Home Care in Palmer Lake, Colorado
Family-owned home care serving Palmer Lake and the Tri-Lakes area of El Paso County since 2012: one flat rate, no contracts, and support that keeps loved ones at home
About home care in Palmer Lake
Palmer Lake is part of the Tri-Lakes area in northern El Paso County, sitting north of Monument beside Monument Lake, and it is one of the smaller foothill towns in the corridor. The homes here mix long-time properties with newer subdivisions, and the weekly trip down into Colorado Springs for hospital appointments is part of life for most households. The nearest full-service hospitals are UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central and Penrose Hospital (St. Francis) in Colorado Springs, so appointment transport is planned around the season and the pass. Colorado CareAssist has provided non-medical in-home care across the Tri-Lakes area since 2012 at a single flat hourly rate with no contracts required.
Home Care Built for Palmer Lake Families
Palmer Lake families plan around weather, elevation, and the drive into Colorado Springs, and care has to work the same way. Colorado CareAssist has served Tri-Lakes households since 2012 with personal care, meals, housekeeping, medication reminders, winter-safe routines, and escorted drives to Colorado Springs appointments, all under one flat hourly rate with no contracts. Families work with a local coordinator — not a franchise call center — who adjusts the plan as needs change and keeps the schedule steady.

Palmer Lake Neighborhoods and Nearby Areas We Serve
Our caregivers support families throughout Palmer Lake and the surrounding Tri-Lakes communities in El Paso County.
Palmer Lake Proper
Long-time residents along the town's quiet streets often want just enough support to stay in the home they know, close to family and to the routines they have built over the years.
Monument and Woodmoor
Many Palmer Lake families are also caring for a parent in Monument or Woodmoor, so we keep the same caregiver and the same plan running across both towns whenever a family asks us to.
Gleneagle and the Northern Tri-Lakes
Gleneagle sits north of Monument, and we coordinate coverage there and in Palmer Lake together, so a family caring for a loved one in either town keeps one caregiver and one plan.
Down the Pass to Colorado Springs
Most Palmer Lake families travel down into Colorado Springs for hospital appointments, specialists, and errands, so our drivers plan each trip around the pass and the season rather than the clock.
