Our number one priorty during COVID-19 is to ensure the safety and well being of our employees, caregivers, seniors and volunteers. With that said, we have adjusted our programming to allow for social distancing from the safety of your home. These changes will remain in effect until further notice.

Caregiver Assistance Fund

Getting respite and help is going to continue to be a challenge. Family may not be able to visit from other areas for a while to offer help. The caregiver can’t get away. Consequently, we have applied for special relief funds to offer financial assistance for getting in-home help from a qualified agency, such as Visiting Angels. We can subsidize up to 30 hours of in-home care per family per quarter depending on amount of funds available. Call 970-977-0188 for more information.
