In-Home Personal Care Providers
Compassionate Support, Right at Home

Our In-Home Personal Care Providers are the heart of the Care Services Program. These dedicated professionals deliver non-skilled support services that help individuals remain safe, comfortable, and independent in their own homes. With a focus on dignity and respect, they assist with essential homemaking tasks—such as light housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation—as well as personal care services like bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility support.

Each provider is:

• Compassionate and caring, bringing warmth and kindness into every home they serve
• Professionally trained, completing a minimum of 20 hours of annual training to stay current on best practices
• Thoroughly screened, including:
  • Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) verification
  • Colorado Adult Protective Services (APS) CAPS checks
  • Comprehensive criminal background checks

Our providers are more than caregivers—they are trusted companions and essential members of our team. Their dedication, reliability, and empathy make a meaningful difference in the lives of those they serve. They are truly the backbone of our Care Services Program, and their hard work is deeply appreciated every single day.
