SENIOR HUB INC

Program: Respite Care & In-Home Supportive Services

Program Description:

The Senior Hub is the major provider of Respite Care and In-Home Services in Adams County and parts of Arapahoe County. Recently this program was expanded, and now also serves Denver, Broomfield and Jefferson counties. Respite Care services provide caregivers a break from their responsibilities by providing trained and trusted professional caregivers who are experienced in caring for older adults. In-Home Services provides professional caregivers who offer intensive personal care services and can stay with seniors for extended periods of time. Volunteer caregivers provide less intensive services, such as grocery shopping, running errands, and light housekeeping. 

 

All professional and volunteer caregivers are carefully screened, trained, bonded and insured. The program also conducts support groups to provide primary caregivers with information, support, and access to services they may need. We have also created a Companion Care Program to help older adults care for their pets. Our volunteers bathe and walk pets, and take them to a Veterinarian

Program: Meals on Wheels + Rural Meals

Program Description:

Meals on Wheels and Rural Meals on Wheels provide meals, as well as volunteers who monitor the wellness of program participants. In both programs all meals provide at least one-third of the recommended daily nutrition for older adults. Besides delivering meals, The Senior Hub is responsible for overall administration of and reporting on the program. We also conduct an initial in-home assessment with all program participants to ensure that they qualify for the program and to help them complete all the required paperwork. We repeat this assessment every six months to monitor the well-being of our clients.
