Economic Development and Public Affairs Jeff Holwell.
Essentially, the development is about intertwining commercial, residential, recreational and mixed-use developments all in one.
Lone Tree advertises the development as “metro Denver’s next large-scale, vibrant downtown.”
“It’s something different in Colorado,” Holwell said. “It’s sort of an edge-city type of development that will be densely populated and densely built, but also not from an original core like Denver or Colorado Springs.”
Holwell said the development could include 10 million square feet of commercial space and attract 5,000-6,000 new residents. It’s an area meant to offer its residents and visitors a comprehensive walking/biking/scootering system without the need for much driving.
That vision depends on what mixed-use, anchor development would draw not only people from around town, but from the entire region.
In the late 1990s, Lone Tree officials and the property owner, Coventry Development Corp., began speculating what a massive city-scale development could look like in Lone Tree.
Coventry has owned the land City Center sits on since 1972.
At the onset of City Center planning, Lone Tree officials thought a larger cityscape development might pull people in. In fact, the City Center area is a big enough area to encompass much of downtown Denver including Coors Field, Union Station, Skyline Park and Ball Arena.
Over time, however, the City Center project has winnowed down into a more dense, mixed-use focused approach.
“We don’t have any development there yet, but we’re positioned for it and waiting for the right catalyst user, because just like on a micro scale, we need a catalyst to get the whole area going,” Coventry Development Corp. Executive Vice President and Director of Development Keith Simon told The Denver Gazette.
The selling point, Simon said, depends on “all the usual real estate fundamentals: location, access to transportation, access to workforce, residential educational facilities for kids and families.”
The Lone Tree City Center was first envisioned when Lone Tree voters, in 2000, green lighted its annexation. In 2003, the Regional Transportation District expanded its light rail network south to RidgeGate Parkway, creating the City Center station to support “transit-oriented-development,” according to officials.
“On top of that,” Simon added, there are “things like walkability and open space parks and trails.”
Simon said the build out of Sky Ridge Medical Center and nearby office buildings decades ago helped sparked growth leading up to City Center and east I-25 RidgeGate development.
Lone Tree, with a population of just over 14,000 people, experiences more people traveling to work there than there are of its own population, according to Holwell.
Already, the surrounding RidgeGate development includes more homes with apartments to be located near City Center. Plans call for the RidgeGate East Village to encompass more than 1,800 homes with over 200 acres of open space and trails, an elementary school, and the site of Lone Tree’s first regional park, which will be named High Note Regional Park.
Along RidgeGate Parkway sits recently completed developments and several underway, including the planned 1,900 home Lyric community, The Reserve Senior Living center, the Avra at Lincoln Station and the Couplet at RidgeGate apartments.
A large King Soopers, with a gas station and space for more retail uses, is poised to anchor the area at the southeast corner of High Note Avenue and RidgeGate Parkway.
Lone Tree officials said the area has, in retrospect, prepared for the massive City Center development.
Big enough, in fact, that the Denver Broncos spoke with Douglas County commissioners and Lone Tree officials about a potential future stadium site at City Center. Instead, the Broncos chose Burnham Yard in Denver as the “preferred” site.
But the Broncos’ interest in Lone Tree has encouraged the city to think just as big, or bigger.
Lone Tree is ready to go, but there appears to be no deadline.
Costs of development depend on who comes in.
“From a buyer’s perspective, we want to make sure this is a shovel-ready site,” Holwell, Lone Tree’s economic czar, said.
Already, developers have expressed interest, including one that looked at Lone Tree to build Colorado’s Amazon headquarters.
That means the sky is the limit when it comes to potential developers.
When the first suitor comes in, “all of the other stuff will come,” Holwell said.
Currently, Lone Tree’s commercial vacancy rate is 8.5%, while the retail vacancy rate is down to 2%, according to city officials and CoStar.
“We start with the vision first of having all the infrastructure in place,” Holwell said. “That’s been the city’s focus, bringing light rail, transportation, the land that’s available and then, of course, the economic vibrancy of the region.”
Douglas County-based Realtor Cooper Thayer, of The Thayer Group and the Colorado Association of Realtors, pointed to housing demands as a challenge for such a large development.
“For housing demand, things are a little bit slower now than they were a couple years ago, or a decade ago,” he said. “There will always be an underlying demand to live in the Denver metro area. That creates not an immunity, but a resistance to adverse market conditions.”
“Economic development wise,” Thayer said, “I don’t foresee RidgeGate or City Center, in particular, having trouble finding ‘anchor’ tenants.”
Thayer suggested Lone Tree might be facing a “feedback loop” that, with more housing, means more commercial – or vice versa. Most real estate experts agree retail follows rooftops as evidenced by King Soopers’ investment in the area with the King Soopers Marketplace at RidgeGate.
He referenced other regional business parks already located on the west side of I-25 in Lone Tree, including the large Charles Schwab campus and Kiewit Regional Headquarters, which has drawn people to work or live in the south metro area.
“With a higher income, higher educated workforce, the South Denver metro area is where that workforce wants to live. They don’t want to commute to downtown Denver,” he said, adding Lone Tree developments appear to be “a more attractive location for national brands than somewhere like downtown Denver right now.”
Lone Tree this year introduced its newest motto: “Deep Roots, New Heights.” It’s a way to honor the city’s history, but embraces what’s to come.
The future of Lone Tree is in the air with City Center and continued RidgeGate developments on the horizon, along with other area plans.
For Mayor Marissa Harmon, business is a cornerstone to development.
As a small business owner in town, she said attracting small businesses generates people walking by and keeping them in business.
“Really, we’re looking to just create a downtown city center that’s vibrant and walkable,” Harmon told The Denver Gazette.
Lone Tree’s mayor envisions a regional “destination,” where there’s entertainment, restaurants, traffic flow, park space and amenities.
“When we look at the commercial aspect of diversity in commercial growth, I think it’s really important,” she said.
Lone Tree officials continue work on the west side of I-25, with goals of enhancing an entertainment district near C-470.
Quoting the baseball movie “Field of Dreams,” Harmon said: “If you build it, they will come.”
“We need to continue to innovate,” she said, “Something that’s a destination, attractor, hotels, parks, things that are going to pull people in and keep them there.”

LONE TREE, Colo. — The large, empty lot off Ridgegate Parkway and S. Havana Street might not look like much now, but the community of Lone Tree has been dreaming about its potential for more than two decades.
Starting in spring 2026, it will begin its transformation into High Note Regional Park.
Communities in Douglas County have been experiencing rapid growth. According to the latest available data, housing permits have been trending upward for the last several years.
While there is a lot of change around the county and Lone Tree, one fundamental thing has stayed the same- the community's love for parks and open space.
So much so that at a time when neighboring communities are facing cuts to their parks and recreation departments, Douglas County residents are about to see their investment in parks finally pay off.
"In 2022, the voters of Douglas County, by 88% agreed to tax themselves. A sales tax and a use tax, in order to facilitate the building of these new parks," said Douglas County Commissioner Kevin Van Winkle.
There are several projects now on deck thanks to what the county describes as a "once-in-a-generation" investment.
$7.4 million in taxpayer dollars from that ballot measure is going to High Note Regional Park, in addition to city dollars, grants and a partnership with South Suburban Parks and Recreation.
The park will have sports fields, a splash pad, two playgrounds, walking paths and large community swings.
"We're really happy to see just time and time again that our community wants to invest in assets like this," said Lone Tree Assistant City Manager Austin Good.
Crews will break ground in the spring of 2026, with a goal of having the park fully open in early fall 2027.
