Home Care in Boulder, Colorado
Family-owned home care serving Boulder County since 2012: one flat rate, no contracts, everything included so your loved one can stay in the community they have spent a lifetime building
About home care in Boulder
Boulder is the county seat of Boulder County, situated at the foot of the Flatirons along the Front Range. Home to the University of Colorado Boulder, the city is shaped by an active, health-conscious culture and a vibrant downtown centered on the Pearl Street Mall. Residents enjoy extensive trail access to Chautauqua Park, Boulder Creek Path, and open space along the foothills. Boulder Community Health anchors local medical care, and the city's outdoor-oriented identity extends to how its residents approach aging and wellness. Colorado CareAssist has provided non-medical in-home care throughout Boulder County since 2012, serving neighborhoods from North Boulder to South Boulder, Table Mesa, and the foothills toward Gunbarrel. Our caregivers assist with personal care, dementia support, veteran care, transportation to medical appointments, meal preparation, housekeeping, and errands, helping older adults remain in the community they have spent a lifetime building, at a single flat hourly rate with no contracts.
Home Care Built for Boulder's Way of Life
Boulder is not a typical place to grow older, and Boulder residents are not typical people. Many have hiked the Flatirons for decades, raised families a block from the Boulder Creek Path, or built careers around the University of Colorado. When health or mobility changes make daily tasks harder, the goal is not to leave Boulder but to stay here, in the neighborhood they know, close to Pearl Street, Chautauqua Park, and the friends and routines that give life meaning. Colorado CareAssist has provided professional in-home care across Boulder County since 2012. We are not a franchise. Every caregiver we hire is screened, trained, and supervised locally, and every client has a dedicated care coordinator who picks up the phone.
Senior Care in Boulder
For older adults who want to stay in their own Boulder home, senior care means a consistent caregiver who helps with the tasks that get harder over time: bathing and dressing, medication reminders, mobility support and fall prevention, home-cooked meals, light housekeeping, and a ride to Boulder Community Health or a UCHealth appointment. Care flexes from a few hours a week to overnight or 24-hour support, all at one flat hourly rate with no long-term contract and no deposit. Because many of the adult children we work with live out of state, every client has a named care coordinator you can reach by phone.
Dementia Care in Boulder
Colorado CareAssist provides dementia and Alzheimer's care in the home, with caregivers trained in redirection, routine, and wandering prevention. The same familiar caregiver each visit lowers anxiety, and a predictable daily schedule plus a safer home setup, with exits secured, walkways kept clear and medications managed on time, helps reduce risk for someone at any stage of cognitive decline. Dementia care is part of our regular in-home services rather than a separate memory-care tier, and it includes respite breaks for the family member who has been doing the caregiving.

Boulder Neighborhoods and Communities We Serve
We serve families throughout Boulder County and match each client with a caregiver who can reliably reach their home.
North Boulder and Newlands
North Boulder and the Newlands neighborhood sit close to Wonderland Lake and the foothills trail system. Many clients here have lived in the same home for thirty or forty years and want to keep that connection to their block, their neighbors, and the open space just outside their door.
South Boulder and Table Mesa
Table Mesa and South Boulder offer a quieter residential character with quick access to NCAR trails and the South Boulder Creek corridor. Families in this area appreciate flexible scheduling, morning help a few days per week or full coverage during recovery, without long-term contracts.
Gunbarrel and East Boulder
Gunbarrel and the eastern plains of Boulder County have a distinct community identity, with many longtime residents who prefer to age in place rather than move closer to the city. We serve this area with the same care model and the same flat rate as central Boulder.
Martin Acres and Surrounding Cities
Martin Acres sits within easy reach of the Boulder Creek Path and the CU campus. We also serve Broomfield, Louisville, Lafayette, and Longmont under the same care model: all of Boulder County and Broomfield County, one rate, no geographic surcharges.
Why Boulder Families Choose Colorado CareAssist
One Rate Covers Everything
Personal care, housekeeping, meal prep, errands, pet care, and handyman services are all included in a single hourly rate. No add-on fees or surprise invoices, ever.
No Contracts Required
Boulder families should not feel locked in. Start with a few hours per week, scale up during recovery, or pause when circumstances change, all without a long-term commitment.
Thoroughly Screened Caregivers
Every caregiver passes CBI background checks, CAPS registry verification, and ongoing drug testing before entering any client's home. You know who is coming through the door.
Staying in Touch
Adult children living outside Colorado, or across town in Denver, stay in touch by calling their care coordinator any time — and can review and sign paperwork from any device via our client portal.
Colorado-Owned Since 2012
We are not a national franchise with a distant call center. Colorado CareAssist was founded here, operates entirely locally, and your care coordinator knows Boulder. Reach us by phone. A real person answers.
