Stacy's Helping Hand specializes in senior placement services for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care facilities in the Denver Metro Area.
We streamline the decision-making process by assessing specific needs and preferences, efficiently narrowing down choices from over 300 facilities to find the best fit for each senior.
Our ideal customers are adults aged 60 and above who may require assistance with daily activities, and their adult children seeking care solutions for their aging parents.
We serve the Denver Metro Area, including Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Castle Rock, Centennial, Denver, Englewood, Lakewood, Littleton, Northglenn, Parker, Westminster, and Wheat Ridge.
We have expertise in finding memory care facilities that offer specialized programs and secure environments designed to enhance the quality of life for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's.
Our deep understanding of local care options and personalized approach ensures that seniors are matched with facilities that meet their care requirements, lifestyle, and emotional needs.
We have over 15 years of experience helping families find the best senior care options, with a deep familiarity with the reputations, pricing, and care levels of facilities in the Denver Metro Area.
We conduct a thorough assessment of the senior's physical, emotional, and social needs to quickly rule out unsuitable facilities and ensure a smooth transition into the right care setting.
Yes, we can identify independent living communities that offer the right balance of independence and available assistance for seniors who are largely independent.
Families should consider the level of care needed, the facility's reputation, pricing, community involvement, and activity programs, as well as accessibility and specialized care options.
We have a deep understanding of the reputations and care levels of over 300 facilities in the Denver Metro Area, ensuring we recommend only trustworthy and reliable options.
Families can start by contacting us for a consultation, where we will assess the senior's needs and begin narrowing down the best care options available.
Yes, we provide support throughout the entire process, making transitions into senior care settings smoother and less stressful for both seniors and their families.
We focus on facilities that offer a continuum of care services to accommodate changing health needs, ensuring your loved one receives the appropriate care as their needs evolve. In addition, we are always in your back pocked if there might be a more appropriate facility once the needs increase.
Yes, we consider specific needs related to accessibility, such as wheelchair access and staff trained in handling mobility issues, when recommending facilities.
By focusing on the geographic needs of Denver and its surrounding areas, we tailor our services to be highly relevant and accessible to the community.
We help locate top skilled nursing facilities known for quality healthcare services, ensuring seniors with complex medical needs receive the care they need. There are also some high level assisted living and high level memory care facilities that may be an option.
Assisted living communities can provide more oversite or offer on-demand assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADL) for a resident. These communities also offer independence, come in all sizes, are socially oriented models, and many provide a high level of care.
Independent living communities are primarily designed for seniors who are capable of living independently. Many times a senior does not want to have the responsibility of owning a home or the responsibilities of everyday life. These communities provide oversite, offer meals, may offer transportation and have an array of social activities that are enjoyable to the resident.
Alzheimer’s and Dementia communities are secured and reserved for those who have memory impairments that limit their ability to care for themselves on a daily basis. Residents live in either private or semi-private settings and are supervised by trained staff who provide structured activities and personal care.
Independent Living can provide scheduled care with a home care company. Assisted Living provides on-demand care. An assisted living in a smaller setting also provides more eyes-on care which can be helpful if a resident is a fall risk or has dementia.
Independent Living becomes a concern if you need assistance toileting or are a fall risk. The staff at the community cannot help you – only the home care company you have hired to help can assist you with any activities of daily living.
To see if we are good service for your family you can give us a call for a free consultation. Together we can discuss how we can help you. Regardless of whether you choose to use our service, we can talk about your care options.
Below is what Families tell us about our service:
- Their family saved countless hours of time and stress because we had done the leg work by touring and inspecting more than 300 Denver Metro facilities.
- Together we quickly ruled out dozens of facilities that wouldn’t be a good fit because of our high level assessment and deep understanding of their loved one’s needs.
- Educating them about what may lie ahead gave them a sense of relief just knowing.
- By working with us they avoided spending thousands of additional dollars each month on care.
- They felt assured knowing we were there and it made the transition seamless and easier.
- Having us as their liaison for 3 months or longer gave them peace of mind. They felt relieved that if there were any issues we would be there to advocate for them.
There are many types of care options available: Assisted Living facilities, Independent living communities, Alzheimer’s/Dementia facilities, Continuum of Care communities, Nursing Homes, Home Care, Adult Day Centers, and Respite Care.
Yes, communities do offer medication management. Most large communities charge an additional fee to provide you with medication management. Smaller communities/homes include the medication management with the care cost.
A plan can and should be in place for your loved one’s wishes. If a medical emergency arises, the facility will contact you and/or may send them to the hospital. If they send them to the hospital, ask if they will be accompanied.
It depends on the facility and community whether they have a full time nurse. We can discuss which communities do have a full time nurse.
The cost for a community or facility varies greatly and depends on the type of facility and the level of care needed. Generally it can range from $2,700 to $12,000 per month. The average facility ranges between $4,500 $9,000 per month.
Yes, a person with Alzheimer or dementia can live in Independent Living and Assisted Living, but it depends on the level of their dementia and what type of facility. Long term many times it is not a good fit or advisable for someone to live in Independent Living or a larger Assisted Living.
Generally, a smaller setting is better for someone with more moderate to advanced dementia. In addition, staff trained to understand dementia is advisable so they understand how to approach and care for the person.
Some communities ask for a security deposit. Most times a community asks for a non-refundable “move in fee” or “community fee.” An entrance fee is only applicable to some of the Continuum of Care Communities.
You will bring your own furnishings in an apartment setting, whether it is Assisted Living, Independent Living or a Continuum of Care Community. Smaller Assisted Living Facilities can generally provide furnishings, if you wish.
Most communities do not allow large pets. If the community does allow pets, generally it is a cat or a small dog. Give us a call and we can discuss which communities allow pets.
Today it is much less common for facilities and communities to allow smoking. Give us a call and we can discuss which communities we know allow smoking.
The food can be very good. We suggest you eat at the community and see what you think before you choose the community.
You will have privacy. The only type of care facility where it is difficult to have privacy is a nursing home.
Of course you can move in together. We do find that it is hard to find a community that is a great fit for both couples, but we can try our best.
If you are working with us, then we will schedule the tour and accompany you. You can also drop in. If it is your first time visiting, we suggest you call ahead because you are more likely to get answers to all your questions.
